Harris Gunworks, a Phoenix, Arizona based U.S. firearms manufacturer, began operations as G. McMillan & Co. after Gale McMillan spun off the rifle building portion of his McMillan Rifle Stock business. McMillan sold this to a group of investors headed by Wes Harris. With Harris as President, the company received its first of many military contract awards. Harris parlayed McMillan's reputation for high quality, high accuracy benchrest competition rifles (previously built primarily from the rifle actions of other manufacturers), to create markets for military sniper rifles and custom hunting rifles.
