Made in Texas: The story behind Mossberg & Sons, the oldest family-owned firearm manufacturer in the US

Today, we’re featuring the shotguns created by the oldest family-owned firearm manufacturer in the U.S., O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc.

The product

Mossberg firearms were originally created in Connecticut by founder Oscar Mossberg and his sons Iver and Harold. But since 1989, a significant amount of the company’s product has been manufactured in the Lone Star State.

O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., the largest pump-action shotgun manufacturer in the world and the oldest family-owned and operated firearms manufacturer in America, entered the firearm industry in March of 1919 out of New Haven, Connecticut, according to https://www.mossberg.com/since...history-of-mossberg/

By 1989, over 90 percent of the company’s total production was based in Eagle Pass at its subsidiary facility Maverick Arms Inc., according to https://www.americanrifleman.o...ufacturing-facility/

n 2014, Mossberg decided to have a 116,000-square-foot expansion of the Texas factory after the state of Connecticut passed a gun-control bill that banned some of the company’s most popular products, according to https://www.forbes.com/sites/f...-texas/#54fb8d913aed

Today, the company still has its corporate headquarters in Connecticut but almost all firearms are manufactured in Texas.

Eagle Pass? Really, did a couple sites there years ago....figured nothing was there but coyotes.

Cool

Eagle Pass in Maverick County. I have a couple of their Maverick shotguns.

In 2017 the Texas Legislature passed a bill (HB 1819) to ensure that the Mossberg, Texas produced 12 gauge "firearm" aka Shockwave, was no longer prohibited for sale.

Thank you TSRA.

I was uprooted and transplanted to CT 4 years ago, I don't blame them one bit. Colt, Ruger, Marlin, Smith, Remington, the whole lot of em should get the hell out of New England.

^^^ You know, that's one of the few good things about going into bankruptcy or being sold - there are all kinds of opportunities to sell the old plant and move.
