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.

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.
