User:MasterPiece Arms

Masterpiece Arms is a manufacturer of firearms and related accessories specializing in semi-automatic pistols and carbines, suppressors and long range precision bolt action rifles. Located outside of Athens, GA, MPA is one of the few firearms companies that produces over 80% of the components used in our products "in house." Design, Engineering, Machining, Turning, Heat Treat, Assy, Coating and other related functions are all performed within our facility. Proudly made in America. Lifetime Guarantee on every product we make.

Masterpiece Arms manufacturing facility is located in Comer, GA. Our building size is currently 20,000 sq ft, however an expansion is planned over the next 2-3 years, nearly doubling our size.

We are one of the few firearms companies that produces the majority of our own components within our facility. Our equipment list includes over 40 CNC Machine Tools, including Vertical & Horizontal Machining Centers, Swiss Turn CNC Lathes, Multi Axis CNC Lathes, 5 Axis Vertical CNC, Robotic Load/Unload Automation, Heat Treat, Conversion Coatings Systems for Black Phosphate and Black Oxide as well as Miller Synchrowave TIG Welding Systems. Other than Springs, polymer (injection molding), and fasteners, we turn, machine, fabricate, weld, heat treat, coat and assemble almost every part utilized in our weapons. We are definitely NOT an assembly house.

We design and build all of our own machining and turning fixtures, test benches, assembly and welding Fixtures, and Special Gaging.

Our Quality System is World Class. We were originally certified to QS9000/ISO9002 in 2002 and then became TS16949/ISO9002 Registred in 2007. We have an experienced quality staff, perform our gage calibration “in-house”, and strictly follow the processes dictated by our quality system, which are audited once per year by an “outside” registrar.

MPA is constantly upgrading our manufacturing and quality related equipment. We recently added a “State of the Art” decibel metering system to benchmark and verify our Sound Suppressor performance and compare to our competition. The National Instruments Lab View Software and Hardware system, coupled with GRAS Microphones and Calibrators, provides extraordinary feedback for our Suppressor Manufacturing practices.

Our Inspection Equipment includes (5) CMM’s, Microhites, Skidded/Skidless Profilometers, Ballbar Systems (for machine Accuracy), Clamp Force Meters (Spindle Clamping Force) and an enormous quantity of micrometers, calipers, depth gages, intrimiks, Thread Gages and other miscellaneous inspection tools.

A full staff of Manufacturing Engineers are constantly working on new weapon designs, product enhancement and other engineering related functions. We recently hired a Suppressor specialist for our ever increasing line of Sound Suppressors. The Staff uses Solidworks, Mastercam, and Surfcam for all of our solid modeling and CAD/CAM requirements.

At MPA, we are passionate about weapons and the firearms market. Every MPA Weapon and Suppressor that leaves our facility is built by personnel who truly care about the products we are producing and providing to the US and International Markets. We are proud to be an American Firearms Manufacturer.
