FX Airguns US Distributor Changes Again
Well it’s happened! After being rumored around the industry for some days, it has just been announced that the FX Airguns US distributor changes again…
As is well known, Airguns of Arizona was the original FX Airguns US distributor. Indeed, that was the case for many, many years. Then – in 2017 – AoA was replaced by a new distributor FX Airguns USA.
However, by October 2023, things were obviously not going well.
On October 3, 2023, a law suit was filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, State of North Carolina, County of Wake. Case Number 2023CVS27939. In it, the plaintiff requests that a general receiver be appointed for FX Airguns USA, to take control of the company.
This is public record. We can all read it here: https://ncbc.nccourts.org/public/ You’ll need to type “FX” in the search box to find the case. You can also read that this court case has been rumbling-on and is still not completely concluded – even in February 2026!
By July 2024, the official US distributor for FX Airguns and Element Optics scopes was changed to Marksman Distribution, of Orem UT.
Now – just 19 months later – the FX Airguns US distributor changes again! I assume that also applies to Element Optics products, too. Marksman Distribution has been responsible – among other things – for warranty repairs and support for FX airguns and Element Optics products in the US market.
It seems that FX Airguns is setting-up a new US headquarters – again. Below is the official announcement from FX Airguns:
FXairguns is excited to announce that we are establishing new U.S. headquarters, marking a significant step forward in our long term commitment to the American market.
The United States is one of our most important markets, and having a direct presence here allows us to be closer to our valued customers: listening, learning, and responding with intention. While FX Airguns will continue to be designed and manufactured in Sweden, where our heritage of engineering excellence and precision craftsmanship defines everything we create, this move reinforces our dedication to continued innovation and to creating not only the finest airguns in the world, but products designed with purpose and precision.
As part of this expansion, FX Airguns will be working directly with our authorized dealers, collaborating closely to support their growth and ensure their continued success. We are also building a state of the art Official FX Service Center in the U.S. to better serve our customers. Our philosophy is simple: the level of service should match the experience of owning an FX product, from first shot through long term ownership.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Marksman Distribution and Utah Airguns, our longstanding partner and trusted friends, for the outstanding work they have done while we have been operating behind the scenes during this period of restructuring. Through their dedication, expertise, and passion for the sport, Utah Airguns has played a significant role in elevating the FX brand in the United States, expanding the FX community, setting a high standard for service, and sharing an exceptional level of product knowledge with customers. They will continue to be a premier FX partner and dealer as we move forward together.
For additional information or general inquiries, customers, dealers, and partners are invited to contact us at hello@fxairguns.com.
This new chapter represents more than expansion, it reflects our commitment to our global markets, our respect for our customers and dealers, and our dedication to setting a new standard for performance, service, and partnership in the airgun industry.
