By Philip Smith – President National African American Gun Association.
USA –-(Ammoland.com)- I ran across a Company called “Civilian Force Arms” they are an African American owned “Gun Manufacturer” in the United States.
Yes right here in the USA and they are thriving. The company was founded by Yonas Hagos who is a USA Army Veteran and Purple Heart recipient.
The company is delivering a World Class AR-15 platform that is dependable and performs at a quite a high level.
Yonas Hagos, a child refugee from Sudan, has always dedicated his life to serving his country and others.
After being wounded by a rocket propelled grenade in Iraq during the height of the war in 2004, Yonas became an avid community volunteer and entrepreneur.
Volunteering as a Mission Continues Fellow, he along with other post 9/11 Veterans dedicated their time and energy to rebuilding communities across the nation.
Soon he turned his drive to serve into business, launching three successful businesses helping to employ fellow Americans.
Now he is focusing on what he does best, designing and building custom AR-15s. Yonas prides himself on producing weapons that are American Made, Built To Survive.™
This is a solid Veteran owned organization that the NAAG community needs to support “Nationwide” and buy products from. They are based in Illinois.

I have seen numerous You Tube videos by different reviewers and all and I repeat, ALL have given these rifles rave reviews! So I would love to get one of the” Hagos” model rifles! One day! As far as all this going back and forth over hyphens and such, I am so sick and tired of all the arguing!!! Damn it people we are all Americans!!! who cares what your color or ethnicity. What are you doing ? How do you treat people? Are you productive member of society? That’s what matters. I am no bleeding heart liberal, but this… Read more »
Sooooo tempted to chime in…. but no…. I won’t.
Great vet, business owner, business and gun.
We need more AFRICAN AMERICAN, BLACK, whatever we choose to call OURSELVES in the gun/shooting industry. Far too often the media and Internet trolls lead you to believe we are not here and here in a responsible way but we are. Comments like those above are why I’ve chosen to build my next AR versus give my money to support someone who doesn’t support me. Maybe I’ll purchase a CFA after my builds.
If it’s American-made, decent quality and price point, I’ll give it a chance. I’ll even lean towards it more because he’s a decorated vet. If his pigmentation and message helps break the stupid wall and introduced more black Americans to firearms in a responsible way (as opposed to the Hollywood way), then that’s great. Just like Colin Noir, this guy has a foot in the door into that demographic. I support that.
Heck – I’ll even offer this as his potential advertising tagline – “Genuine black rifles.” 😉
We’re talking about everything except the product this man is offering.
I’ve served in the Marine Corps and the Army Reserves for almost 30 years and retired from civil service after 30 years. I agree we should stop using hyphenated words/countries to tell who we are. We are all Americans! I hunt, fish, target shoot, build ARs, hike, camp, ride ATVs and pay my taxes like all good American citizens. Do I have to label what race I am? I’m an American period! Somebody needs to recommend the race blocks be taken off job applications. Actually, why not take it off of all applications? Doesn’t your SSN identify you enough? I’m… Read more »
