US PALM AK-47 Magazines
About US PALM
US PALM (US Primary Armament Logistical Manufacturing) was founded in spring 2009 by Robert Anderson in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The company was established with the mission to "create gear for the modern warfighter" and fill gaps in the tactical gear industry with quality American-made products.
After ceasing operations in August 2017, US PALM was revived in late 2018 when Century Arms International acquired the brand.
The company became known as the "industry leader in AK47 accessories" and set the standard for American-made AK magazines.
Today, US PALM continues to deliver high-quality AK platform accessories under Century Arms ownership while maintaining the original founders' involvement and vision.
