BRANFORD, Conn. — Wilson Arms, a leading manufacturer of precision gun barrels since 1954, is entering 2027 with expanded manufacturing capabilities, new equipment investments, and a renewed focus on innovation following the company's transition to new private ownership announced earlier this year.
Operating from its Branford, Connecticut facility, Wilson Arms manufactures barrels from .17 caliber to .50 caliber, offering more than 30 different caliber and twist-rate combinations in lengths up to 27 inches. The company specializes in CMV and 416R stainless steel, the industry standard for match-grade barrels, and supplies barrels in every stage of completion, from blanks to fully finished barrels, for firearms manufacturers serving military, law enforcement, and sporting markets.
"We've invested where our customers measure us — capacity, consistency, and lead times," said Steve Pawl, CEO of Wilson Arms. "At the same time, we've strengthened our quality control program with bore inspection, air gauging, and CMM verification, so every barrel that leaves Branford meets the standard this company has stood behind for seven decades."
Beyond production, Wilson Arms works directly with engineers at firearms manufacturers on new product development, applying seven decades of barrel-making experience to help solve engineering challenges in gun design — from prototype work through full-scale production runs.
Wilson Arms will exhibit at the 2027 SHOT Show Supplier Showcase, where the team looks forward to meeting with existing and new customers at booth 52641.
