About
Transformative Firearm Technology
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
Chief Executive Officer
25 years later, and as the One Rifle story began to unfold, Mr. Hall stood outside Columbine High School with his fully configured FoldAR suppressed rifle. And there in that moment, looking towards Rachel Joy Scott’s predestination, he decided to reform FoldAR’s mission: “To put a Concealed Carry Rifle on the back of every well-trained and able school security officer in the nation”. Falsely implicated in the Columbine Massacre of 1999 for a brief moment as a teenager, Mr. Hall unknowingly committed himself to participate in God’s plan of bringing His children back to their territory; a promise made by God to Rachel, the first to fall at Columbine.
As a result, FoldAR currently helps protect over 400,000 students nationwide, a rapidly growing figure.
Prefacing the most unlikely firearms development story, Mr. Hall began his career designing AR-platform firearms in 2006 after being approached by LWRC to help design their SABR, which was originally proposed as a multi-role field-configurable piston-operated AR-10. Although LWRC prematurely abandoned the concept of a multi-role field-configurable weapon system, upon successful completion of Mr. Hall’s work, the SABR was born. It was then renamed as the “REPR”, thereafter becoming LWRC’s flagship product.
FoldAR has its roots starting 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 AR-10 and AR-15 (US Patent 9,995,556), and then created the FoldAR brand in 2018. Now, Mr. Hall focuses on developing new products, expanding FoldAR’s manufacturing capabilities, and pursung the execution of FoldAR’s new mission.
In total, Mr. Hall has 26 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.
Mr. Hall is an honorably discharged US Navy Veteran.

Mrs. Hall joined FoldAR to build and direct its marketing, systems integrations, customer service, quality assurance, human resources, accounting, industry relations and compliance. She now manages the general operations of FoldAR.
Mrs. Hall fashioned her career by taking new businesses to the next level with her management expertise and sales background. Proving a natural ability to identify bottlenecks in existing business structures, she has extensive experience in helping companies break out of “start-up” status.
Prior to joining FoldAR, Mrs. Hall strategically created business models that function well in other industries. Building on her prior success, Mrs. Hall structured an orthodontic company’s business model for under-served markets, leading to a 250% increase in sales within one year. More recently, her prowess was engaged by another orthodontic company, leading to its public acquisition of over $1 Billion.
Mrs. Hall resides in East Texas with her husband and two children, and takes pride in exemplifying hard work, resilience, loyalty, and compassion as the most important driving factors to success. Tenacious and unrelenting, she is a motivator and provides a high level of inspiration to all those around her.
