Prophet River Firearms

Prophet River Holdings was founded in 1994 by Clayton Smiley and was responsible for establishing websites for hunting and fishing outfitters in North America. Business was good and two years later Clay sold off the contents of Prophet River to other companies and was then left with an empty vessel.

Clay was wanting a Cooper Rifle and was unable to find one in Canada. It was then that he decided to look into importing a Cooper rifle from the United States. So in 2002 Clay imported a Cooper Model 57 -22 Long Rifle for himself. He went through all the necessary paperwork and was successful bringing his 22LR across the border. Clay was quite content with being able to import firearms for himself and for his friends, never thinking much of it.

While Clay continued to import for friends, it soon became importing for friends of friends and so on. Not long after that he realized that there was really no other company offering this service to customers in Canada. Thus, in January 2008 Prophet River Holdings was reborn as a Canadian Firearms Business.

The company Prophet River and name Clayton Smiley continued to grow through the Firearm Industry as an importing company. It was in July 2008 when Clay decided that he would expand his business farther by carrying a few firearms in inventory. Two years later Prophet River opened a location in downtown Lloydminster.

Prophet River has now grown into a major retailer of firearms, optics and accessories serving all of Canada. The company is still owned and run by Clayton Smiley, with staff who are as passionate about the outdoors, as the clientele we serve.

Prophet River Firearms is dedicated to serving a unique and primarily untouched market. There are very few companies in the Canadian firearms industry that offer the line of products and services that Prophet River is proud to provide our customers. We offer distinctive and quality products with competitive pricing.

Our company specializes in importing firearms from the United States of America. We pride ourselves in making this process easy for our customers. We do all the appropriate paperwork on both sides of the border in order to legally get the firearm into Canada and into our customer’s hands. We also take care of registering the firearm and transferring to your PAL/FAC, before shipping them by mail, courier or bus to our customers.

We continue to carry quality and unique brands, hard to find calibres, rare firearms and special editions. And more recently, through our distributors, we can offer exclusive custom orders to our customers from time to time. We provide our clients with a level of service not offered at the ‘big box’ outdoor stores. Our goal is to provide top notch service with our exceptional products.

After more than ten years in downtown, Prophet River now has a new location on the West side near the Yellowhead highway. We look forward to serving our clients for years to come from this new , larger, location.
