Limited Runs of Creative Genius
Here today, not tomorrow.
R&D for most companies is seen as a secretive, behind-closed-doors process. Dark rooms, sweaty engineers, piles of instrumentation, discarded prototypes, and a healthy dose of mad scientistry. For Gunwerks, it’s not just a process; it’s a way of life.
Inspired by the legendary Lockheed Martin Skunk Works. The elite, rapid-development teams behind some of aviation and defense’s most classified breakthroughs, from the SR-71 Blackbird to the F-117 Nighthawk. Gunwerks has adapted that same agile, high-intensity engineering mindset. We apply it here to create limited runs of pure creative genius: highly innovative rifle builds dreamed up and engineered by our own team to solve specific problems no one else has cracked.
But rather than locking the results away in a black project vault, we’ve opened Skunkwerks up for the world to see.
Skunkwerks is your view behind the curtain at what truly drives innovation at Gunwerks. These limited-run builds are produced in tiny batches and, once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. More importantly, every Skunkwerks project serves as a proving ground for bold new concepts. The most successful engineering breakthroughs are refined and integrated directly into our core product lines, ensuring that the rifles we offer you tomorrow are always one step ahead of today.
TINY AF
SETTING THE STATUS QUO
Unsatisfied with current folding chassis and stock offerings in the market, we kept coming back to our own product line.
"What if we could integrate a hinge into our ClymR stock?"
The ClymR stock features optimal stock geometry perfect for small, compact rifle systems. The challenge was integrating a hinge into our proprietary carbon fiber process that didn't compromise form, rigidity, or function and to do it with a deadline looming. However, the requirements were clear: it had to fold close to the action for minimal overall length, it had to lock up rock solid, it had to be incredibly strong, and it had to not interfere with shooter ergonomics.

ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND TINY FIREARMS
UNTAXED. UNBURDENED.
With the passing of the Big Beautiful Bill, 2026 is a milestone in firearms history. We want to celebrate this moment with all things Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. The removal of the onerous $200 tax stamp on NFA items inspired us to keep our friends at the ATF busy by putting paper on their desk and keeping cash in your pocket. Celebrate another 2A win with a fine cigar, your favorite libation, and the smallest Gunwerks rifle ever engineered.
ZERO-DOLLAR 2 STAMPERS
The new Skunkwerks Tiny A.F. rifle is what we call a "2-Stamper" - requiring a form for both the "short-barreled rifle" and the suppressor to be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the ATF. Prior to January 1, 2026, those stamps would have been unjustly-taxed at $200-per, but now we can put that extra cash to more rifles, suppressors, powder, bullets, and American freedoms.

The Gunwerks public R&D program focused on limited runs of creative genius by our engineering team. These projects test new concepts, inspire wild ideas, and push the fun factor with firearms to the limits!
YES, IT'S TINY.
THE RIFLE
The Tiny A.F rifle sports a 11.25" heavy-carbon Gunwerks C60 contour barrel chambered in 6 ARC. If that's not enough to get your attention, it folds to a minimum length of 19.5", recoils less than your daughter's Red Ryder, and rings steel past 1000 yards. It doesn't get any more fun than this.
Every Tiny A.F. rifle system is paired with the Leupold MK5HD 2-10x30 FFP riflescope, one detachable 4-round flush magazine, one 10 round AICS magazine, a custom engraved Skunkwerks Yeti flask, a custom engraved Tübr humidor with Knuckle Sandwich cigars, and shipped in a custom Pelican Air case.
- Folded Length (Unsuppressed): 19.5 inches
- Folded Length (Suppressed): 26 inches
- Deployed Length (Suppressed): 37 inches
- Weight (Suppressed): 9lbs 2oz
6 ARC - A New Chambering
Bullet: 105 Hunting VLD
Velocity: 2300 fps (approx.)
The 6 ARC has the smallest case capacity of any Gunwerks chambering, but it has blown us away with its capability. The design of this cartridge is extremely efficient and benefits from fast-burning powders in the 11.25" barrel, making the 6 ARC punch out of its weight class.
- Expansion velocity out to 500 yards
- Remarkable precision at over 600 yards
- Consistent impacts at 1000 yards
All without any recoil. The Gunwerks 6 ARC ammunition has proven to be boringly consistent.
In the field, the Tiny A.F. rifle will deliver reliable performance on small to medium sized game inside of 500 yards in a package that could fit in your back pocket.

The Skunkwerks engineering team crushed it.
THE HINGE
Composed of just 9 parts, the Skunkwerks Tiny A.F hinge operates off of a simple one-button press that is tactile and reliable. At the crux of every good design is simplicity and enormous effort went into strengthening the hinge without adding any more parts than necessary. Additionally, integrating a hunk of metal into a previously homogenous carbon fiber layup process led the Skunkwerks team to industrial strength bonding processes and a final product that may be even stronger than the original ClymR stock.
The development process resulted in new carbon fiber processes and better understanding of composite strengths, critical bonding strengths, material use, unique production processes.
Yeti x Pelican x Tübr x Knuckle Sandwich
In the spirit of regained freedoms and liberties, inside the Pelican Air case you will find a custom, Skunkwerks engraved Yeti flask and a Tübr humidor containing 2 Guy Fieri Knuckle Sandwich cigars. This Tiny A.F. package was meant for memorable days in the field, on the range, and around the fire.
