Default American Arms?

Does this company still exist? My father gave me an over/under made by American Arms Inc., and I was looking for info on the company. This gun was bought brand new within the last 5 or 6 years. I cannot find a website, email, or anything stating whether or not this company is still around. I' m beginning to wonder if they got bought out, or just folded. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

American Arms sold me a very good 28 Ga O/U....I loved it...it was about $500 I bought two more .410 O/U and returned them because they didn' t shoot to point of aim.....actually patterned a full foot off at 25 yards.

That 28 Ga was a very fine gun. Shot many pheasants and quail with it.

It' s my understanding that Tri-Star is owned by Marty Fajen....if she inherited her father' s love of quality and Value, the name will represent a fine gun.

I' m cheering for her. I did a bunch of business with Fajen stocks and was never disappointed. Carry on Marty.

I have a American Arms SilverII 12 gauge O/U, its actually my second one. After I sold the first one I had, a few years later (cuz i missed it) I bought another one. I believe they were made in Spain by Diarm silver.

Is there any way for me to tell which model I have? I do have the original box, but not any paperwork that came with it. I love the gun, it shoots great. Only thing I don' t care for is the lack of interchangable chokes on the model I have.

The silver I models had fixed chokes and extractors, the Silver II models had interchangable chokes and ejectors.
