Franchi® is one of the leaders in modern firearm manufacturing techniques and has perfected the art of building double-barrel and auto-loader shotguns.

The skill and craftsmanship that are the hallmarks of Franchi guns date back to 1868. Franchi began manufacturing firearms in the historic city of Brescia, in Italy’s industrial heartland. It was a time when gunmakers’ guilds isolated themselves to protect their secrets for converting ore into metal and for forging iron into firearm barrels and actions.

Franchi’s expertise has been built on more than one hundred years of craftsmanship and unique metal-working skills, all evident in the new Franchi products being made today.
