If CZ-USA's factory in Little Rock is built, the company will join a number of custom firearms-makers operating in Arkansas.
In Fort Smith are Umarex USA and Walther Arms, both under the umbrella of Arnsberg, Germany-based PW Group. The parent company of Daisy Outdoor Products -- Gamo Outdoor USA -- moved its U.S. headquarters to Rogers a few years ago and expanded the facility there.
Custom gun-makers Wilson Combat and Nighthawk Custom operate in Berryville.
