Grandfather's .22 Mauser Mm410 Light Sporter

My grandfather used to shoot and hunt a bit. Was a winner of the King's Shoot of the Stockwell Hunt Club three years or three years in a row (?). Won a fancy trophy for that honour.

My father has one of his shotguns, and my Uncle inherited the three other firearms. Anyway my Uncle decided he no longer wants to have a firearms licence, had sold off the farm decades ago and decided to sell the three firearms to me.

Nothing fancy, a Stevens 12 gauge shotgun with hammers. One hammer is broken off and needs to be found still. An unknown brand single barrel .410 shotgun of unusual design, very rusted. And a Mauser .22 rimfire with a magazine.

I remember getting excited by Joel Dorleac's fantastic customised Mauser .22 of his own, but my "new" rifle appears to be a different model.

Will see about posting some photos tomorrow. As I said nothing fancy at all, but valued by me the family history. Would be interested in more information about the Mauser .22 RF though.

Fitted with a Leupold rimfire 2-7x scope and Leupold mounts on the integral dovetail.

Five shot magazine.
