The Johnson sons eventually faded out of the company and it went through a series of owners. In the latter half of the twentieth century the company relocated, first to New Jersey and then to Arkansas. In 1993 the Iver Johnson name was owned by American Military Arms Corp and, according to some sources, ceased to operate under the Iver Johnson name. Approximately eight years ago, both the company and the name were purchased by the current owners, and the Iver Johnson name was brought back.
