The History of Chapuis

Chapuis Armes is a company that has been involved in the gun-making industry since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1934, Jean Louis Chapuis founded a small workshop in the Loire Valley, which gradually grew into a larger family business after World War 2. Initially, the company focused on making gun parts such as actions and barrels for the St. Etienne gun industry. However, the company quickly gained recognition for producing high-quality double rifles, and in the 1970s, they began manufacturing shotguns as well.

In the 1980s, Chapuis Armes moved its production to a more modern plant and incorporated CNC machines to enhance their production capabilities. The company has remained under the ownership and management of Jean Louis Chapuis's descendants throughout the century and in the 90s, Vincent and David Chapuis took over the management of the company.

Nowadays, Chapuis Armes produces high-quality rifles and shotguns in different configurations. The company's popular weapons include the Super Orion 3 series of over-and-under rifles, the Progress 3 series of side-by-side rifles, and the newly developed ROLS straight pull bolt action rifles, which are available in different finishes. They are also widely recognized for their premium shotguns, such as the FAISAN or CHASSEUR series. Besides their line of over/under and side-by-side rifles and shotguns, Chapuis Armes also manufactures the Manurhin double-action revolver since 1998.

Although the Beretta Holding Group acquired Chapuis Armes in 2019, the company continues to be run on a daily basis by David and Vincent Chapuis, the grandsons of the company's founder.
