The Vierling from Johann Fanzoj is part gun, part work of art (Photo: Fanzoj<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cGimmicky\u201d might be the best way to describe most long guns featuring more than two barrels, but the new Vierling from gunmaker Johann Fanzoj is anything but a gimmick. The Austrian company has been making firearms for over nine generations, and they\u2019ve spent the last six years crafting a totally custom four-barrel rifle\/shotgun for an unnamed customer in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The Vierling (which comes from the German word Vier, meaning \u201cfour\u201d) is \u201can astonishing technical tour-de-force, from the conception, design & crafting of this masterpiece over a six year span, following a client\u2019s specific request and fantasy,\u201d the gunmaker says on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n

The rifle\/shotgun combines a side-by-side rifle chambered in 9.3x74mmR with an over-under 20-gauge 3-inch chambered shotgun. The rifle\u2019s caliber has been popular in Europe and Africa for decades and is commonly used to hunt medium-to-large sized game.<\/p>\n

The long gun\u2019s break-open action allows users (or, in this case, user) to load two rifle and two shotgun cartridges simultaneously. Dual triggers combine with a rifle\/shotgun selector on the comb to enable the user to fire all four rounds before unloading the firearm.<\/p>\n

The gun also features deep-relief ornament engraving depicting a variety of animals by Johann Fanzoj\u2019s master engraver F. Mak.<\/p>\n

But the Vierling is more than just a pretty face. Weighing in at 10.1 pounds, the gun \u201chandles magnificently\u201d and is \u201cperfectly balanced,\u201d according to the company’s website.<\/p>\n

Fanzoj gunsmiths also regulated all four barrels to one point of impact using both iron sights (at 35m) and a scope (at 100m). We reached out to Johann Fanzoj for a more detailed description of this process, and they described it as a “technical somersault” that relies heavily on the gunmaker’s extensive experience.<\/p>\n

“This method has now been used for about 150 years,” a company rep told us via email. “It involves aligning the set of barrels straight to the bore axis and then soldering them with the ribs and sight. A solderable shim on the muzzle then enables the barrels to be regulated relative to each other.”<\/p>\n

“The gunmaker keeps testing and soldering until the point of impact is satisfactory,” the rep continued. “It is a time-consuming process based solely on a sense of proportion and experience. The gunmaker essentially tests the rifle by firing a shot and moving the shim (alternately) until he succeeds in adjusting the two barrels\u2019 point of impact to ONE particular distance.”<\/p>\n

To prove the quality of their work, Johann Fanzoj published images of group sizes. The group on the left was shot with the rifle barrels from 100m using a Swarovski scope, and the group on the right was shot from 35m using the shotgun barrels.<\/p>\n\"WATCH:<\/a>\n

Four-barrel firearms aren\u2019t entirely unprecedented. Charles Lancaster famously<\/a> manufactured four-barrel rifles, shotguns, and pistols in England in the nineteenth century, and, more recently, Winchester produced a four-barrel \u201cshotgun Derringer<\/a>\u201d in the 1960s.<\/p>\n

The company rep didn’t say precisely how much they charged their American client for this six-year project, but she did say the final bill was comparable to the MSRP of a\u00a0Mercedes-Maybach<\/a>\u00a0“without extras”: $170,000-$200,000.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect to find a Vierling at your local gun store, but the gunmaker does offer a collection of rifles<\/a> and shotguns<\/a> ready to be hand-crafted for their next client. They even have this pre-made 5.6X50RM<\/a> rifle available to purchase today (no price listed).<\/p>\n
