OEM Optic Mount Manufacturing for Firearm Companies

Homestead Defense is a U.S.-based CNC manufacturer specializing in red-dot, scope, and LPVO optic mounts for firearms companies, firearm accessory brands, and shooting industry manufacturers. We produce American-made billet mounts designed for durability, repeatability, and consistent zero retention.

Whether you need RMR plates, ACRO mounts, scope rings, offset red-dot mounts, Picatinny rails, micro-dot adapters, or custom optic interfaces, we provide small-batch and medium-batch OEM manufacturing with rapid communication and tight process control.

As an 07 FFL Manufacturer with an 02 SOT, we’re fully equipped to support firearm accessory companies at any level — from prototype development to full production runs.

At Homestead Defense, you communicate directly with the machinist building your product. No layers of middle management, no corporate delays — just fast, accurate CNC machining done right.
