Where’s Frankford Arsenal from?
Frankford Arsenal is an American brand of which the name has a rather interesting history. The name is loaned from an old ammunition factory in Pennsylvania that was -between 1816 and 1977- the epicentre of the development of ammunition for firearms. All kinds of ammunition were developed and produced there. The ammo plant was enormous, a city in itself. In the American Civil War and both the First and Second World War, Frankford Arsenal has contributed greatly. An interesting fact: during the American Civil War, the commander of Frankford Arsenal resigned and joined the Confederates by knocking on their door with a huge load of arms and ammunition that he took with him.
The Frankford Arsenal plant eventually closed, but the name continues as a homage to what is regarded as a legendary place in American history of arms and ammunition, where important developments have been made. Gunpowder was tested, time fuses were developed and many guns and ammunition were designed and tested. For instance; the Gatling was born there. We’ve come a long way since time fuses and muskets are long gone, but reloading is still as relevant as ever. And the link with Frankford Arsenal is clear: developing and making your own ammunition.
It’s for this reason, that the Frankford Arsenal name has been chosen as a name for a line of reloading products by what used to be Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. A fitting name with loads of historic connotation. Smith & Wesson Brands changed its name to American Outdoor Brands, a parent company of different brands that supplies a huge range of outdoor related products in multiple categories within certain segments, such as firearms, outdoor products, knives, et cetera. Each brand under the American Outdoor Brands wing, such as Frankford Arsenal, operates as an independent company with its own vision and an own team of specialists. And that’s the key to success of Frankford Arsenal: they are part of a big conglomerate, but have the freedom to develop themselves as specialists with a full focus on developing high quality reloading products. This shows in their top quality and decently priced products.
