Anderson Arms
Anderson Manufacturing Rifles and Accessories
One of the completely homegrown and family-owned firearms manufacturers in America is Anderson Manufacturing. Anderson Manufacturing was founded in Hebron, Kentucky more than 30 years ago, and has since made a name for itself in quality and production.
Anderson Manufacturing ranked first in production in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) 2017 Annual Firearms and Export Report. With more than 211,000 firearms produced that year, they ousted every other manufacturer on the report, making a drive to bring more options to the marketplace.
One of their most well-known products is the infamous Anderson Rifle, which uses certain features of nanotechnology. This advanced metal treatment allows the company to bill the finished firearm as a "no-lube" rifle.
Products Manufactured
Anderson Manufacturing uses similar technologies to manufacture a wide range of products. They offer uppers, lower receivers, DIY kits, accessories, and even pre-assembled units that are ready to be shipped to your local FFL shop for a reasonable price.
The AM15 is the Anderson Manufacturing line of AR platform rifles. It comes in both a full-length Optic Ready format and a smaller pistol format that cuts the barrel length down to just 7.5" delivering accuracy in a small format.
Are Anderson Arms Made in the USA?
All Anderson Manufacturing products are 100% American-made at the facility in Kentucky. This not only keeps production and jobs in the states, but it ensures the products provide you the reliability you expect from an American company.
It also means that when you create an account with Anderson or join the Facebook products groups, you'll have the option to customize your information controls. You will be able to choose between essential and optional cookies or just essential cookies so that you can control third-party advertising and measurement services.
Are These Products Good Quality?
The quality of the Anderson Manufacturing products is exceptional and has been attested to in review after review.
The AM15 Optic Ready, for example, is a sleek black anodized finish that only tips the scales at 6.2 pounds. It's available in caliber options from one end of the spectrum to the other. The RF85 nano-treatment cuts friction by 85%, and boasts a 23% faster action while being able to be cleaned with a mild soap & water solution.
The AM15 also comes in a pistol, that can be chambered in the same options as the Optic Ready and has a slightly lower weight of 4.9 lbs before being filled up with a 30-count of 5.56 NATO. It keeps a 24" total length, while also factoring in a barrel length of just 7.5".
Some of the best-selling accessories for a build like these include the upgraded Magpul grip, and of course, the Anderson flash hider from their Knight Stalker line, and enough Picatinny real estate up top to retire on.
