Financial Struggles and Major Creditors
According to court filings, Watchtower Firearms has between 1 and 49 creditors, with notable debts owed to:
- DASAN USA/ALPHA FOXTROT – $686,592
- U.S. Department of Treasury (excise taxes) – $409,903
- 2020 Exhibits, Inc. – $359,781
Despite these liabilities, the company has indicated that funds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors, offering a slight silver lining for those owed money.
Corporate Structure and Ownership
Watchtower is led by Jason Colosky, who holds 100% of common stock. Preferred stockholders include:
- WTF Resources, LLC – 37.8%
- Function 1 Consulting Group – 9.5%
- Other minority stakeholders
The company’s legal representation in the bankruptcy proceedings will be handled by Joseph Acosta of Condon Tobin.
What’s Next for Watchtower Firearms?
The filing suggests Watchtower is aiming to restructure rather than liquidate, meaning the company could continue operations under a reorganized financial plan.
However, with significant debts—including federal excise tax obligations—its future remains uncertain.
