All firearms ›Watchtower Defense products are built for serious use, long-term ownership, and confidence in the field. We stand behind the workmanship of every Watchtower Defense-manufactured product with a Transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty against qualifying defects in materials and workmanship.
This warranty follows the product, not just the first owner. That means when a Watchtower Defense product is lawfully transferred, the warranty may transfer with it, subject to the full terms, conditions, and documentation requirements.
Our commitment is simple: if a covered Watchtower Defense product has a qualifying defect during its useful service life, we will repair it or replace it in accordance with this warranty. Normal wear, misuse, unauthorized modifications, non-spec ammunition, and other excluded conditions are not covered, but our goal is to make the warranty process clear, fair, and straightforward.
The full terms explain what is covered, what is not covered, how to request service, and what rights you may have under federal and state law. Please read them carefully and keep this document with your product records.
Watchtower Defense builds products to last. This warranty is one more way we stand behind that promise.
Watchtower Defense is pleased to honor the limited lifetime warranty originally issued on firearms manufactured under the Watchtower Firearms name. Please note that Watchtower Defense and Watchtower Firearms are separate and distinct companies, and Watchtower Defense's willingness to support these legacy products is offered as a courtesy to our customers.
Because certain parts, finishes, and components used in original Watchtower Firearms production are no longer available, and because those models have since been discontinued, Watchtower Defense cannot guarantee that every Watchtower Firearms product can be repaired or replaced in its original, as-manufactured condition. Where exact parts or finishes are unavailable, Watchtower Defense will make reasonable efforts to repair or replace the item using the closest current equivalent, and will work with the customer to identify the best available resolution, which may include a comparable replacement, updated components, or another remedy at Watchtower Defense's discretion.

To all the veterans on our team and beyond, thank you for your service! 🇺🇸

Build the foundation.
Curtis shares the experiences and influences that helped shape his journey, from his time serving in the Army to the firearms and the inspiration he found in his grandfather’s guns.
From our new facility to our manufacturing processes and commitment to quality, Curtis talks about what it means to build a strong foundation from the ground up—and why the people behind the products matter just as much as the products themselves.
Get to know Curtis, hear his story, and take a look inside the team working to define the next chapter of Watchtower Defense.
