About FoldAR
FoldAR is a Veteran owned and operated firearms manufacturer located in Texas, and is the Sole Source for Concealed Carry Rifles. It may be best to think of FoldAR as “SkunkWorks” of the firearms industry, where we proactively develop transformative firearm technology behind the scenes. It’s obvious why FoldAR is Unhinging the Competition.
The FoldAR product line-up is often described as filling a “niche” within the firearms market; but it’s much more than that. In reality, FoldAR is an evolutionary replacement of the successful 70-year-old platform created by Eugene Stoner. Its patented hinge located near the barrel-breach interface of the upper receiver allows the FoldAR product line to stow and conceal like no other firearm. Able to remain fully assembled in its most compact form – and limited in compactness only by the length of its barrel – FoldAR has established its place as the one and only Concealed Carry Rifle. With our Lifetime Warranty and Accuracy Guarantee, FoldAR has evolved the application of firearms in ways never before possible.
Further defining the disruptive nature of the FoldAR product, we anticipate that within another 20 years, non-folding rifles will generally be perceived as antiquated technology because there are neither any functionality, reliability, accuracy, weight, nor safety compromises with the FoldAR folding barrel interface. In fact, each of these areas are improved over non-folding platforms.

Corby Hall
President
Mr. Hall began his career designing AR-platform firearms in 2005 after being approached by LWRC to help design their SABR, originally proposed as a “compact” piston-operated AR10. Upon successful completion of his work, the SABR was renamed REPR and became LWRCI’s flagship product.
East Texas Machining & Manufacturing LLC (ETMM) began in Mr. Hall’s Leander, TX garage with a basic CNC machine in 2009. Between 2009 and 2016, Mr. Hall designed and made high-precision AR’s, including the world’s first long-action AR in 338 Lapua Mag. In 2016, Mr. Hall developed and patented the folding AR10 and AR15 upper (US Patent 9,995,556), and created the FoldAR brand in 2018.
Mr. Hall focuses on the general management of FoldAR’s operations, as well as developing new products and scalable manufacturing strategies for complex components and assemblies. In total, Mr. Hall has 24 years’ experience in complex product design and advanced manufacturing strategies. As an inventor, he has been granted 8 utility patents, bringing 5 to market, with several more in claim-development.

Sgt. Brandon Jordan
Vice President
SGT. Jordan joined FoldAR to direct its facility operations and personnel, and to participate in product development, customer service, marketing, and sales.
As a lifelong enthusiast, and as a technical expert on various weapon systems gained from extensive combat action with 1-10CAV, 2-8INF, and 6-4CAV hunter-killer teams in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, SGT. Jordan brings immense value to FoldAR and its objective to transform the AR-15 market. SGT. Jordan quickly recognized FoldAR’s numerous advantages over traditional non-folding AR-15 platforms, generally in all combat/SOF roles and particularly in tactical/clandestine engagements.
With four beautiful daughters, SGT. Jordan and veteran Army wife SSG. April Jordan are constantly developing new ways to prepare them for a life of independent thinking, confidence, ambition, and respect. As an avid hunter, SGT. Jordan proactively adapts to environments while maintaining weapon superiority at the same time. “Train the way you fight”.
As the son of a pastor, SGT. Jordan was raised as a God-fearing faith-filled man, and to think for himself independently from the world’s noise. During his years in combat, SGT. Jordan leaned on his two favorite scriptures: Psalms 144:1 “Praise be to the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle”, and Isaiah 6:8 “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, who shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, here am I, send me”. SGT. Jordan is an active community-leader where he serves as a volunteer firefighter in The Sprang. He also coaches Dixie league basketball and softball for his local school district. As with his own children, SGT. Jordan teaches all his players respectful “Apex Predator” theory on the court, diamond, and in life.
