About

DTV Arms LLC was officially founded in 2021 by Kris Paulson to innovate the M134. Our main focus is to provide customers with an improved, modernized, and lighter weight version of the M134.  

Background

Since 2004 the owner, Kris Paulson, has been customizing firearms and building them for people from all over. Starting as a hobby to help friends and family, it quickly grew into something more. Once finishing high school Kris went to college for mechanical engineering at Dunwoody in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Before graduating he felt a higher calling and joined the United States Army and became a Paratrooper with the 173rd ABCT, 2/503 ABN INF in Battle Company. After being hurt in Afghanistan he left the military and went back to college for business management. In 2012 he left for Afghanistan again, this time as a private military contractor working at the embassy in Kabul as a Personal Security Specialist. Finally, in 2014 he left his job working in Afghanistan to focus on a career that would afford him more time with his family and allow him to be closer to home.

With a time lapse in work from being over seas in Afghanistan and a move across country, DTV Tactical Innovations and DTV Arms LLC has been a top priority. Settling in Hendersonville, Tennessee, DTV has come full swing and is up and running as a 07/02 FFL/SOT manufacturing and gunsmithing shop. Although it's a small business, it has all the equipment needed for almost any job. With the purchase of multiple CNC milling machines DTV's capabilities have become ever more increasing in the already broad range of services offered.
