About Us
Helsinki-licensed. Nordic-native. Built for shooters who know the difference between a jaktvapen and a tävlingsvapen.
Helsinki-Born, EU-Wide Reach
GUNLINE ARMS was founded in Helsinki by people born and raised in Finland — hunters and sport shooters first, long before we sold a single rifle. We started small, sourcing precision optics and competition handguns for the community we were already part of.
We built our own corridor for premium tactical firearms and optics — one that respects the regulatory reality of buying and shipping across EU borders, instead of ignoring it.
Compliance as Confidence
We exist to equip licensed shooters, competitors, and professionals with reliable firearms and tactical gear — vetted for the discipline they shoot, not sold as generic inventory.
Every product in our armory clears EU Directive 2017/853 before it's listed. We pre-file the Article 11 transfer form on every cross-border order, so the paperwork is done before your dealer even sees the shipment.
From Regional Roots to European Reach
What started as a Finnish operation serving Nordic and Baltic shooters has grown into licensed distribution across 20 European countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, France, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Deliveries are generally available throughout Europe where legally permitted.
Every cross-border order runs through the same licensed-dealer network and pre-filed transfer process — no bureaucratic surprises, no missed permits.
