Gun Owners of Arkansas (GO-AR) had the distinct privilege of organizing a private, members-only tour at the renowned Nighthawk Custom manufacturing plant in Berryville, Arkansas. This special event brought together numerous GO-AR members, elected officials, and political candidates from across the state to experience firsthand the craftsmanship and dedication that make Nighthawk Custom an industry leader in firearms manufacturing.
The tour offered an inside look at the advanced facility, which houses multiple departments staffed by skilled professionals. From the precision machining of raw blanks to the expert gunsmithing, meticulous quality control, finishing, and final shipment, every stage of the process reflects the company’s commitment to excellence. CEO Mark Stone warmly welcomed guests and shared the remarkable story of Nighthawk Custom, from its humble beginnings to its status as one of the most respected names in the industry today.
GO-AR extends heartfelt gratitude to Nighthawk Custom for their hospitality and for providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at their world-class operation. The staff took the time to engage with guests, offering detailed explanations of the artistry and engineering behind their handcrafted firearms. Their passion for their work was evident, making the tour both educational and inspiring.
Following the tour, GO-AR members gathered for a meal generously hosted by Representative James Eaton and Corner Stone Bank. This event was more than just a tour—it was a celebration of our community’s dedication to protecting Second Amendment rights and supporting local industry.
One of the highlights of the day was the drawing for a highly coveted Nighthawk Custom Vice President 1911 pistol. Congratulations to longtime GO-AR member Ed Garner, who took home this incredible prize—well-deserved recognition for his continued support of GO-AR.
Additionally, attendees were granted access to “The Vault,” an exclusive collection featuring rare and high-end firearms, including Nighthawk’s first-ever pistol and their latest innovations. It was a true paradise for firearm enthusiasts, and we highly encourage others to visit Nighthawk Custom for an unforgettable experience.
