One Horse: American-Made AR-15 Parts

Table of Contents
One Horse is the kind of brand we pay attention to because they keep the focus where it belongs—on rifles and parts that run consistently, not just products that look good on a product page. If you’ve built or upgraded an AR long enough, you’ve seen the pattern: plenty of companies promise “duty-grade,” but only a few actually deliver consistency, accountability, and real-world reliability. That’s exactly why we’re bringing One Horse to Black Rifle Depot—and the first batch of parts is already ordered and on the way.
In this post, I’ll cover who they are, what they offer, and what makes their approach different, so you can decide where they belong in your next build. Whether you’re shopping for the best AR-15 parts, comparing AR-15 accessories, or looking for cool AR-15 upgrades that make your rifle more dependable (not more complicated), this overview will help you make a confident call.
Who One Horse Is and What They Stand For
One Horse positions themselves around a simple idea: the rifle you carry should be as dependable as the person behind it. They built the company to “cut through the noise,” reject corner-cutting, and deliver rifles and components made in the U.S. with a focus on integrity, precision, and discipline.
That message matters because the AR market can get weird fast. Parts flood in from everywhere. Specs drift. Materials vary. Quality control becomes “good enough” until it isn’t. When a newer company comes out swinging with a clear standard—no shortcuts, no excuses—it tells us they’re trying to compete on something that actually helps shooters: repeatable reliability.
One Horse was founded by U.S. Army veteran Jeremy Hammons, who describes over a decade of firearms industry experience and a mission to build rifles that hardworking Americans can trust every day. That origin story doesn’t guarantee quality on its own—but it usually correlates with a culture that values process, inspection, and accountability over hype.
What One Horse Offers
Eve, as a newer brand, isn’t trying to be everything to everyone. Instead, the focus stays on a practical lineup for builders and shooters who want dependable rifles and components—without mystery specs or guesswork.
Complete rifles
They offer complete rifles built around a reliability-first mindset. The emphasis remains consistent: durability, American manufacturing, and rifles designed to withstand real-world use.
This is a strong fit for:
- Shooters who want a ready-to-run rifle without piecing together a full build
- Buyers looking for a straightforward platform for training, range time, and general-purpose use
- Anyone who values consistency and wants to avoid “lottery luck” with build quality
Core AR components and parts
They also sell the foundational components that matter most to both first-time builders and experienced tinkerers—the parts that form the backbone of a reliable rifle. Their lineup highlights rifles and parts as the main categories, with featured items like a mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver, complete lowers, and an M16-style bolt carrier group for 5.56 and .300 Blackout.
That mix says a lot: they’re not only aiming at complete rifle buyers. They’re supporting builders too—the people who like to spec a rifle exactly how they want it, whether that’s a clean general-purpose setup or a purpose-built configuration.
Suppressors and merchandise
They also list suppressors and branded merchandise as part of the broader offering. While those aren’t the main focus of what we’re bringing to BRD, they show they’re building a complete identity around practical use—not just a couple of one-off products.
What Makes One Horse Different (and Why That Matters to Builders)
Plenty of companies can machine parts. Far fewer deliver the details that actually keep rifles running: tight tolerances, proven materials, consistent assembly, and testing that goes beyond a quick glance. One Horse frames craftsmanship as a standard—not a slogan—pairing precision machining with hands-on assembly from experienced American builders.
They also treat inspection and reliability as non-negotiables, positioning their process as the opposite of mass-produced “good enough.” Here’s why that matters in plain terms:
Consistency makes “mix-and-match” builds safer
Most builders don’t buy everything from one manufacturer. Mixing a barrel from one brand with a BCG from another and a different handguard is normal. The problem arises when specs drift and tolerance stacking kicks in—small mismatches that can turn into real reliability issues.
When a company treats machining and QC as disciplines, you typically get fewer fitment surprises and fewer “why is this acting weird?” range days.
Reliability saves you money long-term
Cheap parts often cost more in the long run. Malfunctions, accelerated wear, and premature replacements add up fast—especially when an “upgrade” introduces new failure points. Shooters chasing cool AR-15 upgrades learn this the hard way: the part that looks great on the bench can be the one that causes the next problem.
One Horse speaks directly against that trap by emphasizing dependable tools and rejecting corner-cutting.
American-made matters when it’s backed by sourcing discipline
“Made in USA” can be a buzzword—unless a brand builds real sourcing and manufacturing discipline around it. One Horse repeatedly states that they build 100% American-made rifles and parts, and that domestic production is part of their mission. For many BRD customers, that matters because it helps reduce variability while supporting U.S. manufacturing.
Why Black Rifle Depot Is Carrying One Horse
We’re carrying One Horse for three practical reasons—reasons that matter when you’re putting real money into a rifle you expect to run every time you press the trigger.
1) They match the “build it right” mindset
Their identity centers on no shortcuts and no excuses—just rifles and components built for dependable performance. That lines up with how we look at the best AR-15 parts: a part should solve a problem, improve reliability, or increase consistency. It shouldn’t introduce new variables.
2) They support both complete-rifle buyers and builders
Some customers want a rifle that’s ready to go right out of the box. Others prefer to build in stages and upgrade over time. They support both approaches with complete rifles and core components, giving customers options without forcing them down one path.
That flexibility matters at BRD because our customers range from first-time owners to experienced builders who already know exactly what they like in a setup.
3) Their culture fits what serious shooters value
They highlight the brand’s veteran roots and position it for hardworking Americans who care about reliability and accountability. We prioritize brands that take responsibility seriously, because when something does go wrong, responsive support and consistent standards make all the difference.
What This Means for Your Next Build or Upgrade
If you’re deciding whether One Horse fits your next purchase, here’s the simplest way to think about it:
- If you want a complete rifle built around a reliability-first approach, One Horse aims directly at that lane.
- If you’re building and you want core parts from a brand that talks openly about standards and rejecting corner-cutting, One Horse belongs on your radar.
- If you’re hunting for AR-15 accessories and cool AR-15 upgrades, One Horse looks best when you treat “upgrade” as “more dependable” rather than “more complicated.”
In other words: One Horse doesn’t try to sell you a fantasy. They sell the idea that a rifle should work—every time—because you built it to work.
