About Battle Arms Development
Battle Arms Development was founded on July 4, 2009, by George Huang, an architectural engineer with a background in designing casinos and theme parks for Disney and Universal.
Despite having no prior firearms experience before 9/11, Huang became interested in the firearms industry and noticed significant stagnation compared to rapidly advancing sectors like IT.
His "out-of-the-box" thinking and engineering expertise led him to identify opportunities for innovation in the AR-15 platform, particularly in ambidextrous designs.
The company pioneered bottom-up innovations in the AR15/AR9/AR10 industry and now holds over 60 unique U.S. patents for lightweight, ambidextrous, and reliable weapon designs.
Today, Battle Arms Development operates as a licensed 07 FFL / Class 2 SOT manufacturer from Henderson, Nevada, committed to 100% Made in USA production standards.
