Houlding Precision Firearms, a name only few people have heard, is ready to go national with their high-end AR-15 rifles and rifle components, and will be attending this year’s SHOT Show to show off their premium wares.

Headquartered in Madera, Cali., Houlding manufactures their own in-house receivers based on their experience with the AR platform, namely fixing them. Starting with a billet of 7075 T6 aluminum and machining it down, Houlding makes chunky receiver with a lot of extra material, particularly around the buffer tube extension and magazine well, which is internally flared for fast reloads. It also has an integrated oversize trigger guard.

The end results are unique-looking and definitely overbuilt receivers that Houlding says are made to the tightest tolerances in the industry, which is something we’ll have to see and find out for ourselves. From the photos, though, we have to admit, Houlding’s goods look pretty sexy.
