Nighthawk Custom 1911 Factory Tour
We recently had a chance to meet up with the guys from Nighthawk Custom, and talked with them about their high end 1911 pistols as we toured their facilities in northwestern Arkansas.
Nighthawk Custom
http://www.NighthawkCustom.com
Chris Costa who runs many Nighthawk guns, recommended we visit, and I am glad he did.
Seeing how Nighthawk Custom undertakes the task of building such a diverse product line of high end products was a treat, something I'm glad we have the opportunity to share. It is easy to ignore products that carry a higher price tag when comparing options at the store, so seeing what is behind a product is something worth checking out
We talked about how using a forging instead of using casting tends to wear out cutting tools faster, but that results in a better finished product, which demands a higher price. Carving a receiver from a forged part demands skilled craftsmen and accurate tools.
From top quality materials to cutting edge machinery and dozens of master craftsman it's easy to understand why these Nighthawk Custom pistols are so sought after.
Nighthawk has grown from its roots, back at Wilson Combat located nearby, to an innovative company with a strong reputation for quality dependability and good customer service.
After talking with the people at Nighthawk Custom and hearing how the company has grown over the last nine years ago employee dozens of U.S. workers using U.S. made tools U.S. made firearms that will be shipped with U.S. carriers and mostly U.S. end users.. Really puts things in perspective
In addition to 1911 pistols, Nighthawk Custom also offers tactical shotguns, rifles, holsters, parts and other gear
After meeting the people behind Nighthawk and learning about the detail put into each part of each firearm think you will agree, their reputation is well deserved.
We hope you will enjoy this behind the scenes look at Nighthawk Custom

AA-12 Full Auto 12g Shotgun
AA-12, Automatic 12-gauge Shotgun, has a long an interesting 40+ year history
Starting back in 1972 when Maxwell Atchisson created the Atchisson Assault Shotgun
Atchisson Assault Shotgun
2 3/4" Magnum
5-shot box magazine
Blowback, Open Bolt
11.46 lbs (5.2 kg) empty
14.32 lbs (6.5 kg) with loaded 20-shot drum
It was never perfected, then in 1987 Max sold the rights and designs for his AA-12 to Jerry Baber (Military Police Systems, Inc)
Auto Assault-12
2 3/4" Magnum
3" Shells
300 rounds per minute
Five 12-gauge shotgun shells per second
8 box magazine
20-shot or 32-shot drum magazine
open bolt, gas-operated with a locked breech
10.49 lbs (4.76 kg) empty
13.35 lbs (6.06 kg) with loaded 20-shot drum
In the early 1990's Boje Cornils was hired on to improve the design and set up the tooling to produce the AA-12
188 Changes & Improvements
We had the opportunity to meet and interview Jerry and Boje to get first hand information on the development and operation of this unique and popular automatic shotgun
Slowly, more of the AA-12 are being made, but because newly built machine guns are not transferable to most of us according to the Hughes Amendment of the 1986 Gun Owners Protection act, and only government and police agencies can buy these, the market is not very large, and most sales are exports to other governments
A semi-automatic version of the AA-12 would undoubtedly be considered "non-sporting" by the ATF and therefore regulated as a "Title II" Destructive Device with extra paperwork and a tax stamp
Thanks to Jerry, Dotti and Boje
