In 1995, Dr. Roland Christensen created a company that was the basis of his Doctoral thesis, Christensen Arms. Christensen Arms is located in Roland's hometown of Fayette, Utah, nestled in the mountains of Central Utah. For the past fifteen years, Christensen Arms has been manufacturing carbon barrel rifles that have taken the industry by storm. Over the last ten years, by example and testing, carbon barreled rifles have proven to have every advantage over steel barrels. It is because of these advantages, that rifle enthusiasts around the world are making Christensen Arms rifles the most sought after custom gun on the market.
