Good choice. I certainly like my Rizzini.

Tip: The forend latch push button shaft is (unless they changed them) threaded into the forend iron and held with a set screw.

I recall it's a 1.5mm hex drive set screw.

Recommend that you obtain a wrench in that size, remove the set screw and Locktite it in place.

Mine did work itself loose and I simply got lucky that it wasn't lost.

They are a good gun, and should it ever need service these guns are fixable without having to find (and wait for) some guru. Cole's for instance can attend to any problem with a Rizzini.

Not that you're likely to have problems, but service for stuff that's hand made and out of production and from another continent isn't getting any easier to find and people who can fix such stuff sometimes have their own timetable where months become years.

Good luck!
