Introducing Marty, the Lead Gunsmith at Watchtower Defense, an Army combat veteran whose experience, craftsmanship, and commitment to excellence shape every firearm manufactured at our facility.
In this interview, Marty shares his journey, his perspective on gunsmithing, and what it takes to pursue a higher standard of quality in the firearms industry. From lessons learned through military service to the attention to detail required at the bench, Marty gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the mindset and craftsmanship that go into his work.
New guns doesn`t necessarily mean more innovation.
Vaelon was built with a different question in mind:
What could we do differently?
The answer seemed simple: bring more control, to our systems, QC processes, every aspect of the design, and ultimately to the shooter.
The firearm depicted is a prototype model; The Vaelon is still in development but will be hitting dealers soon. Stay tuned.
Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the men and women who ran toward danger to protect others.
Remember them. Honor them. Never forget.
