Ferfrans

Ferfrans (stylized as FERFRANS) is an American firearms manufacturer based in Montclair, California.^[1] It was established in 1998 by Filipino–American brothers Ferdinand and Francis Sy. Ferfrans was derived from the brother's names, Ferdinand and Francis.^[2] The company was previously known as Ferfrans Specialties.
