I ordered my "semi-bespoke" 16GA FAIR (Isodoro Rizzini) fall 2002 and received it July 2003. It arrived with four chokes in a decent combination locked blue plastic case. I measured the chokes as follows: 1 mark - 40 points of choke, 2 marks - 30 points of choke, 3 marks - 18 points of choke, 4 marks - 10 points of choke, no mark - 1 point of choke.
I order the gun thru (the late) Brian Dwyer of GunMart Brockville Ontario. He and his wife placed the order at IWA or EXE (can't remember) in January 2003. I was so impressed with the 28GA FAIR O/U that I bought at GunMart fall 2002 that I immediately placed an order for my dream 16GA, O/U, English hand, double triggers, barrels left as long as they could, same with stock. I fell for Michael McIntosh's 16GA silver tongue, and haven't regretted it for a heartbeat. Gun arrived with standard FAIR cast-off, 73CM/28-3/4" barrels, 15-1/4" LOP over the factory 1" pad, DAC 1-7/16", and DAH 2-1/4". It's a LOT of gun for the money, but it's not a bespoke Italian or Spanish gun by any means.
