Odin Works

About ODIN Works

ODIN Works was founded in 2012 in Boise, Idaho by Tom Hines, who wanted to expand from rimfire projects into the future of centerfire rifles with AR-15 platforms.

The company started as a one-man shop with just one lathe and one mill, where Tom would examine AR-15s and ask "what was missing, what could be made better, or what hasn't been done yet?"

From a single employee operation, ODIN Works has grown over 10+ years to become a well-known innovator in the firearms industry with in-house manufacturing capabilities.

In 2022, their OTR-15 rifle was named the "Coolest Thing Made in Idaho" by the Idaho Manufacturing Alliance, highlighting their impact on the shooting sports community.

Today, ODIN Works operates under the motto "Forward with Purpose" and maintains their commitment to making quality American-made products for shooters who demand precision and performance.
