Matt Rice
Founder and Owner Operator, Ozark Armament
Matt Rice founded Ozark Armament in 2016 with a simple goal: build quality, affordable AR-15 and pistol accessories for everyday shooters, and back them with a no B.S. lifetime warranty.
He runs the company from Tigard, Oregon, and has personally zeroed hundreds of rifles across iron sights, red dots, lasers, and optics. That bench time is where the how-to guides on this site come from.
An avid outdoorsman as well as a builder, Matt has grown Ozark Armament into a respected name in firearm accessories. He writes the resource articles on zeroing, sight setup, and choosing the right optic for an AR-15 build.
