New addition

For mine I ended up going directly through IFG. I ended up with the Director of Operations because I wanted a bunch of things none of the dealers had a clue about.

Manual safety
30" barrels in a 16 ga.
Semi beavertail forend (from the Gardena)
straight english stock
single trigger
ejectors
long tang
get rid of double line skip (basketweave) checkering and go single
D+ wood upgrade, the highest before exhibition
Oil finish instead of gloss

It is much more expensive going direct with IFG but in the end turned out OK.

Couple of my friends have custom ordered Isides most have used Eddie at Iron Cowboy in Pa.
Also Lion Country Supply also in Pa.
There is Advanced Arms as well I purchased a B. Rizzini 20 ga. target gun from them. And Elk County Arms both of them are in Pa. as well. Hmmm... I see a common theme here LOL. The Director at FAIR lives in Pa. I have a feeling there is a cause and effect relationship to that. There are dealers all over the Country that will custom order a FAIR for you but the 4 listed above are the most common that I know of and have a good reputation. If not great. Eddie at Iron Cowboy most likely sells and orders the most in the Country. Lion Country Supply is great to work with also. One of my friends will only use them.

Excuse me for posting this here, and not in "Shotguns", as I spend most of my time here reading & learning from you all. And it will be "Reloaded for" right ?
FAIR basic Iside, 16ga, 28" barrels

FAIR = Fabbrica Armi Isidoro Rizzini.
Doug Gray at Gray's Shotgun Cache is my go-to guy. He and IFG are just about neighbors. I am yet another happy 16 ga. Iside owner.

I assume that you posted this in the reloading section by your comment but it got moved. Good news is that between 5 of us that regular shoot together we have ~14 Isides at last count and everyone has at least one in 16. And not a single one has pierced a Cheddite primer

Congrats on a great gun! I have that same exact one. It is death on grouse

Have a few more, all in 16 gauge. Ordered a custom 30" Iside Prestige Tartaruga Gold in November and when it came in a couple of weeks ago they forgot to upgrade the wood. So they let me pick from 4 blanks, I selected #2

So it will be another month of 2 before it is completed. As a backup I was offered a deal on a 28" Iside Prestige. Figured it wouldn't hurt to have a 28" ST in coin finish to go with my 30" BT ST with CCH. I couldn't help myself.

Be careful they are addicting, just saying.

Shoot it well and often!
