Up until yesterday, if you visited the social media pages of US PALM you would find out that the latest post was made in August 2017 and it was announcing that the company is going out of the business (read the TFB article covering that news). To a great surprise of the firearms industry, the company is probably making a comeback. This statement is an assumption based on the post made by the company yesterday on their Facebook page. That post consists of a single image depicting a zombie rising from its grave that has a tombstone with the company’s logo and the years of its operation.

That picture is the only information/hint known so far. The company’s website is still down and there is literally nothing else known about their plans. I think if they do resume the operations, it will be great news especially for the AK community because the main weapon system that the company was developing products for was the AK platform. For example, the AK grips that they used to make, currently have a high demand and ever since the company closed its doors, the prices of these grips raised and they have become highly desirable items among AK builders and enthusiasts. Hopefully, the company not only will resume making their products but will also introduce their improved versions.

During its lifespan, the US PALM (US Primary Armament Logistical Manufacturing) has passed several dramatic changes. It was founded in 2009 by Robert Anderson. Five years later, in 2014, Anderson purchased the US PALM from its holding company SBC Global Industries. Three years later, in 2017, the company went out of business.

We’ll be following the developments concerning the company’s possible revival and will report the news to our readers. Stay tuned!
