Here is some information about the history of Huglu.

The shotguns we have to offer are manufactured in Huglu, a small town with a population of 3,500 on the slope of the Taurus Mountains in central Turkey.

Gun craftsmanship was brought to Huglu by two master gunsmiths who learned maintenance and repair of guns while they were in the army during World War I. They returned home and started their first workshop around 1914. In a few years, the business became the most popular industry in the town. Other gunsmiths, from their separate workshops, began to support this business. As a group they decided to establish a cooperative to better their production and marketing strategies. Now, there are more than 100 separate workshops, with more than 600 craftsmen, and they employ another 500 workers. Approximately 65,000 shotguns are manufactured each year in Huglu, of which 15,000 are over/unders, 10,000 are side-by-sides, 15,000 pump action, and 25,000 semi automatic models. The main factory building is 107,640 sq. ft. and there is 538,200 sq. ft. of separate workshops.

Our Master Craftsmen, with over 75 years of experience, have developed a premium firearm with most of the work being done by hand.
