Corporate Identity & Global Operations
What is Balıklı Arms’ position in the global defense industry and its manufacturing distinction?
Founded in 2004 in Üzümlü, Konya—the heart of Turkish firearms craftsmanship—Balıklı Arms is more than a manufacturer; it is a technology developer. What sets us apart is our status as Türkiye’s sole producer of .300 caliber rifles and our forged steel engineering in the 1911 pistol series. Following our motto "Control Beyond Microns," we machine every component to aerospace standards and export high-performance firearms to over 30 countries.
How do international distribution and individual purchase processes work?
Balıklı Arms products reach end-users through authorized distributors across a wide geography, from the USA to Europe. To locate a distributor in your region or to become an authorized dealer, please use our corporate communication channels. For institutional and bulk purchases, our export department provides full support regarding customs clearance and international logistics protocols.
Technical Manufacturing & Engineering Specifications
What advanced technologies and quality control systems are utilized in your production line?
Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art 5-axis CNC machining centers that provide micron-level precision. This technology allows for the flawless machining of critical components like slides, frames, and barrels in a single operation, eliminating human error. Every part is inspected using Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM). Additionally, heat treatment processes that strengthen the metallic molecular structure and world-renowned Cerakote™ coating technologies are applied in-house.
What do Sub-MOA accuracy and ballistic performance mean for your rifles?
For a rifle to have Sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy means it can place a shot within a 1-inch area at 100 yards. At Balıklı Arms, we guarantee this world standard in our rifles through our precision rifling technology and specialized alloy barrel steels. Even with high-energy ammunition like the .300 caliber, we develop ballistic engineering solutions that maintain maximum grouping stability while preserving barrel life.
Safety, Standards & Ballistic Testing
How do your products comply with international CIP and SAAMI safety standards?
Firearm safety is the highest priority at Balıklı Arms. Every firearm that leaves our assembly line is manufactured in full compliance with CIP and SAAMI international ballistic and pressure standards. During this process, each firearm undergoes "Proof Testing" using high-pressure loads. No product leaves our factory until its structural integrity is verified through pressures significantly higher than standard ammunition.
What are the mechanical lifespan and durability criteria of your firearms?
The lifespan of our firearms is determined by material quality and precision machining. Specifically, the forged steel components used in our 1911 series possess significantly higher fatigue resistance and mechanical life compared to cast parts. Rigorous endurance tests involving thousands of rounds and performance trials in the harshest environments (dust, mud, extreme temperatures) ensure that Balıklı Arms remains the primary choice for professional operators.
After-Sales Support & User Guidance
What is the scope of warranty, spare parts supply, and technical service?
Every Balıklı Arms product is under corporate warranty against manufacturing defects. No matter where you are in the world, you can receive rapid support for original spare parts and technical maintenance via teknik@balikli-silah.com. Our extensive inventory of every single screw for every model ensures your firearm always remains duty-ready.
How should firearm cleaning and storage be performed for optimum performance?
Cleaning after every shooting session is vital to protect the precision mechanisms and the rifling inside the barrel. To extend barrel life, high-quality cleaning kits and protective lubricants should be used. Storing your firearm in low-humidity environments and applying specialized protective coatings for long-term storage will prevent corrosion and maintain the metallurgical integrity of the weapon.
