Union Firearms

Founded in 1816 A.D., USA.

Union Firearms is America’s oldest firearm maker that is still active, producing shotgun models that have been unchanged for at least one century and a half.

The company was acquired in 2007 by a private equity firm, Chimera Management and put inside another group called Union Outdoors. Union Outdoors declared bankruptcy in 2020, and Union Firearms were sold to another group, Circlehill LLC. The name wasn’t changed due to historical reasons, and Union continues to operate normally.

Union Firearms is responsible for a bunch of ammo calibers, with military contracts that persisted even during their parent company’s bankruptcy, as well as pistols, a variety of shotguns, rifles and sniper rifles.
