For Álvaro, Roberto and Rufino, the perfection of workmanship coupled with the passion for the hunt is what feeds the obsession that drives every detail that goes into a LARM rifle.


At LARM, we make our rifles with the best materials and a century of experience. Our Actions are massive and made of high-grade steel, which gives our rifles impressive rigidity.

Today many Professional hunters depend on them every day for their reliability, strength, and automatic safety systems. All our rifles have the same structural soundness and performance. The different categories of guns and rifles are distinguished only by the degree of embellishments. The standard bolt or double are beautifully engraved, the deluxe has gold accents, the bespoke is the result of your own imagination. At LARM, we are committed to perfection and satisfaction. Our client’s own dreams guides us in the process of forging together precious materials to create which lead to the creation of art; a masterpiece… a LARM gun or rifle that will become part of a gentleman or lady’s life story, imbued with memories for generations.

Álvaro Hernández Arribas Master Gun Maker


LARM rifles, Bolt-Action, Express, or Take Down, have been tested for decades in the most extreme environments. These rifles receive meticulous attention in their development. They are created only by hand, one at a time. The legendary Express rifle is created by soldering the barrels on and off until both barrels achieve target perfection. We have the privilege of working out this accuracy at the historical royal hunting grounds of the Castillo de Viñuelas. This castle and its surroundings have been the hunting grounds of all the kings and aristocracy of Europe since the 1200’s. From Emperor Carlos V in the 1500’s, through the great hunter Felipe IV to today’s Don Juan Carlos I King of Spain; they have all stalked on these same grounds while creating history along the way. Rufino Zapata Master Gun Maker


At LARM, for Bolt or Express rifles, our stocks are made exclusively of the best Turkish Walnut. Due to its strength, durability and impressive beauty the Turkish Walnut is bar-none, the ultimate wood for world-class guns and rifles. Our wood pieces are handpicked in Turkey from among the best and only the best grades. Our craft is all about details; even the angles we design into our stocks are purposefully created to reduce felt recoil. We do not paint, lacquer or shellac our stocks. We treat them with special natural oils transforming the wood into a hydrophobic surface thus sealing the Turkish Walnut from humidity while simultaneously preserving its natural beauty‌ creating a rifle for generations.
