About TNW Firearms

TNW Firearms Inc. was founded in the early 1990s by Tim Bero, who transitioned from running a machine shop in Southern California to becoming a firearms manufacturer in the Pacific Northwest.

The company was officially established in 1995 when Bero was approached to do restoration work on a batch of 1919 machine guns, which led to the birth of TNW Firearms.

TNW relocated to Vernonia, Oregon in 1994 to accommodate growth with onsite R&D, testing, and production facilities.

The company has been a leader in manufacture and development of historical weaponry and accessories since the early 1990s, contributing significantly to preserving firearms history while also innovating in the modern carbine rifle market.

Today, TNW prides itself on preserving firearms history for collectors, museums, and movie companies while also developing innovative products for modern shooting sports and national defense markets.
