Some gunmakers take a triple-sized booth at the show. Tullio Fabbri walked the Las Vegas Safari Show with no booth, no catalogue, not even a name tag, and the orders came to him anyway—cost no object, however long the wait. When the wolf at the top of the hill is hungry, the food is always there.

John Milius wrote Apocalypse Now and directed Conan the Barbarian. Nearly every fine gun he ever owned got traded off or sold along the way, but he never sells a Fabbri: his favorites are set aside for the burning Viking ship off Malibu.

Tomorrow morning, we meet the wolf.

“Fabbri,” by John F. Milius. From The Double Gun Journal · Volume Nine, Issue 2 · Summer 1998.

If you’re already a member: tomorrow’s edition arrives at sunrise. Pour the coffee.

If you’re reading this for free: this is the kind of story the journal exists to keep. A barrel steel formulated to last three thousand years, flawless blocks of it rejected because the maker didn’t like the way they cut, and the day in 1972 when Frank Pachmayr handed a young filmmaker the best gun in the world and admitted he couldn’t build one like it—preserved and waiting for you.

Thirty-seven years of doubles, makers, and the people who loved them—one click away.

An independent journal of double guns, made possible by its readers. Enter your email to begin.

Until tomorrow,

The Double Gun Journal Revival
