Silver Eagle Arms
About Silver Eagle Arms
Silver Eagle Arms represents Turkish-manufactured shotguns imported exclusively by TR Imports, Inc., which has operated as "the only true Turkish-American joint venture manufacturer" in the U.S. market since 2002.
The brand was founded when TR Imports began offering exclusive Turkish shotguns at affordable prices, filling a market gap between entry-level and premium shotguns.
Silver Eagle shotguns are produced in the historic gunmaking town of Huglu, Turkey, where craftsmen whose families have been involved in gunmaking for generations continue a tradition dating back to the turn of the last century.
The brand has gained recognition for providing reliable performance at budget-friendly prices, making quality Turkish shotguns accessible to American shooters across multiple action types.
Today, Silver Eagle Arms continues its commitment to delivering affordable, quality shotguns including pump-action, semi-automatic, over/under, side-by-side, and tactical models backed by comprehensive warranties.
