Who is Red Rock Arms?


Red Rock Arms is a new manufacturer of firearms, located in Mesa, Arizona. We specialize in sporting rifles. Most of our parts are purchased through Top Notch and are fabricated in the United States. We plan to make improvements in the BW-5, which may involve redesigning features to be more true to the original 1970’s German 9mm carbine rifle, including diversifying our supplier base.

At present (January 2004), Red Rock Arms only manufactures the BW-5 Standard and FS models. However, we will expand to other rifles in the future (2005 and beyond), but for now, making the BW-5 and servicing our customers has all of our attention. Our goal is to manufacture a high quality, reliable, safe rifle and deliver it on-time (from stock unless we run out) while being customer oriented.
