Odin Works was founded in 2012 in Boise, Idaho by Tom Hines, who moved from rimfire projects into AR-platform parts. It started as a one-man shop with a single lathe and mill and now manufactures in-house in Boise. The company makes barrels, handguards and gas blocks, and its OTR-15 rifle was named the Coolest Thing Made in Idaho by the Idaho Manufacturing Alliance in 2022. Products in this catalog include OTR-15 receiver sets and forged lowers in 5.56 NATO and .223 Wylde, a 9mm billet upper, and the Varminteer in 22 ARC.
