LIST: 6 Wyoming Gun Manufactures

You can't beat American-made, especially when it comes to guns. And if it's Wyoming-made, even better.

Here is a list of companies that manufacture guns in Wyoming.

Weatherby, Inc: This company moved its corporate headquarters and manufacturing operations to Sheridan, Wyoming, after it fled regulations and taxes in California. They produce famous bolt-action hunting rifles like the Mark V, Vanguard, and the Wyoming-inspired Model 307.

Freedom Arms: Located in Freedom (and Burlington), Wyoming, this company is famous for crafting high-precision, heavy-duty single-action revolvers (such as the Model 83 chambered in .454 Casull) and single-shot pistols.

Big Horn Armory: Based in Cody, Wyoming, they specialize in large-caliber, big-bore lever-action rifles modeled after classic John Browning designs, chambered for powerful cartridges like the .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum.

Stag Arms: Relocated operations to Wyoming, producing popular modern sporting rifles and AR-platform firearms.

KelTec: Expanded manufacturing operations to Rock Springs, Wyoming, drawn by the local skilled workforce and pro-Second Amendment environment.

Magpul: This was a Colorado-based company that, much like some of the others listed above, moved to Wyoming to get away from high regulations and taxes. They are now based in Cheyenne. They make high-quality firearms and accessories, plus tactical gear.

Firearms companies like Weatherby, Magpul, Stag Arms, and KelTec moved to Wyoming to escape strict gun laws in states like California, Colorado, and Connecticut and to benefit from a pro-business environment.

Wyoming ranks among the most gun-friendly and permissive states in the U.S., featuring constitutional carry, high rates of firearm ownership, and very few firearm restrictions.
