Yes, FAMAR's built the SO guns until recently.
I think they are fabulous guns and some of the finest to come out of Italy.
I own a bespoke, 20 bore, Avantis model, with engraving that took 250 hours to execute,(sorry I don't have photo's on this current computer I am using). This was double the engraving time Cristina thought it would take to execute my requested engraving pattern yet they did not charge any extra for it. I took delivery of it in 2011 and it exceeded my expectations. I shoot it frequently and have had no problems at all, with the exception that initially the fore end was difficult to remove which was easily remedied by my gunsmith.
I will say that it took much longer to deliver than the time quoted but the end product made the wait well worth it.
