Dickinson Arms

About Dickinson Arms

Dickinson Arms has built a distinguished reputation in the firearms industry by importing high-quality shotguns and handguns manufactured by the AKUS/Komando factory in Huglu, Turkey.

The company operates from its headquarters and well-stocked warehouse in Moorpark, California, providing U.S.-based customer support and service.

AKUS was established over ten years ago with the goal of making the finest double barrel and over-under shotguns in Turkey, previously manufacturing firearms for major brands including Smith & Wesson, Kimber, SKB, and Webley & Scott.

When these companies discontinued their Turkish imports, Dickinson Arms stepped in to continue importing these exceptional firearms under their "Guns of Distinction" brand slogan.

Today, the company is building their reputation "one shotgun and one customer at a time" while offering one of the most complete lines of shotguns in the world.
