About FoldAR
FoldAR exists because the traditional rifle failed the moment it was locked away.
For decades, rifles have offered unmatched capability—but at the cost of size, transportability, and time. When seconds matter, retrieving a secured rifle from a vehicle or safe is often unrealistic. The result has been a dangerous gap between what responders carry and what threats demand.
FoldAR was created to close that gap—permanently.
The Problem No One Solved
Modern threats evolve faster than traditional response models. In schools, public spaces, protective details, and covert environments, officers are often limited to a sidearm while a rifle—if available at all—is stored elsewhere.
This reality has been confirmed repeatedly by School Resource Officers, School-Based Law Enforcement, and Federal Agencies:
- A rifle locked away is not a rapid-response tool
- Pistol calibers struggle against modern threats and armor
- Retrieval time costs lives
- Visibility of long guns creates community resistance
The industry attempted workarounds: shorter barrels, folding stocks, PDWs, pistol-caliber carbines. All introduced compromises—accuracy, lethality, reliability, or legality.
FoldAR took a different approach.
Built for Rapid Deployment & Real-World Use
FoldAR is a Texas-based, veteran-owned firearms manufacturer and the sole-source manufacturer of the Concealed Carry Rifle (CCR).
At the core of every FoldAR weapon system is a patented folding barrel interface, engineered at the barrel-breach junction—the only location where a rifle can fold without sacrificing accuracy, safety, or structural integrity while offering objectively beneficial space savings.
The result is the first true no-compromise rifle that can:
- Remain fully assembled
- Fold to under 12-18 inches overall
- Deploy instantly
- Maintain sub-MOA accuracy
- Return to absolute zero after repeated folding
- Accept suppressors, optics, and duty accessories, while still fitting comfortably inside a standard backpack
- Swap barrels and calibers in seconds—without tools
FoldAR is not a shortened rifle.
It's a full-capability rifle that becomes ultra-compact when it needs to.
The Concealed Carry Rifle (CCR)
A Concealed Carry Rifle is defined as a rifle-caliber weapon system that can remain:
- Fully Assembled
- Fully Configured
- Fully concealed in a standard backpack or sling pack
- Carried all day, every day
FoldAR is the only rifle system in existence that meets this definition, and does so without compromise.
That distinction matters.
A CCR allows officers to carry their most effective tool on their person, rather than retrieving it after the threat has already unfolded. It remains concealed, unobtrusive, and socially acceptable—yet instantly deployable.
This capability has fundamentally changed how school security and public-space protection is approached nationwide.
Proven Where It Matters
Since its commercial launch in 2018:
-10,000+ FoldAR units shipped
-160+ Law Enforcement agencies equipped
-700,000+ students protected
-Zero safety incidents
-Lifetime Warranty maintained
-Sub-MOA accuracy guaranteed
-Return-to-Zero guaranteed
FoldAR rifles are currently deployed by school districts, police departments, and government end-users across the United States and internationally.
One Rifle. Unlimited Configurations.
FoldAR is also the first true “One Rifle” weapon system.
With minimal proprietary components and a robust, patented interface, a single FoldAR can be configured in the field for:
-Multiple barrel lengths
-Multiple calibers (5.56, .300 BLK, 7.62×39, and more)
-Fixed-barrel or folding-barrel operation
-Suppressed or unsuppressed roles
-CQB, patrol, or precision applications
This modularity introduces zero performance penalties—a claim validated through both operational use and competitive shooting.
In 2025, FoldAR technology secured first place overall in the Sig Sauer Relentless Warriors national 3-gun competition, demonstrating that compactness and performance are no longer mutually exclusive.
