Genesis Arms began as most companies do: from a vision for something great. A void was discovered, which put into motion a mission to fill that void. The word “Genesis” means “origins, creation, and beginning.”  We are proud to be the first firearms company to successfully design, patent, and manufacture a 12 gauge utilizing the AR308 DPMS GEN1 receiver design. Our patented magazine design overcomes the shortcomings within the current commercial offerings of 12 gauge magazines. These are the core components that make Genesis Arms the leader of shot shell innovation and the manufacturer of the GEN-12: THE ULTIMATE 12 GAUGE. Genesis Arms is the winner of the 2024 Gundies Most Innovative Brand of the Year award.
