ABOUT RSS DEFENSE
Built from Experience. Driven by Precision.
As a Law Enforcement Officer with years on SWAT, I’ve learned that not all rifles are created equal. The standard-issue black rifle often fell short in the moments that mattered most — where precision, control, and reliability weren’t just nice to have, they were non-negotiable.
That’s why I founded RSS DEFENSE.
Born from real-world need, RSS DEFENSE exists to deliver custom-built firearms that perform under pressure. We don’t settle for assembly-line shortcuts — we build from the ground up, with every component chosen for purpose and performance.
To us, the barrel is the backbone, delivering consistent precision. The BCG is the heart, driving reliability and function. Every rifle we create reflects this belief — and reflects your needs.
Whether you're a professional, a defender, or a disciplined shooter, we build rifles for those who expect more — and demand American-made excellence.
We create precision firearms from the ground up — not mass-assembled kits, but custom-built rifles, forged with intent and tuned to purpose. To us, the barrel is the backbone, the source of accuracy. The BCG is the heart, the engine of function. Every part, every pin, every torque is done for a reason.
We don’t follow trends. We build for shooters who live by results. If you’re serious about your rifle — we speak your language.
