Welcome to Citizen Arms, where owner Steve Adelmann’s primary focus is to maximize the AR platform’s reliability, accuracy and practicality. Citizen Arms is a North Carolina-based Type 07 FFL & Class II SOT that’s been producing finely-tuned, customized, precision firearms since 2009.
Current services include full builds on customer-provided lower receivers, accurizing/repairing/reconfiguring customer-owned ARs, custom upper receiver assemblies and applying custom finishes. Current lead time for most work is about 2 months, but critical needs, such as servicing of duty firearms for LEOs, can usually be worked in more quickly.
Be sure to check out our “Sale Items” page for occasional deals on new and lightly used (tested) firearms, NFA items and Citizen Arms gear.








All customized firearms and upper builds are fully tuned, accurized and tested for function and accuracy and all work is backed. Services on other semi-auto platforms are offered on a space-available basis.
