Stoeger Industries is a manufacturer and importer of firearms into the United States.

The company's Stoeger Publishing division also publishes books and videos about firearms, hunting and fishing.

Stoeger Industries' headquarters are in Accokeek, Maryland, United States. Stoeger is a wholly owned subsidiary of Benelli USA, which in turn is owned by Italian firearms conglomerate Beretta Holding S.A.[1][2] Besides marketing a line of tactical and hunting shotguns as well as air rifles, Stoeger also serves as a Federal Firearms Licensee for importing firearms by Uberti, a company owned by Beretta Holding.

Because of the significant corporate interrelationships, the actual country of manufacturing origin of Stoeger firearms varies based on both the specific model and the year of its manufacture. Current Stoeger firearms have their manufacturing origins in countries such as Brazil, Italy, Turkey, and the United States.[3]

History

Prior to its acquisition by Beretta in 2000, Stoeger was located in New Jersey, and prior to that was the largest gun store in New York City.

Stoeger commissioned various small companies in Germany to manufacture a .22 Long Rifle replica of the Luger, which it imported. It later sold an American-made version of the Luger in 1994. The pistol was all stainless steel and was in 9 mm and sold as the American Eagle Luger with 4" and 6" barrels. Stoeger has owned the name "Luger" in the United States market since around 1924.

Stoeger also distributed in the United States some firearms made by Fabrique Nationale (FN).
