ART started its activity crafting boxlock and sidelock shotguns in 12ga and sub-gauges which perfectly followed the tradition of smooth-bore shotguns made in Italy. Hammer shotguns and “Boss”-type Over and Under shotguns now complete the line.

Elegant, slender and fine shotguns which, especially in 20ga and 28ga, feature perfect proportions and balance.
Easy-to-handle firearms which allow for plenty of customising: from detacheable locks to self opening mechanism and, of course, custom-made stock dimensions.
Our pictures will be enough for you to appreciate the quality of our shotguns but you will have to handle them, open and close them and look at every small detail to really understand what we can build for you!

All ART shotguns are provided with chopper lump barrels which are fitted to the action body. Internal parts are filed up and installed, the outside of the action is filed to the shape and weight specified by the customer, metal components are mirror hand-polished, engraved and then heat-treated, barrels and small parts are blackened, stocks are oil polished and checkered.

Despite being a small firm ART can rely on the experience of extremely skilled craftsmen and on the most advanced CNC capabilities in the Valley for the production of frames and internal components made from the best materials available on the market.
A combination of old tradition, hand skills, new techniques and CNC machining
