About HGW

HGW is a family Owned Company and operated by Army Veterans.

After Leaving the Army in 1986, I worked for a Large Gun Store in Indianapolis, moving up to Manager at one of it's four locations.

Hoosier Gun Works (HGW) started part time in 1989, Doing Local Gun Shows with a few boxes of Gun Parts. In 1992 We started working for ourselves out of a one car Garage, In Indy. Going from those boxes of spare parts , we slowly adding more items as time went by, until we got to 10 tables full of goodies. as we call em. And adding a 10 x 20 storage shed.

In 1999 HGW added a web page on the internet. Our business really took off after making this move, with inquires flowing in from all over USA. In late 1999 we bought out a Distributor and ran of room again. And stored some stuff at a local storage facility.
We had to stop our own Gun Smiting operation, to expand our Parts business.

In 2003 the City of Indianapolis and BATF decided We had gotten to big to be a home based business, and asked for our Licenses. That was during the Clinton era when the BATF was downsizing FFL's.

So in 2004 we made the decision to move to South Central Kentucky, outside the small town of Park City, KY. ( near Mammoth Cave National Park !! ). Near to my Wife's folks. Wide open spaces and friendlier Local Government.

We really have grown .HGW has expanded it parts operations. We can now boast of having over 200,000+ parts, 1,000+ stocks, 200 +barrels and over 4,000+ original and hard to find factory magazines.

YES we Kept the "Hoosier Gun Works" Name ! Hard to change after 30 plus years..

HGW specializes in Gun Parts, Gun Stocks, Barrels and Magazines, but also deals in close-out and over-stocked goods. Many items are in limited supply and can not be restocked.

HGW supplies many Gunsmiths, Gun Shops, amd even a few Distributors and even some Manufacturers in the Midwest and across the Country with Parts, Gun Stocks and other Merchandise.

Moved

In 2004 we made the decision to move, our Company. The Company got too big for its britches, and City of Indy wanted us out.. In September 2004 we moved to better and bigger digs. Moved 200 miles south, to Park City, Kentucky. Reconsolidating and getting back to the better half's family..

The Move is done to Park City, Kentucky. We inventoried prior to moving in 2004 and still can't find some of it. In March 2007, HGW purchased the property adjacent, a bigger building 40'x 50' and now can re-sort stuff we lost track of years ago.

With bigger area to work from we look forward to do more things we wanted to do earlier, manufacturing some parts. And...We even have a small Retail store space. But... still looking for some stuff from the move 20 years ago ????.

HGW is a Family owned Company, run by US Army Veterans..

HGW does not export outside of the United States. Export restrictions are too numerous to deal with. (Canada included)

HGW no longer offers Gunsmithing services..
