What happened?
BTW--me too. Just sent off an app and finger print card to the FBI. Hopefully, so I don't have to wait any more.
Aaarrrggg |

| Nothing other than I edited over a bad joke about waiting. I was fine until this week and now my patience has evaporated. |

I'm surprised you haven't imploded before now.
What says John from Texas?
He shipped mine out right away. |

| I was fine until Pockets posted those pics, I’m pretty sure mine won’t show up until February. Italians like their holidays. |

Please except my sincere apology.
I feel y'all's pain. I hate waiting.
How about a hobby to pass the time?

Different angles and light. I'm glad you like it. I am very pleased.
All you really need is some boiled linseed oil and a soft clean cotton rag.
Rub some into the wood and after a few minutes, wipe off all excess.
Do this until you are satisfied (I did 5 applications).
let each dry for a day and then buff the final coat.

| Wow, that look like grade 3 or 4 wood, it also really makes the checkering look more polished, I know some guys are on the fence about the skip line but I think it looks really good especially on your gun. I’m really glad FAIR is marketing under their own label hopefully they are in the US to stay, I think the basic Iside is the best looking out of the whole line, looks like an old school bird gun and at a great price with all the modern advantages. |

Yup--when I opened the box at the FFL, my smile nearly cracked my face.
I was equally impressed with the depth of the bluing and the balance of the gun.
They really are quite lively in the hands.
I don't dislike the skip line checkering. It does grow on you, but it could be a tad deeper. The case coloring is very nice.
The package over all is, to me, a heck of a bargain.
I love the round body action...I can sometimes imagine I'm holding a Scottish gun--to me the most beautiful in the world.

| I wonder if it would be possible to order one uncheckered so I could checker it myself, but with the long tang. I also wish it came with tighter chokes. Modified doesn't cut it for me, as I regularly get chukars and huns with my xf choked left barrel in my Husky 16 at 40+ yds. Hmmm.... |

Mine came with a full choke tube and others are available.
My mistake. It comes with cylinder, IC and Mod, but full is available. |

The fair stacks up pretty good with the Beretta in this comparison, I ordered the long tang on my Iside but I’m not sure how long it actually is hopefully it’s a good chunk of metal. I bet they would send you an uncheckered gun, I also went with a single trigger, it was about three hundred extra bucks for the add ons. The chokes got really good reviews in the article. Dang the wait is going to be a long one. I talked to the regional rep from IFG and he encouraged me to use my local dealer who was a little bit better on the price than some of the guys on the net, I did go to high school with him and have done a fair amount of business there. I want my Iside now. |

I'm also curious about the long tang option. I'm guessing it will be shorter than a full long tang, but it's a nice touch nonetheless.
I'll measure the constrictions on the choke tubes with my bore gauge. Hoping the three supplied tubes cover the gamut. |

It will be interesting to see, Dave. I think we figured the Cyl to have .003.
I’ve got Cyl and Mod in and it’s working on Quail. |
