About Advanced Armament Corporation
Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC) is an American suppressor maker that helped bring silencers into the mainstream of the civilian gun market. Kevin Brittingham founded the company in 1994 in Georgia after working as a distributor of GEMTECH products. AAC built suppressors for military, law enforcement and civilian buyers, and under Brittingham’s direction it developed the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge with Remington Defense, a round designed to give AR-15 rifles strong performance with standard magazines and excellent results when suppressed. In 2011 the company received a contract worth more than $14.2 million for its Brakeout muzzle brakes.
AAC was also a founding member of the trade group now known as the American Suppressor Association, which has worked to legalize suppressor ownership and hunting in more states. After becoming part of Remington, AAC moved from Lawrenceville, Georgia to Huntsville, Alabama in early 2015. When Remington’s parent company went through bankruptcy, the AAC brand was sold in September 2020 to JJE Capital Holdings, which also owns Palmetto State Armory. As of 2026 AAC operates under that ownership and continues to sell suppressors and related products, with its listed headquarters in West Columbia, South Carolina.
