Adams Arms Set for Revival Under New Ownership

Alexandria Pro-Fab, a Minnesota-based contract machine shop, has acquired the assets and intellectual property of Adams Arms and plans to relaunch the firearms brand in the second quarter of 2025.

"We're a veteran-owned company, and we've been doing this a long time," explained Greg Ellingson, chief operating officer of Alexandria Pro-Fab. "The quality of our products will be the same. It's just under different leadership. We'll be able to cut out some of the middleman element of things and ensure that Adams Arms remains on the leading edge in piston-driven [AR-15] systems."

Initial Product Lineup

The relaunch will feature a select range of piston-driven rifles under the Adams Arms brand, beginning with:

• 16"-barreled carbines
• 11.5"-barreled pistols

"Our intent is to ultimately offer most, if not all, of Adams Arms' previous product lines," Ellingson stated.
