FABARM company - Presentation and ranges of rifles
Founded around 1900 and descended from a great Brescia dynasty, the Galesi family. Fabarm comes from FABBRICA BRESCIANA DI ARMI which means "Arms Factory of Brescia".
During the first decades of the 20th century, production consisted solely of side-by-side shotguns and pistols. It was after the end of World War II that over-and-under shotguns appeared. Then, in the mid-1950s, Fabarm launched the production of air rifles and firearms chambered in 9mm Flaubert.
In the late 1960s, the first semi-automatic rifle, the "GOLDENMATIC", appeared.
The 70s confirmed Fabarm's industrial dimension with an expansion of the range: over-and-under competition shotguns (STL model); side-by-side shotguns with 4 hooks; pump-action shotguns and the ELLEGI semi-automatic gas-operated shotgun.
Fabarm perfectly managed and anticipated the turning point of the 2000s by investing heavily in human resources and placing research and development at the heart of its product policy. It was one of the first companies in the sector to acquire machining centers and robots, and it organizes its production using a just-in-time system.
The new millennium marked a third wind, with Fabarm filing significant patents for the brand's future (TRIBORE barrel; PULSE piston; HP chokes; AXIS shotgun, etc.). It also saw the recognition of its modern design, acknowledged as sleek, contemporary, and innovative, creating a true Fabarm identity.
The company's business is conducted in partnership with over 700 gunsmiths nationwide , including around 100 EXPERT FABARM dealers . Our premises are ideally located, allowing us to guarantee 24-hour delivery throughout France.

Fabarm's exclusive features
1. Tribore HP BARREL Cannons
STEEL BALLS: A HEAD START FOR FABARM!
Exclusive: Fire steel shot cartridges in Fabarm INNER HP™ & EXIS HP™ chokes that are superior to half-choke.
All gun manufacturers today, including Fabarm, only allow the firing of steel shot cartridges through interchangeable chokes with a constriction no greater than half a choke. This is due to CIP recommendations, which establish a maximum angle of 1 degree within the chokes.
In this diagram, the 50 mm choke (some 65 mm chokes have the same geometry) consists of a conical section (40 mm) and a cylindrical or slightly open section of 10 mm to allow the projectiles to stabilize before reaching the muzzle. The half-choke limit for firing steel shot is thus a consequence of the fact that a 40 mm long cone with a 0.5 mm constriction corresponds to a cone with an angle of approximately 1 degree.
As a result , no manufacturer gives you the option of firing steel cartridges in ¾ and full chokes.
Fabarm is therefore today, with the INNER INNER HP™ and EXIS HP™ chokes, the only manufacturer to allow the firing of "high performance" steel cartridges in chokes superior to half-choke (while of course respecting CIP standards).
How?
1- By increasing the length of our chokes:
• INNER HP™ CALIBER 12: 82 mm
• INNER HP™ CALIBER 20: 82 mm
• EXIS HP™ CALIBER 12: 92 mm
2- By replacing the usual straight cone with 2 curves, thus avoiding the presence of a sharp angle in the choke (better progression, less friction)
These HYPERBOLIC™ chokes have been patented by FABARM.
Here are the shooting results:
ANALYSIS:
A - Fabarm Inner HP Chokes
The ability to use chokes tighter than a half choke is a key advantage for hunters. For example, while competing barrels achieve an average efficiency of 76% with a half choke, firing the same cartridge with the FABARM INNER HP XTREME (0.9) choke yields an efficiency of 89%.
That's 40 more impacts within the 75cm target! = 15% more impacts
B - The TRIBORE HP cannon
This result comes not only from the INNER HP choke but also from the TRIBORE barrel profile (PATENTED).
The TRIBORE barrel is the only barrel that does not have the disadvantages of overbored barrels already on the market, namely a loss of penetration.
A bit of history:
The overbored barrel seeks to improve shot patterns by essentially reducing friction and therefore the number of damaged balls that do not have a straight trajectory.
It was born for sporting disciplines (sporting and trap), penetration not being essential when it is simply a matter of breaking a clay target.
The first consequence of this type of barrel is that if the same quantity of combustion gases from a cartridge are compressed into a larger space (the barrel having a diameter of 18.85 mm instead of 18.40 mm), the pressure is lower. Therefore, penetration, and the kinetic energy (Ec = ½ mv²), decreases. And don't think that the velocity increases simply because of reduced friction!
So, what about the TRIBORE cannon?
This second generation of the TRIBORE barrel(*) marks the introduction of chokes with a hyperbolic profile, it also affirms the real technological advance of the brand in terms of barrel making.
The name TRIBORE refers to a cannon with 3 distinct internal sections:
FIRST SECTION: AN OVERBOARDED CORE TO 18.7 mm
▪ Reduction of perceived recoil: The overbored area at 18.7 mm located immediately after the long connecting cone reduces the peak recoil, thus enabling faster and more accurate repeated shots.
▪ Reduced friction to minimize pellet deformation and thus prevent erratic trajectories of damaged pellets. The resulting shot patterns will be denser.
SECOND SECTION: A CONE 205 mm LONG PROGRESSIVELY REDUCING THE CORE FROM 18.7 mm TO 18.4 mm
• Application of the Venturi principle according to which the speed of any fluid (or, in this case, of pellets and projectiles) increases when it passes through a narrowed section.
• Increased penetration: The kinetic energy of the projectile(s) is given by the equation EC: ½ mv². The quadratic formula for velocity therefore has a major effect on the joule value of penetration, regardless of the weight of the cartridges used.
THIRD ELEMENT: REMOVABLE CHOKES WITH A HYPERBOLIC INTERNAL PROFILE
• Instead of a classic conical profile, the hyperbolic profile eliminates any angles and reduces stress during projectile passage. The extra-long choke (82 mm for INNER HP and 97 mm for EXIS HP for 12 and 20 gauge) offers unparalleled progressive choke control.
CHOOSING A WEAPON WITH A TRIBORE HP BARREL MEANS:
- Extend the effective firing distance with denser and shorter shot patterns (the speed difference between the central and peripheral balls of the shot patterns is less important).
- With superior penetration compared to all other guns on the market, FABARM is and remains the benchmark.
- Allow the firing of steel shot cartridges and all non-toxic ammunition with all chokes above 1/2, namely 3/4 and FULL.
- Having in your hands the only rifle subjected to an additional proof pressure of 1,630 BAR, the CIP standard being 1,320 BAR.
Finally, it is possible to take advantage of the numerous competitive benefits of the deep drilling tube manufacturing process, which process...
high added value, is totally inseparable from the dimensional values of the TRIBORE HP profile to explain the superiority
ballistics of this cannon.
C - The FABARM gun drilling production process:
All our competitors produce their gun barrels by cold hammering, for reasons of production cost. This process, excellent for rifled barrels, is not suitable for smoothbore firearms. The steel obtained in this way is too rigid, lacks elasticity, and, most importantly, all the stresses created during hammering will be released during the furnace heating (a little over 700°C) for welding the bands and barrels.
The cryogenics highlighted by some competitors only aims to limit the deformation of the barrels during the welding phase by slightly freezing the internal stresses of the steel.
But there is a much more valid solution for producing excellent quality tubes: drilling chrome molybdenum steel bars.
This is the technology that Fabarm uses for all tubes, while our two main competitors limit themselves to using this technology only for their CUSTOM SHOP and high-end weapons.
2. Pulse Piston
A piston with a flexible polymer insert regulates the cocking action: it acts like a progressive brake inside the gas cylinder. No more valve, and the ability, more than ever, to fire all types of cartridges with incredibly reduced recoil.
Works perfectly with all cartridges
With lightly loaded cartridges
With high-charge cartridges
3. Soft touch
SOFT TOUCH is a special coating applied to the stock and handguard to improve grip and handling, even in the rain or at very low temperatures. With this treatment, a composite or camo-finished stock takes on a rubbery feel. This treatment also makes the composite very quiet and provides a highly durable coating.
4. Triwood finish
The TRIWOOD™ finish introduced by FABARM in 2002 is a technical process that enhances the aesthetic appearance of walnut and guarantees perfect protection against moisture.
TRIWOOD™ maintains the warm look of wood, each stock is unique.
The quality of the walnut and its grain are crucial for achieving a perfect TRIWOOD™ stock. The secret lies in achieving the precise balance between natural and artificial grain patterns.
TRIWOOD™ is not a film fixed to the wood, it is simply an ink deposit on the wood.
TRIWOOD™ stocks are protected by a highly resistant satin acrylic varnish.
5. 1630 BAR Certification
FABARM is the only manufacturer to have established a 1630 BAR testing protocol with the CIP proof house in Gardone Val Trompia. Every FABARM shotgun undergoing this exclusive test (the legal CIP test only requires a pressure of 1320 BAR) is delivered with a 1630 BAR proof certificate. Our customers' safety is our top priority.
