Other:
Grulla has been manufacturing high-quality double shotguns since 1932, particularly appealing to traditional hunting enthusiasts.

They possess similar characteristics to those of "the best London guns," but at much more advantageous conditions and significantly shorter delivery times.

The weapons are individually tailored and handcrafted according to the wishes and needs of each customer.

All shotguns feature true side locks in the style of Holland & Holland, with 5 or 7 waves. Various calibers, barrel lengths, rib types, and stock shapes are available. Custom engravings are possible for an additional charge.

Another special feature, Grulla offers a complete left-handed version of its shotguns for a very small additional charge. The opening lever can be operated to the left, the trigger blades are set to the left, and the cast of the stock is already set to the left from the action connections.

Grulla supplies, among others, the Spanish royal family and manufactures three model lines for the esteemed English shotgun maker William Evans, which are marketed under his name.

The "Connaught" and "Connaught Premium" models feature side locks with 5 waves and other advantages. They were introduced by William Evans to offer an "affordable" shotgun on the market.

The "Pall Mall" model features side locks with 7 waves and other advantages, as well as a self-opening system in the style of Holland & Holland. It represents a genuine alternative to purchasing a used English best gun.

The delivery of white-finished shotguns is possible by arrangement. The time- and cost-intensive steps of production have already been completed. The adaptation of the shotgun to your needs and the final finishing for handover to the engraver will be carried out according to your specifications and by the gunsmith of your choice.
