Navy Arms

Overview

Navy Arms Company was an American importer of replica and historically accurate firearms founded in 1957 in Ridgefield, New Jersey by Val Forgett. Navy Arms pioneered the importation of Italian-made Colt, Winchester, and blackpowder replicas to the US market, creating the replica firearms industry. They imported revolvers from Uberti, rifles from Pedersoli and others, and were the primary US distributor for blackpowder replicas for decades. Navy Arms helped fuel the Civil War reenactment and Western cowboy shooting boom. The company closed around 2011.

Also recorded as Navy Arms Company, Val Forgett Navy Arms.
