Located in Brescia, which is known for its numerous gunsmiths, the Armi Luterotti manufactory produces barrels for high-quality rifles and shotguns. Founded by Renato Luterotti, who worked as a shotgun maker for Franchi, among others, the company is continued by his son Massimiliano. Both are specialized in barrel making for new guns or as an exchange for existing systems. In fusion of their top barrels, the highest quality gunsmithing and top engraving services, unique masterpieces are created.
