Description
There's something special about a .410 over/under built on a true small-bore frame, and the Fausti Caledon 15403 delivers exactly that. Fausti builds every Caledon action proportioned to its gauge, so this isn't a 20 gauge receiver with skinny barrels stuck on top. The result is a trim, lively gun that weighs in right around 6.2 pounds, which makes a real difference when you're covering ground on a long upland walk or spending an afternoon busting clays.
Old World Craft in the Caledon .410
Fausti has been building fine doubles in Brescia, Italy for decades, and the family's attention to detail shows here. The Caledon's engraved stainless receiver gives it the look of a much pricier gun, and the laser-grain wood stock brings warm, traditional character to match. The core of the gun is Fausti's Four Locks locking system with components machined from solid blocks of steel, which translates into a tight, durable action and a trigger that breaks fast and clean. The 26-inch blued barrels are topped with a simple metallic bead up front, exactly what you want on a gun that's meant to be pointed, not aimed.
How the Fausti 15403 Handles in the Field
With 3-inch chambers and fixed Modified and Full chokes, this setup leans toward practical field work. The Modified bottom barrel handles closer flushes and crossing clays, while the Full choke up top reaches out when a bird gets a head start. That combination suits squirrel woods, dove fields, and quail country nicely, and the tighter constrictions help the .410's smaller payload stay dense enough to do its job at distance.
Why Pick the Caledon Over/Under
The .410 crowd tends to be a discerning bunch, and this gun rewards that. It's a genuine Italian double with real engraving, real walnut, and a scaled action, the kind of gun that gets handed down rather than traded in. Whether it's your dedicated small-bore field gun or the one you grab to make clays interesting again, the Caledon 15403 earns its spot in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Fausti Caledon 15403 have interchangeable choke tubes?
No, this model comes with fixed Modified and Full chokes. That pairing is a classic field setup for a .410, giving you a slightly more open pattern on the first shot and a tighter one for follow-ups at distance. If you want screw-in chokes, you'd need to look at a different configuration, but Mod/Full covers most small game and clay work well.
Is the Caledon built on a true .410 frame or a larger scaled-down action?
Fausti builds every Caledon action proportioned to its specific gauge, so the .410 version rides on a genuinely small frame rather than a rebarreled 20 gauge. That's why the gun comes in around 6.2 pounds and handles so quickly. It also uses Fausti's Four Locks system with parts machined from solid steel for long-term durability.
Can the Fausti Caledon .410 shoot 3-inch shells?
Yes, it has 3-inch chambers, so it handles both 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 shells. The 3-inch loads give you more payload for hunting, while the shorter shells are pleasant for clays and plinking. Recoil is mild either way, which is part of the .410's charm.
What is the Caledon 15403 best suited for?
This one shines as an upland and small game gun. The light weight makes it a joy to carry all day, the 26-inch barrels swing quickly in tight cover, and the Mod/Full chokes keep the .410's pattern dense on squirrels, doves, and quail. It also makes a fun challenge gun on the skeet or sporting clays course.
