About EABCO

Precision. Passion. Legacy.

What began as a small in-home startup has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise with a 40+ year legacy in the hunting and shooting industry. At E. Arthur Brown Company (EABCO), accuracy isn’t just a product feature - it’s a way of life.

Our Origin Story

Eben and Jill Brown launched EABCO with a spark of entrepreneurial spirit and a shared vision. Starting with computer parts in the early days, Eben’s passion for shooting sports and reloading led him to IHMSA Silhouette competitions - and ultimately to the firearms industry.

In a bold move, he acquired the rights to BF Arms pistols and, with Jill by his side, pivoted the business toward precision shooting. Their faith and favorite verse, “Commit your plans to the Lord, and He will make your path straight” (Proverbs 16:3), became the guiding principle behind every decision.

Accuracy That Wins

By the late '90s, EABCO pistols were dominating international competitions. In 2001, eight of the top ten IHMSA World Championship shooters were using EABCO-built pistols.

To meet growing demand, Eben brought on Royce - now VP of Production and together they developed the 97D Rifle, a hand-crafted marvel built on the BF falling block frame. The 97D became a benchmark for accuracy and craftsmanship.

Growth and Innovation

In 1999, EABCO became a corporation with over 150 investors. The company moved into a larger facility in 2008, expanding production and capabilities. That same year, Eben and Jill’s daughter Emily rejoined the team, bringing her business and economics expertise to investor relations, marketing, and digital strategy.

EABCO’s product lines grew to include barrels for TC Encore Pro Hunter, TC Contender G2, Savage, Remington, AR15, Ruger 10/22, and CZ457. We also manufacture premium scope bases, locking bolts, barrel nuts, and always looking to partner with top brands to offer a large selection of parts for serious shooters.

A Family Business at Heart

Though we've grown, our culture remains rooted in family values. Eben and Jill fostered a workplace built on respect, trust, and collaboration - often referring to their team of seasoned professionals as “the kids.” That spirit lives on today.

In 2022, Eben transitioned to Chairman of the Board, and Emily was named President. Under her leadership, EABCO continues to expand while preserving the small-business feel that makes our team and our customer relationships so special.
