The uncertain future of the French weapons manufacturer

Founded in 1820 in Saint-Étienne by Claude Verney, Verney-Carron SA is **the oldest and presently the only French maker of firearms,** including those valued by hunters. As highlighted in the Communication, the company has adequate know-how and capabilities for both plan and manufacture of small-caliber weapons. By the way, it is worth mentioning that Verney-Carron in the 1980s produced components for [5.56 mm FAAMAS carbine](https://defence24.pl/strong-armoured/German-hk416-stapi-we-French-Armia-carabinki-fa-mas).
