ABOUT RSS DEFENSE
As a Law Enforcement Officer, I have had extensive experience with firearms throughout my life. My interest in quality guns grew during my time on SWAT, where I recognized the need for custom firearms. The standard-issue black rifle lacked the performance capabilities required for the job, prompting me to establish RSS DEFENSE. The name RSS DEFENSE reflects our commitment to crafting custom firearms tailored to individual defense needs and preferences. In our custom firearms, the barrel serves as the backbone, ensuring precision and accuracy, while the BCG (Bolt Carrier Group) functions as the heart of the AR Platform.
At RSS DEFENSE, we are dedicated to building custom firearms that align with our customers' preferences and requirements. Our approach involves meticulous attention to detail, recognizing that the foundation of quality firearms lies in passion and expertise. Unlike assembly line production, we prioritize building firearms from scratch, covering every aspect from the muzzle to the stock. Through our continuous improvement efforts, we have established RSS DEFENSE as a symbol of superior American-made firearms.
