On this episode of Whiskey & Windage, we sit down with Scott Richardson, founder of Ronin Arms, to explore the art and precision behind some of the most sought-after builds in the firearms world. Ronin Arms has become known for crafting authentic MP5SD clones, integrally suppressed SIG MCX platforms, and custom weapon systems that blend engineering mastery with real-world performance.
Scott walks us through the journey of building Ronin Arms from the ground up, the challenges of working on such complex designs, and what drives his obsession with detail and authenticity. From replicating legendary platforms like the MP5SD to developing innovative suppressed rifles, his work is pushing the boundaries of custom craftsmanship.
We also dive into his personal story — the lessons learned, the sacrifices made, and the passion that fuels his role as both builder and business owner. For anyone fascinated by suppressors, clone builds, tactical rifles, and custom weapon systems, this conversation shines a light on one of the most respected names in the industry.
