Longthorne Gunmakers Ltd manufacture English shotguns in England, a revival of a fading tradition. Our innovative designs are of traditional English Elegance with a slight contemporary edge.
We use only the very best materials including Turkish walnut stocks, available as 'semi pistol grip' or 'straight' and a slim 'game style' fore-end, we are also able to offer on request, a bespoke service for stocks or hand engraving if so desired.

The internal mechanism and fit of the actions are impeccably engineered to produce exceptionally close tolerances and the barrels are honed to such a level of tolerance normally only seen in high end rifles which improves straightness and roundness.

Particular attention is paid to details such as weight and balance and 'fit' all guns are supplied as multi choke and calculated to shoot at a given point of impact at a given distance.

All of our shotguns are presented in a sumptuous case embellished with the 'Longthorne' logo.
