Got word a little while ago from my gun dealer (pusher?)
That FAIR is starting to make 20 gauge hammer guns and of course needed/wanted one ASAP!
After shooting the bejeebers out of my Pedersoli LaBohemienne for a season my pal and I figured we would lobby Pedersoli to build 20 gauge guns, but they declined.
Luca Rizzini however, after talking with some people, mused that he could do it successfully - which s a bold move considering the economy these days!
In the end , my gun guy s bringing in three to start, one for his inventory, and one each for my hunting buddy and I -YIPPEE!
English stocks, splinter forends, chopper lump barrels ( IIRC)
double triggers (of course being side locks!)wood is supposed to be "upgraded" STEEL APPROVED with screw in chokes!
The should be here in a few weeks with any luck.
Dunno if any are coming Stateside , but my gun guy exports down there I think.
Will post pics and a write up when it happens a VERY stoked about this new pheasant/waterfowl smasher !
