Description
The Fausti USA Caledon 15403 .410 Bore O/U 26in is a lightweight, break-open over/under shotgun built for upland hunters and clay shooters who want a trim, low-recoil platform. With a 26-inch blued barrel, 3-inch chamber, and fixed modified/full chokes, this two-round gun delivers tight patterns on birds or targets.

Key Features
- Fixed Modified & Full Chokes – WHY IT MATTERS: You get consistent, tight shot patterns for longer-range shots on pheasants or clays without the hassle of swapping tubes.
- 26-inch Blued Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: This length balances swing speed with pattern density, making it ideal for walking upland cover or shooting sporting clays.
- Engraved Stainless Receiver – WHY IT MATTERS: Corrosion resistance meets old-world looks; the engraving adds grip surface and prevents glare in bright field conditions.
- Laser-Grain Wood Stock in Brown – WHY IT MATTERS: You get the appearance of fine walnut without the cost, and the laser-carved texture provides a secure grip even with wet hands.
- Break-Open Action with 3″ Chamber – WHY IT MATTERS: The 3″ chamber lets you shoot magnum .410 loads for heavier payloads on larger birds, while the break action ensures reliable extraction and quick reloading.
Who It’s For
This is for the hunter who wants a dedicated .410 O/U for walking thick cover or teaching new shooters. It also fits the competitive shooter looking for a low-recoil option for sub-gauge events. If you prefer a lightweight gun that carries easy all day and swings fast on close-flushing birds, this is your rig.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at roughly 6.2 lbs; fixed chokes eliminate guesswork; engraved stainless receiver resists rust; classic field styling; 3″ chamber for versatile loads.
- Cons: Fixed chokes mean no choke switching for close-range work; laser-grain wood lacks the feel of real walnut; .410 bore limits payload compared to 20 or 12 gauge.

FAQ
What chokes come with the Fausti USA Caledon 15403?
It ships with fixed modified and full chokes, which are built into the barrel. You cannot swap them out. These chokes produce tight patterns ideal for longer shots on birds or clays.
Can I shoot 2.5-inch shells in this .410?
Yes. The 3-inch chamber accepts both 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 shells. Stick with standard 2.5-inch loads for low-recoil practice, and use 3-inch magnums for heavier payloads on larger game.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No. The stock is fixed with a traditional field-style length of pull (approximately 14.25 inches per Fausti USA specs). You can add a slip-on pad for minor adjustments.
How do I clean the engraved stainless receiver?
Use a soft cloth and mild gun oil. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the engraving. The stainless finish resists rust, but regular cleaning after use in wet conditions is still recommended.
