Who Is Armscor?
Armscor — short for the Arms Corporation of the Philippines — traces its roots to 1952 and has grown into one of the largest firearms and ammunition manufacturers in Southeast Asia. Stateside, most shooters know the company through Rock Island Armory, its pistol brand and one of the highest-volume 1911 makers in the world — affordable, no-nonsense government-pattern pistols that put a forged 1911 within reach of a working budget. The other half of the business is ammunition: Armscor USA loads and distributes a broad line of pistol and rifle cartridges, with U.S. operations supporting the American market. The reputation is consistent across both sides of the house — honest, functional gear at a price that undercuts the premium names without cutting the corners that matter.
The Ammunition We Carry
The Armscor USA 9mm Subsonic 147gr FMJ is the standout for suppressor owners — a heavy 147-grain bullet loaded to roughly 950 fps, which keeps it under the sound barrier so it runs quiet through a can on a pistol or a PCC. It comes 50 to a box in brass cases, and it slots straight into our suppressor-ready handgun ammo (and the broader handgun ammo selection). For rifles, the 7.62x51 M80 NATO is a 147-grain FMJ at about 2,670 fps in reloadable brass — a clean, true-to-spec battle-rifle and .308 training load, 20 rounds per box. And the Armscor USA .30 Carbine 110gr FMJ is exactly what the M1 Carbine crowd is hunting for — brass-cased, Boxer-primed, 1,965 fps, 50 to a box, and a far easier find than most .30 Carbine on the shelf.
