Titanium - Modern Performance rifles
The engraving – an ancient and exquisite art, highlight of aesthetic perception and class.
We master the full range of techniques and styles, from classy, understated scroll ornament to magnificent relief engravings, to the finest Boulino (burin), that give each hunting weapon its unmistakable uniqueness.
We always encourage our clients to join in the process with their personal ideas, to become a protagonist in the process of building their personal fine guns.
Some of our projects take years to execute, beginning with extensive research about a particular idea on to countless sketches and brainstorming sessions. A step-by-step process of total creativity, down to the final result: a one of a kind, one piece only gun or rifle for the most discerning customer.
All our engravings are executed by hand, without exceptions, by top-of-the-line master engravers. The human element inherent in a hand-cut is as unique a feature as the distinctive lines left from the bristles of Michaelangelo´s brush.
We are privileged to work with and commission some of the finest Master engravers in the world, some of them exclusively.

Why Titanium Rifles
Over the past few decades the demands placed on premium hunting rifles have increased considerably. Fanzoj clients look for impeccable aesthetics and perfect craftsmanship to go along with superior standards of functionality, accuracy and durability. They want to see achievement and competence in their customized luxury product. A desire for lighter weapons exists too, especially in the 6-9 mm range for long distance and mountain hunting.
This triggered our search for something new, something revolutionary in exclusive gunmaking, to seek a way to reduce weight, which ultimately led to our involvement with Titanium and, in 2010, the launch of our first TI model – a state-of-the-art hunting tool.
Myth Titanium
Titanium is the best metal grade known today for premium applications – (eg aerospace, Formula One, medicine..)
ULTRA-STRONG. Titanium alloys have a maximum tensile strength of up to 200,000 psi/ 1,380 N/mm2
ULTRA-LIGHT. Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any readily available structural metal –
Our Titanium action weighs 45% less than a regular Mauser steel action.
INDESTRUCTIBLE. Titanium is almost as resistant as platinum, capable of withstanding acids, moist chlorine gas,
and common salt solutions.
The Ultimate Challenge
Whomever uses titanium also knows the other side of the coin; namely how expensive, how challenging with which it is to work. Its ductile nature and rough surface causes high friction, which slows down machining – resulting in extremely high tool wear. The metal has to be cooled constantly. Any processing must take into account the fact that the material has a significant memory and tends to spring back.
At Fanzoj, we see the future as a universe of opportunities, with exciting possibilities in material technology and surface processes being far from exhausted. Utilizing Titanium is one of those unique opportunities in bespoken gunmaking, on this ever-ongoing path towards perfection, with the single goal of producing the finest individual pieces for the most discerning and individual of sportsmen – ultra-customized tools for the adventure of a lifetime.”
VIERLING – A Four-Barrelled Rifle-Shotgun
VIERLING – A Four-Barrelled Rifle-Shotgun
― A rarity and a technical masterpiece ―
We designed and built this extraordinary four-barrelled firearm to a client´s specific request. A side-by-side double rifle (cal. 9,3/9,3x74R) was paired with an over-and-under shotgun (gauge 12/12/76) to become one firearm.
The customer required that the Vierling shoot four (plus two) times in sequence, with “hot” barrels; a robust, reliable mechanism that would enable intuitive quick handling.
As a gunmaking complication our four-barreled Vierling is unsurpassed: H&H-type sidelocks, with automatic ejectors, yet responsive and well balanced. It took an enormous effort to design and build, to join and regulate the rifle barrels two-times-two so they would shoot together to the same point of impact, in sequence—first the 9,3 barrels, then by pushing the barrel selector forward, the shooter continues with the 12-gauge barrels. Automatic ejectors for the shotgun barrels facilitate quick reloading for another two shots.
Triple-Barrel Smallbore Shotgun
Triple-Barrel Smallbore Shotgun
― The Quail Gun ―
Possibly the smallest three-barreled gun ever built, in .410/.410/.410, with H&H-type sidelocks, one single trigger firing all three barrels in the sequence: right-left-bottom. Weight 2,4kg (5.2lbs).
It was a great challenge to fit a mechanism of such complexity into such a tiny action.
The trigger plate is only 12mm (0.47-inch) wide. On this triggerplate the single-trigger mechanism for all three barrels, as well as the lock for the third bottom barrel, must fit—and function correctly. Apart from crafting every single part from the full material, the design of this gun also involved a thorough reengineering of each component, and the relocating of the springs inside the action.
From a Set of Two shotguns dedicated to two birds (mallard and quail), we proudly present “The Quail Gun”—in .410/.410/.410
Gunmaking "Grande Complications"
― Virtually anything is possible ―
At Fanzoj we are one of the world’s few gunmaking firms that still build individually designed (multi-barrelled) weapons at the highest levels of craftsmanship, honouring an old and hallowed tradition in Middle-European gunmaking.Single unique items, that impressively combine Old World craftsmanship skills with modern technical engineering.
The complexity of building such multi-barrel mechanisms, and the time needed, makes them almost `priceless´; yet, by the same token the “old knowledge” has been transmitted to us by the Master Gun Makers from the past, to be preserved and treasured as part of our heritage, we pass our knowledge on and set the course to inspire also coming generations with this old craft, as part of a never-ending cultural flow.
For special clients, who appreciate our “Grande Complications” we are proud to present some rare samples.
Fanzoj TITANIUM TI-3
Fanzoj TITANIUM TI-3
Unique bolt-action rifle with all components made of titanium alloy—the finest metal for premium applications. First introduced to our rifles in 2010, titanium has fascinated us ever since.
Our latest TI-3 model’s basic design remains that of the original Mauser M98; yet, with technical modifications to the action that improve accuracy and stability. A new, direct adjustable titanium trigger and ultra-stable titanium scope mount emphasize the unmatched exclusivity and high-performance character of today’s TI-3.
At first glance, the model TI- titanium series resembles other luxury rifles built by Fanzoj. Only the silk matte, charcoal-colored, perfect metal surface reveals that there is something “unconventional” about the gun. Then you pick it up, and its light weight and its responsiveness will amaze you.
