NEVER many to be found Over and Under 12g Shotgun from the best known German Gunmaker, Mauser. ALWAYS exceptionally well made with a Well-Deserved World Wide Reputation.
28 ¼” (720mm) 2 ¾” (70mm) Fixed Choke Barrels set up for tight, long range patterns with Full and Extra Full restrictions. All that means is you should get every pellet inside a 30” circle at 30 yards. Full cylinder / wide open is still supposed to put 80 to 85%. Given there are circa 240 No 6 pellets in an ounce load that equates to between 36 and 48 pellets outside that 30” circle. However, its NOT like they take off at 90 degrees as soon as they leave the muzzle. What it does mean is they will be in the same but slightly bigger diameter circle at the same 30 yard distance. If you are ON TARGET its REALLY not going to make much difference. If your not on target the choke is totally irrelevant. It’s a miss regardless!
The rib is a standard ¼” (6mm) with a single Brass Front Sighting Bead.
ALSO, BEFORE you start to ask ‘what about steel’ PLEASE DO NOT fall into this ‘trap’. Cartridge manufacturers WILL come up with an effective and price conscious alternative. It is actually ‘out there’ already. If not it means every single shotgun not proof tested and suitable for steel becomes obsolete. ITS SIMPLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Undoubtedly prices for cartridges WILL continue to go up as it’s a beautiful excuse for them to do so. Much the same as everything else after Brexit and Covid. Live with it. Shooting is NOT an inexpensive pastime. Also ask yourself genuinely just how many shots do you take per year. Even if it doubles will it cost THAT much more? If you answer yes then you obviously have a fair amount of shooting so CAN afford the additional costs involved.
Back to the gun:
Stock pull measures to approx. 14 ¼” (363mm) bringing in an overall length of 45 ¾” and weighs in at 7 Lbs 3 oz (3.252). As such not a particularly heavy gun for an Over and Under. Action is Bright with contrasting Black finish to its ‘borders’. Forend Iron, Trigger Guard and even the Forend Catch are matching Silver and Black contrast. It’s also an Immensely Strong Design and Construction. Not only a Double Action Lock Up Lugs at the Bottom but an Additional Pair Across the Top. 4 in total. Externally Profusely Engraved everywhere, completely surrounding the Plain Oval with Mauser brand name inside to each side. Double Scallop Back too. Even the screws are Traditional Mauser ‘double up’ Build quality. The main screw held in place with a smaller locating / retaining position counterpart as found on their original rifles etc.
Pistol Grip Strong Straight Grain Stock with Fine Cut Chequering circa 24 line per inch and still very clean / crisp. This is not particularly well cast for right so may well work in either hand. None automatic Manual Safety and also features Sling Points. The front a permanent fixture, soldered to the lower barrel. A very common feature on mainland European shotguns. Also VERY handy for anyone doing a lot of walking / rough terrain to get where you want to be. Makes carrying it a LOT easier. This is a CHEAP gun for what it is and where it is from.
