Bolt Action — Manufactured By Us
Every Helanbak Arms rifle is built in Columbia, MS.
How It's Made
Cut, Marked, Finished
From Raw Stock
Every part starts as solid bar stock. Our CNC machines cut receivers, actions, and components straight from raw material, to spec, on our own floor.
Marked and Proofed
Once machined, parts are marked and proofed right here in Columbia, Mississippi. Nothing carrying the Helanbak name leaves this building without passing through our own hands first.
Finished In-House
Finishing and assembly happen under the same roof as the machining. From raw bar to finished part, the work never leaves the building.
“Our state-of-the-art CNC machines manufacture parts to any specification you need. We are up for the challenge.”
Who Is Helanbak?
We've Been to Hell
and Back.
Helanbak is a take on the slang term that comes from water well drillers: we've been to hell and back.
We got our start in water well drilling and are part of the Helanbak Family of Companies. We are shooters too, and things inevitably led to wanting to make something of our own — so we did. That's the Helanbak way.
Founded in 2014 in Columbia, Mississippi, we're a precision machining and firearms manufacturing company with over 30 years of machining and CAD/CAM experience. We are committed to taking on any challenge to deliver exceptional results for our customers.
Mississippi Made. Together We Win.
