Ischler-short-rifle
Ischler-short-rifle
― Traditional. Elaborate. Beautiful. ―
A unique stalking rifle with exposed hammer, octagonal barrel, and a full-length stock handcrafted from Circassian walnut burr. A handcrafted delight with a nostalgic flair, reminiscent of bygone times and the glory of the Habsburg emperors.
More than a century ago our company crafted this “Ischler Short Rifle” for Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph I. We still build a refined version of this rifle today.
The Ischler rifle became popular at the end of the 19th Century, when Emperor Franz Joseph I presented it at his society hunts in Bad Ischl, Austria. It was elegant, with perfect handling, and was relatively light in weight, perfect for calm targeted shots from a good position—and worlds apart from the heavy muzzleloaders commonly used at this time. The barrel was sheathed in the long forend, which protected it from damage and also prevented metallic noises that might scare game. The aristocratic hunters were thrilled and our version has been called the “Ischler Short Rifle” ever since.

The Shotgun with Small Rifle Barrel in the Rib
The Shotgun with Small Rifle Barrel in the Rib
(Waldläufer)
― Side-by-side shotgun with a little extra ―
We designed this model for those who appreciate having a virtually invisible rifle barrel in addition to two shotgun barrels – a handy feature for an accurate shot at longer ranges for hare, fox, vermin, deer, and such.
Set deep in the rib, the rifle barrel is hardly noticeable and we chose the .22 Hornet as a small, yet powerful centrefire cartridge. Without compromising on classic double shotgun function and aesthetics, the shooter now has the option of a rifle shot, if required.
This beautiful gun meets all the criteria of a well-balanced, easy to handle, elegant shotgun.

The Triple Rifle
The Triple Rifle
― The synthesis between a traditional hunting rifle and a sophisticated precision tool. ―
We sought a high-quality solution within the limits of traditional luxury gunmaking that eliminates the effect of the phenomenon of thermal expansion in the barrels*, which results in shifts in impact from the shooter´s point of aim. With the Fanzoj Triple Rifle all barrels can be fired independently, in any sequence and at any time, without them affecting each other. A revolution in the market for multi-barrelled rifles.
For several shots in quick succession, without shifting point of impact and without having to repeat!
Thermal heating behaviour in multi-barrelled weapons
Every shot fired causes a gun or rifle’s barrels to heat up. As a result, the steel expands, distorting the soldered barrel configuration – one is pushed forward and pulls the other with it, which leads to warping when the gun is hot.
The gunmaker essentially regulates a double or multi-barrelled rifle by adjusting the barrels’ point of impact to one specified distance, at 100 meters for example, on cool barrels. In order to get good results the shots then must be fired one after the other, first right, then left barrel, always in the same rhythm, at intervals of 6 to 12 seconds. Still, if shots are fired repeatedly barrels will heat up and the impact point will shift unpredictably (which differs from rifle to rifle).
In the field, however, only rarely can the barrels be shot at certain intervals, and in the same sequence in order to ensure good, precise results. The gun’s thermal behaviour therefore can lead to relatively large dispersion, especially in situations when several shots in sequence are required – on driven hunts, for example, especially in three-barrelled rifles.
This was not a problem in the past when multi-barrelled rifles were introduced – for the following reason:
Historic use:
The double barrel rifle with soldered barrels was developed some 150 years ago for hunting big game, mostly in Africa. And the appearance of a classic double barrel rifle has not changed much since. The method of soldering the barrels made sense at that time because in an emergency it enabled a second shot to be fired quickly and soldering was the only way of joining two barrels together to form a cohesive barrel unit. There is still no better method to this day. However, the distances that shots were taken at were usually 20 to 50 meters, with the result that a shift in the second shot’s impact point was hardly perceptible or of no real consequence. Today, however, new nitro cartridges (8-9 mm range) with higher gas pressure and better performance at a distance are used.
Where double rifles will usually still perform to their purpose in this range, the design of a triple barrel, however, with three shots in sequence, calls for new solutions.
