In 1978, Jack and Teresa Starnes started a little part-time business selling reloading parts at local gun shows as J&T Munitions in Winchester, Kentucky. As time passed, local gun shows turned into nation-wide shows and reloading parts turned into gun parts and accessories. Their little side hustle slowly grew into a full-time business.
As time progressed, the Starnes’ grew the business. As a distributor, J&T was among the first civilian sales outlets for brands like Knights Armament, GG&G, and Magpul. As the AR15 world of accessories progressed, so grew the product line for J&T. AR15 kits became the bulk of our sales and before long, requests for rifles built with the same quality came pouring in.
Teresa and son Jesse answered the call by forming DoubleStar Corp (two Starnes’ = Double Star). DoubleStar Corp was initially founded as a rifle manufacturer, but later became and is now the umbrella over several companies including ACE Limited, this brand Training Academy, and most recently, Outlier Knife Company.
The acquisition of ACE Limited was a stroke of great luck. While searching for customers for our newest 6-position stock body, Bob Weir, founder of ACE Limited, was looking to sell his business. ACE LTD. had an already established an outstanding reputation for American-made stocks and receiver blocks for many different firearms. The marriage just made sense and in 2010, ACE LTD. came home to Winchester, KY. Since the purchase, this brand has continued to grow the ACE LTD. product line as well as update old designs with new features.
Outlier Knife Company came to fruition after the Starnes’ desire to grow this brand product line into new territory. DoubleStar Blades, recently rebranded Outlier Knife Company produces American-made knives and tools that cover all applications. Whether you are looking for a hunting knife that holds an edge for every harvest, a comfortable EDC for your daily adventures, or a razor-edged tactical knife Outlier Director, Rob Cabrera, and his team of seasoned designers has an answer ready and waiting.
