Georgia gunmaker expanding plant, hiring 120 | www.ajc.com

Georgia gun manufacturer Daniel Defense will expand a plant in Bryan County and add 120 new jobs, the Governor’s Office announced Thursday.

Daniel Defense will invest $20 million to expand a 38,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Black Creek. The company produces custom-made rifles, parts and gear for consumers and law enforcement. The weapons can start at $1,000 and cost more than $3,000.

Daniel Defense was in the news recently after it announced the National Football League had turned down a “defending your home” commercial the Savannah-area company wanted to run in select markets, including Atlanta, during Super Bowl XLVIII next month.
