Bison Armory is based in Washington State, in the foothills of the North Cascade Mountains. It’s really nice here, and doesn’t rain as much as people say.

 

We originally opened our shop in 2008 to support AR-15 enthusiasts using 6.8 SPC (6.8 x 43mm) ammunition. The intermediate power 6.8 SPC is arguably the ideal cartridge for the AR-15 rifle. The 6.8 SPC has superior ballistics to the two most common intermediate cartridges; the 5.56 x 45mm NATO and the 7.62 x 39mm. While muzzle energy and velocity are similar to the 7.62 x 39mm, the 6.8 SPC significantly surpasses the performance of this round throughout its trajectory.

 

The accuracy, quality and aesthetics of our 6.8 SPC products, together with our semi-custom approach to assemblies, helped us quickly gain ground in the industry. In 2011, Bison expanded its product line to include the BR-X, which is based on 7.62 x 51mm MA-TEN receiver sets from Mega Arms.

 

In 2012, we introduced our first industry innovation: the Bison Armory 6.8 BSP (Bison Subsonic Platform). This AR-15 platform features a 16" stainless steel barrel with high a twist rate that can both stabilize a 200 grain 6.8 mm bullet at subsonic velocities and handle any full-power 6.8 SPC load. As a result, the 6.8 BSP’s subsonic performance equals that of the .300 Blackout without cutting any corners on full-power function or performance.

 

Our current lineup of products includes components from ER Shaw, White Oak Armament, Mega, Tactical Machining, Yankee Hill, Troy, Young Manufacturing, JP Enterprises, Smith Enterprise, PRI, Magpul, LMT, Stag, Midwest Industries and others. The expansive appetites of AR-15 enthusiasts are well fed by the diversity of AR-15 products and accessories available today, but our goal is to only serve the best.
