Evolution Gun Works Inc. makes parts for nearly all leading U.S. gun makers. EGW President George Smith founded the Quakertown, Pa., company in 1991. A competition shooter, Smith is an expert in the John Browning-designed .45-caliber automatic pistol, dubbed “the 1911” based on the year it was introduced.
The 15-person shop is staffed with gun enthusiasts who enjoy hunting, recreational and competition shooting and restoring firearms.
In addition to being an OEM supplier, EGW manufactures aftermarket gun components, such as mounts for rifles and shotguns, barrels, recoil springs and triggers. Its aftermarket parts can be found in guns used by top competition shooters.
