Big & Rich Come to Brownstown and Leave With Two Express Rifles

Big & Rich played our hometown of Brownstown, took home two custom engraved Express rifles and honored our veterans on stage.

Some moments mean more than words can fully express.

Big & Rich played right here in One Horse’s hometown of Brownstown, Indiana. That alone was special. Small town, big stage, and a crowd that showed up ready.

What happened around that show is what we’ll remember.

The handoff

On the Bus, Before the Show

Before Big & Rich took the stage, we joined them on their tour bus. We gave them custom engraved and Cerakoted One Horse Express Rifles, built just for them.

These were not pulled off a shelf. Each rifle was built at our shop on North Front Street, a few blocks from where the band played. The Cerakote and engraving were done for these two and nobody else.

It was an honor to shake their hands and hand the rifles over in person.

On stage

Then They Turned It Around on Us

Later that night, during the show, the band invited members of the One Horse team onto the stage. That included our Owner and CEO, Jeremy Hammons. They recognized them as Veterans and raised a toast to their service.

That was not on any schedule, and nobody asked for it. Big Kenny and John Rich stopped the show and put the spotlight on the men who served. The whole crowd got to say thank you with them.

Standing on that stage in our hometown, in front of the people we live and work around every day, was not something any of us expected when the night started.

We are grateful to Big Kenny and John Rich, and to Rock the Rind for making the night happen and for taking the time to honor our Veterans.

The rifles

What They Took Home

The Express Rifle is the platform we launched this summer. It ships from Brownstown with a factory-installed Atrius Forced Reset Selector. That selector is what makes the Express what it is, and why it’s its own line, not just another AR on the rack.

The rest of the build is spec’d the way we think a rifle should be from the factory, not after three rounds of upgrades:

  • 16″ CrMoV nitride barrel, SOCOM profile
  • Atrius Single Side Selector
  • Breek Arms Warhammer Mod2 charging handle
  • 15″ Express-Lock handguard
  • Thril CCS stock and RTG grip

It’s the same rifle we sell to customers, with the same components and the same build process. The only difference on these two was the finish work and the engraving.

Thank you

From Our Crew to Yours

To Big & Rich: thank you for the music, the hospitality, and most of all for the respect you showed our Veterans. It was an honor to share the moment in our hometown and send you down the road with a couple of One Horse rifles.
