Republic Forge, a Perryton, Texas-based manufacturer of 1911s in various configurations has recently announced that the company has transferred ownership to an undisclosed private equity group. Along with the transfer of ownership, Republic Forge is also moving to the great state of New Mexico, specifically to the city of Los Ranchos. The company’s Master Gunsmith, Jeff Meister, is moving with the company along with all of the assets, and manufacturing equipment.
