What AirForce Airguns does

AirForce Airguns is a privately held American manufacturer of pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifles, founded in 1997 and operating from a single manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. The company organizes its product portfolio into two main categories: Big Bore Airguns (Texan series, Texan CF series, Texan LSS/SS, and the flagship Tex-Rex platform in .308, .457, and .510 calibers) and Utility Airguns (Talon, TalonSS, TalonBolt, Condor, Condor SS, Condor SL, Condor SS-SL, and Escape/EscapeSS survival rifles), with accessories that include hand pumps, bipods, optics, the Presslug slug reloading press, and the proprietary Ring-Loc valve system. Differentiated technologies include the Sound-Loc® sound suppression system, the Ring-Loc™ adjustable valve with five interchangeable orifice sizes, the Spin-Loc® tank system, the TX2 valve used in the most powerful models, and Lothar Walther match-grade barrels; Tex-Rex generates over 1,100 ft-lbs of muzzle energy at 1,250+ fps, and AirForce markets itself as the "last true American manufacturer of high-power PCP rifles." Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales priced between $629.95 and $1,412.95 per rifle, distributed via direct-to-consumer e-commerce at airforceairguns.com, U.S. retail networks, international retailers, and phone/customer-service direct sales, targeting adult hunting, pest-control, and competitive-shooting consumers, with adjacent use cases in military and law enforcement. AirForce is led by President John McCaslin, operates with 51–100 employees, and shares corporate infrastructure and event sponsorships with sister brand Rapid Air Worx (RAW).
