- L`Atelier Verney

WELCOME
When Claude Verney-Carron founded his gun making business in Saint-Etienne in 1820, he already had almost two centuries of family
skill, know-how, ingenuity, and love of fine craftsmanship upon which to rely. And when this same artisan gunsmith chose as his
wife the daughter of a gunmaker, it represented more than just a marriage: it represented the alliance of the skills and talents of both
families, the legitimate transmission of the secrets of two dynasties of master craftsmen.
This union meant the “in-house” safeguarding of a unique technological and human heritage that has subsequently enabled
Verney-Carron to write some of the most memorable pages of French gun making history.
In 2004, Verney-Carron, while continuing to remain open to the now crucially important new technologies, decided to purchase the
traditional artisan gun making company Demas, and thus “L’Atelier Verney-Carron” was born: an artisanal gun making workshop
specialising in the manufacture of prestigious hunting weapons that are even harder to equal - in essence the very summit of the gun
making tradition.
This alliance of vital creative forces, of the skills and know-how of the two companies, and the resulting pooling of knowledge and
talent, has led to the creation of a range of prestigious high-performance products: masterpieces that harmoniously blend skill,
artisanal craftsmanship and the very latest technology.
L’Atelier Verney-Carron produces a range of luxurious, top-quality hunting weapons that combine superb lines with an utterly
impeccable finish.
These personalised weapons, each and every one of which receives the individual attentions of our Master Gunsmiths, are tested in our
workshops and must meet the most draconian standards in terms of safety and reliability.
Each unique creation is crafted from the very best materials, including the rarest and most highly sought after walnut stock blanks…
Each personalised weapon bears the sign and signature of the engraver, true art work produced with chisel on fine forged steel
receivers.
Our system of individual custom manufacture today produces the very best hunting weapons imaginable… genuine top-of-the-range
creations of irreproachable quality.
Anyone who chooses a weapon from our workshops is sure to possess a unique shotgun or rifle, a jewel of the gun makers’ art…
The exceptional marriage of quality and taste…

AZUR AD ABSOLU
Warning: this side-by-side shotgun has pushed the boundaries of
perfection. Armed to seduce and designed with neither concession nor
compromise, this shotgun claims its rightful place amongst the handful
of rare and unique objects that genuinely deserve the epithet ‘sublime’.
Just looking at it is a gift in itself, so closely do the curves approach
perfection, and to use it is to enter another world of ultimate elegance inherent and ever-present in the lines of a side-by-side. The exceptional
wood perfectly sets off the curves of the moustache-style action body
reinforcements; the metal is decorated with outstanding engraving that
highlights the subtle finish and perfect rounding of the action.
Available in 12, 16, 20, 28 and 410 gauge.

AZUR DAMAS
Only a workshop of Master Gunmakers could bring back to life the
ancient technique of Damascus steel and apply it to modern day
production. L’Atelier Verney-Carron has chosen one of its jewels to meet
this technological challenge. The AZUR DAMAS side-by-side
double rifle is a rare and precious firearm - the UFO of the gun world
(Unique Fabulous Object). While the use of Damascus steel is a
fantastic technical feat in itself, the amazing marriage of the model and
the material produces a result that will undoubtedly appeal to any
connoisseur.
Available in 8 x 57 JRS only.

AZUR SAFARI ELOGE
When an exceptional product is blessed with an equally exceptional
finish, the result is truly breathtaking. The term “éloges” (eulogy) is more
than justified in describing this sublime creation: the wood is quite
simply incomparable in terms of color and veined figuring; the engraving,
produced by hand by a Master Engraver, is fine English-style ornamental
in deep relief or banknote style with African animal subjects.
This masterpiece of the gunmaker’s art is enhanced with a plethora of
further details, including sculpted forend screw surrounds, steel pistol
grip cap with storage reservoir, and side plates.

single detail counts and there is no place for improvisation, it provides
reassuring confidence in yourself and in your equipment. The solidity
and balance of the weapon are both unparalleled: the triple bite locking
system enables you to safely face any situation, and the handling is both
natural and incredibly steady.

AZUR SAFARI LUXE
Fitted with a 3-star walnut stock, round or extended cheek piece,
moustache-style action body reinforcements, and minute attention to
detail, this luxury version of the AZUR Safari rifle accentuates the

AZUR SAFARI BUFFLE
The buffalo is considered by many hunters to be the most noble of game
animals. Its power can clearly be seen here in this model dedicated
to the exceptional. The engraving designs are initially created by an
animal artist, with completely original game scenes rarely seen on a gun.
These are then meticulously reproduced on the weapon itself by a
Master Engraver with unparalleled precision and accuracy. The result is
truly stunning - the soul of the African plains literally flowing through
your rifle. You also receive the artist’s original designs with the rifle.
Other animal subjects are available on request.
