Steyr Arms, Inc. is the U.S. manufacturer, importer, and distributor for Steyr Arms hunting rifles, sporting rifles, and pistols. Founded in 1864 by industrial pioneer Josef Werndl, the first rifles produced had a “Mannlicher stock” also known as a “full stock” because it extended the entire length of the barrel. This new design enabled Steyr Arms to quickly establish a reputation for producing unique and incredibly accurate firearms. From the original bullpup design of the AUG, to the Scout rifles integrated bipod, and the patented trapezoidal sights of the M9 pistol, that reputation for innovation remains today. The prominent AUG/A3 M1 bullpup rifle is manufactured in-house at the U.S. headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama. While our newest icons HS. 50, SSG M1, Pro Hunter II, and A2 MF line of pistols are imported from the main factory in Steyr, Austria. Steyr Arms’s fundamental values have always remained, like our renowned cold-hammer-forged barrels, our four pillars of excellence—innovation, precision, reliability, and safety—continue to be at the company’s heart.
