who we are

Raised in South Texas, he worked on large machining projects for the railroad, oil and gas companies and many other heavy industry items. From a young age he competed on the Junior Marksmanship Team and continued learning and shooting in competitions for many years.

 

Accuracy and consistency
was always his driving force. Never being fully satisfied with the parts available at the time, he began
machining parts to improve his own shooting. Most notably hand guards and muzzle brakes.


Superior Weapons Systems LLC was originally started in 2001 by Art Gonthier. After becoming a machinist in the Navy from 1970-1974 he continued his craft as a civilian after serving his country.

Over the years SWS has supplied the US Army Marksmanship Program including Delta Force, Civilian Marksmanship Program and several law enforcement agencies with hand guards and muzzle devices.

 

SWS is widely known for their heavy-duty quad rails. Originally built with the intent of being stronger
than what was available at the time. We achieved that as they’re still known today as being one of the
most bombproof rails on the market. Many will always remember them as being picked by John
Noveske back in their pioneer days. John expected perfection from everyone around him and saw that
in our products.

 

Art has been a mentor to me and one of my best friends and we’re proud to be a part of
the industry again. Today we’re starting back up with the same goal in mind. Make bombproof products
for people that expect quality and durability. We’re a small shop currently located in north Houston and
don’t have any intention of changing our original business design.

 

We’re committed to keeping our operation “in house”, on our own terms in the great state of Texas. We’re currently in the design phases of expanding our product line to include matched receiver sets, improved rails, muzzle devices and other items to complement our products and will constantly be pushing for more. We’re holding onto all the aspects that made us great over a decade ago and using it to expand upon. We’re always open to our customers’ needs, if you have a suggestion, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Respectfully, DC
