Bootleg, Inc; Built not Bought
Founded in 2013, Bootleg Inc. began as a sister company to Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) in an effort to help to serve PWS dealers looking for direct customer impingement solutions. Their flagship product, the Bootleg Adjustable Bolt Carrier Group, accomplished this goal by becoming the first AR-15 adjustable carrier that is adjustable through the ejection port, fine tunes the system’s gassing issues for the unsuppressed shooter and eliminates all extra gas for suppressed shooters. Since the creation of the AR-15 adjustable carrier Bootleg, Inc. has continued to expand its product lines and now serves all aspects of direct impingement builds. Direct ownership and operations of Bootleg, Inc. transitioned to Becca and Andrew Pike in 2020.
Becca first met Andrew at a fundraiser event “All In All The Time-Tommy V Challenge,” while working for PWS. Andrew joined PWS soon after this encounter, and the rest, as they say, is history.
From her initial roots at PWS to co-owner of Bootleg, Inc., industry veteran Becca Pike has enjoyed over 15 years in the firearms business. Becca manages all aspects of Bootleg, Inc.—from operations and production to new product development and customer outreach—with the solid support of Andrew.
Andrew began his career in firearms over 12 years ago with PWS, Gemtech and Maxim Defense. Before this, Andrew served in Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Cco.1/505 PIR; 82nd Airborne Division where he was shot by a sniper and sustained life-changing injuries. Paralyzed from the waist down, he is currently confined to a manual wheelchair. Andrew manages QA, marketing, photography and payroll.
Continuing the tradition of Bootleg Inc.’s novel technology and exceptional service, Becca and Andrew remain devoted to building strong customer and dealer relationships. In their free time, they are busy raising four children, two dogs and handfuls of chickens, while helping many other creatures great and small.
