Description
The Rizzini Grand Regal Extra .410 Bore 29″ O/U Shotgun is a hand-fitted Italian over/under built for wingshooters who demand precision in a sub-gauge package. Chambered in .410 Bore with a 29-inch barrel, it uses a box-lock action, automatic ejectors, and a single selective trigger—all wrapped in hand-engraved game scenes on a coin-hardened receiver. This is a dedicated field gun, not a safe queen.

Key Features
- Hand-Engraved Coin-Hardened Receiver — Each receiver carries a detailed game scene, done by hand in Italy. The coin-hardened finish resists wear better than standard blued steel, so it stays sharp after seasons in the field.
- 29″ Monobloc Barrels with Forcing Cones — The 29-inch barrels balance between swing speed and sight radius. Long forcing cones reduce perceived recoil and pattern distortion, making the .410 hit harder on game.
- Rounded Boss-Style Forend with 26 LPI Checkering — The forend shape gives a positive palm swell, and the 26 lines-per-inch checkering provides a secure grip even with wet hands. No slip, no fuss.
- Five Nickel-Coated Flush Chokes — Includes IC, M, IM, F, and XF chokes, all flush-fit. Nickel coating prevents rust and makes cleaning easier—critical for the .410’s tight patterns.
- Automatic Ejectors and Single Selective Trigger — Ejectors kick spent hulls clear, not just lift them. The single selective trigger lets you choose barrel order via the tang safety, standard on high-end Italian O/Us.
Who It’s For
This gun fits the experienced wingshooter who already owns a 12 or 20 gauge and wants a dedicated .410 for upland birds, clays, or collecting. It’s also for the shooter who values hand-fitting and engraving over mass-production—someone who spends more on a gun than most spend on a car, and knows why.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Hand-fit Grade 4 walnut with 26 LPI checkering—wood quality is a tier above production-grade .410s.
- Pro: Coin-hardened receiver resists holster wear and scratches better than high-polish blue.
- Con: At 6.8 lbs, it’s on the lighter side for .410—recoil will be sharper than a 7.5-lb 28 gauge, especially with 3″ shells. Stick to 2½” loads for all-day shooting.
- Con: Flush chokes require a wrench for changes; no extended chokes included.

Rizzini’s advantage is hand-fitting and engraving at a price point where competitors use CNC or upcharge for hand work. Zev offers a lifetime warranty but less wood selection; Agency Arms costs more for similar hand-finishing.
FAQ
What is the barrel length and choke configuration?
The barrel is 29″ over/under. The gun comes with five nickel-coated flush chokes: IC, M, IM, F, and XF. All are .410 bore compatible (2½” and 3″ shells).
Is the receiver engraved or laser-etched?
Hand-engraved. Each receiver carries a game scene (typically pheasant or woodcock) done by Italian artisans. The coin-hardened finish is applied after engraving.
Does it come with a hard case?
Yes. It ships in an ABS plastic case with fitted foam, cut for the gun and chokes. The case is airline-friendly for travel.
What is the trigger type?
Single selective trigger, non-adjustable. Barrel selection is controlled by the tang safety—push left for top barrel first, right for bottom barrel first.
Can I shoot steel shot through the nickel-coated chokes?
Yes, but only with modified or more open chokes (IC, M). Full and extra-full chokes are not rated for steel. Use bismuth or tungsten for tight patterns.
