It provides an in-depth breakdown of the top 30 firearm manufacturers overall, as well as a number of detailed charts categorizing the leading manufacturers by pistols, rifles, revolvers and shotguns.

“Our goal is to provide the firearm industry with the most accurate and detailed information available,” said Leland Nichols, chief strategy and business development officer at Orchid. “By analyzing the ATF's data and presenting it in an accessible format, we aim to help manufacturers and FFLs stay informed and competitive.”
