Easton, PA: To many who appreciate history, Easton, Pennsylvania is famous for The National Canal Museum and The State Theatre for the Performing Arts.
For others, Easton’s best-kept secret is Steen Armaments Reenactment Corporation, better known as SARCO, Inc. Sportsmen, collectors, military veterans, recreational shooters, and history enthusiasts all know one thing: SARCO, Inc. is the place to go for firearms, parts, historical collectibles and reproductions, and general expertise.
This year, SARCO, Inc., is celebrating its 60th year of business incorporation. Since 1962, and through three generations, the company has grown from a small operation in the attic of Charles “Cholly” Steen III into one of the world’s largest suppliers of firearms and parts.
Over the years, SARCO, Inc., has enjoyed steady growth. They have continuously added to their collection, which includes historical curiosities and hard-to-find parts for Mauser, Lee-Enfield, and M1 Garand rifles. In addition to the scope of its collections, SARCO’s influence can also be gauged in other ways.
In 2001, SARCO and Armscor International collaborated on the Rock Island program, developing the first ever commercially available Rock Island 1911 pistol, the original Rock Island 5” GI Standard 1911. Today, Rock Island Armory produces a number of other highly popular Rock Island 1911 pistols that are well respected in the industry for reliability, ergonomics, and shooter-friendly features.
(Those who’ve had Rock Island 1911 pistols on their wishlists for a while are encouraged to visit their showroom or website, as they are currently running a promotion and giving away free magazines with qualifying Rock Island pistol purchases.)
SARCO, Inc., is also widely respected as an industry expert and an invaluable resource. They have appeared in numerous previous publications in Guns & Ammo magazine, and will be featured again in the near future; readers, keep your eyes peeled.
The company’s new website, SarcoInc.com, offers only a small glimpse into the vast scope of the firearms, frames, parts, and shooting accessories they carry, along with a wealth of military collectibles and reproductions. Interested patrons can learn more about the company’s offerings - or by following them on their socials, Facebook and Instagram, for news, specials, historical tidbits, and much more. Organic marketing efforts, specifically SEO efforts, are ongoing, to improve their reach so that they may better serve their customers.
The full experience, however, can only be attained by visiting their 7,000-square-foot showroom at 50 Hilton Street in Easton, Pennsylvania, which has thousands of guns in stock.
Ultimately, for SARCO, Inc., which has been supplying sportsmen and collectors for 60 years, it’s not just about selling, but about giving back. Knowledge and service are at the forefront of SARCO, Inc’s model, and they believe strongly in educating the community about firearms, history, and the shooting sports.
