HOP Armament

HOP Armament opened September 2023 in a renovated Ashland storefront as part of the HOP Munitions family—a company that started in 2020 with a simple mission: provide meaningful employment for combat veterans in the firearms industry. That mission has expanded, but the core principle remains: hire people who've served, treat customers like family.

Firearms & Ammunition - Pistols, revolvers, shotguns, and rifles in stock - HOP Munitions ammunition (including poly practice rounds) - Custom sourcing if they don't have what you need

Custom Services - Custom AR-15 builds - Gunsmithing (repairs, restorations, modifications) - Cerakote finishing - Hydro-dipping - Custom engraving - Firearm appraisals

Retail - HOP Merch - Custom holsters - Whispers of Honor custom pens

"As a current police officer and United States Marine Veteran, they have everything I need. The staff comes from a wide variety of backgrounds, including law enforcement and prior military service. If for some reason they do not have what you are looking for, they will get it in."

Customers consistently mention the staff's knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile. One customer brought in a family heirloom rifle that needed restoration—they tracked down the right part and fixed it properly. Another wanted a hard-to-find revolver for Christmas; they found it.

Community Investment HOP partners with Ashland County Veteran Services and has worked with the Hayesville Fire Department on community fundraisers. They sponsor local conservation groups like Pheasants Forever.

The HOP philosophy: Integrity and service included with every purchase. Not corporate, not generic—just shooters serving shooters.
