Corbin: Over 50 Years of Setting the Standard
When you trace back the roots of modern airgun slugs, one name keeps popping up:
Corbin. For over five decades, Corbin Manufacturing has been quietly shaping the ammunition industry — not just airguns, but firearms and beyond. From your favorite brands to the Army, Navy, CIA and beyond.
Built on Swaging, Not Stamping
Most of the market got started with punch presses and mass production. Corbin took a different path:
swaging precision projectiles under controlled pressure. That difference in process is why our tooling has been trusted for accuracy, repeatability, and ballistic performance. And why today, swaging is still preferred by top shooters.
The First Call for PCP Manufacturers
It’s no secret — when many of today’s most respected PCP slug manufacturers were ready to get serious,
their first call was to Corbin. Entire brands, entire product lines, launched off Corbin presses and dies. Even now, some of the most successful slugs being shot in competitions trace their origin back to our machines.
More Than Just Tools
For over 50 years, Corbin hasn’t just been a supplier. We’ve been a partner and problem-solver for ammunition makers across the world. From hand tools to automated hydraulic systems,
our innovation set the benchmark for consistency — and it’s still the standard many others are chasing.
Why This Matters to Airgunners
As the airgun world continues to grow, precision matters more than ever. Ballistic coefficients, terminal performance, repeatability — these things don’t happen by accident. They happen because of the right design, the right material, and the right tooling. More often than not,
that story begins with Corbin.
