Volquartsen Firearms raised its corporate partnership with the Second Amendment Foundation to Gold after a renewal, the foundation reported from Bellevue, Wash., on Oct. 26, 2026. The Carroll, Iowa, company has produced rimfire rifles, pistols and parts in America since 1974 as a family business in its second generation. Volquartsen also gave a distinctive rifle for the foundation monthly sweepstakes fundraiser and has backed the Gun Rights Policy Conference for several years. Foundation leader Adam Kraut cited the support as Supreme Court oral arguments approach in two cases on assault weapons bans.
