Oberland Arms was founded in 1998 as a small company with a retail shop in Habach, Upper Bavaria. In 2000, they introduced the first OA-15 rifle, and in 2001 they started with the production of the first receivers in Germany. Today they are one of the leading manufacturers of semi-automatic rifles with the Made in Germany quality mark in Europe, a solid reputation for precision and reliability: the result of years spent pursuing excellence in compliance with MIL-Spec standards, using only first-rate components, almost all of which are made in-house and in the few other cases sourced from partners of unquestionable reliability, such as the Lothar Walther Match barrels. In addition, Oberland firearms have a high degree of specialisation, which has resulted in them being chosen by numerous military units and LE agencies around the world for high-profile deployments. Since 2019, throught the company's in-house OA Custom Shop, Oberland also offers the possibility of requesting exclusive designs, modifications and customizations.
The opening of the Oberland flagship store
28 June 2025 marked another milestone in this exceptional journey of reliability, passion and enthusiasm, with the opening of the brand's first flagship store in the centre of Klagenfurt, Austria. To define it as a shop is reductive: what Matthias Hainich, CEO of Oberland Arms, wanted to create is a boutique that is the dream of any gun enthusiast; a welcoming place, tastefully furnished and characterised by ample display spaces, where the lion's share obviously belongs to the Bavarian brand's rifles, but where one can find much more, from the numerous official accessories to third party brand products, selected with the highest quality in mind. Thus, inside the OA flagship store in addition to the company's own products and those signed by the in-house Custom Shop, you can find AGX Textile clothing, customised Glock and Walther pistols, Triggertech triggers, ballistic protections from Protection Group Denmark, Gatorz glasses and Laco watches.
The next event for enthusiasts will be on 12-13 July in Germany, in Huglfing, at the company's factory, which will once again host the Oberland Convention, an in-house trade fair now in its fourth year which will also be attended by selected external exhibitors related to the gun sector by invitation.
