The Modern firearms business is tied indelibly to the advent of the assembly line, and to Sameul Colt’s incorporation of the Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Connecticut in 1955. Colt was the first weapons manufacturer to recognize the sea-change brought on by the advancements of the Industrial Revolution. He pioneered the use of interchangeable parts in his products, employing assembly lines to build his revolvers cheaply and efficiently. Colt quickly became one of the world’s foremost proponents of mass production techniques, organizing marketing exhibits wherein he would disassemble ten of his guns and reassemble them using different parts from different guns. The nature of Colt’s assembly-line process meant that he could use unskilled labor to build his weapons, significantly reducing their cost.
To a degree, Samuel Colt’s inventions within the firearms business are responsible for everything that Sarco Inc. has become. The ability to buy Gun Parts Online would never have been possible without Colt’s pioneering work. Today, it’s possible to buy barrels, sears, triggers, magazines, etc., all separately and have them still fit together perfectly.
This may be difficult to visualize in the abstract. But take a specific weapon: the AK-47. An AK-47 is made from sixty-three parts, including, importantly, a long-stroke piston that facilitates the gun’s continued firing. Other AK-47 parts include a sear, barrel, bolt, firing pin, trigger, buttstock, gas block, sling plate, and safety. At Sarco Inc., we sell many of these AK-47 parts. We also sell AK-47 accessories, including ammunition bags.
Sarco Inc. began way back in the 1950s, when Charles “Cholly” Steen III began amassing a huge collection of guns, gun parts, and gun accessories, so many that he had to store everything in the attic of his small Easton, PA, apartment. Steen originally planned on becoming a Machine Gun designer, but when he turned to dealing part-time at gun shows to make a little extra cash, he found his calling. His very first weekend at a gun show he made over $200, which was nothing to sneeze at in the late 50s.
Later on, Sarco expanded into mail-order sales, advertising in a fledgling publication called Firearms News. Today, some sixty years later, Sarco Inc is Firearms News’ longest continually running advertiser, and sales by mail-order make up the bulk of Sarco’s sales volume, with sales to US and foreign governments coming in second.
