Strange combo 22/410 up here in Canada. What is it??????

Post by jiminthecorner »

There is a 410/22 combo for sale on a Canadian gun site listed as a ... SIDNA (?)

I've done WIKI and GOOGLE to no avail. Have anyone here ever heard or seen one????

I think its French but not sure.

Any help appreciated since I might buy it !!!

I have heard mention of that combination 410/22 before, but have never seen one either.

Jim,
I love a good search and finding out about different firearms but this one didn't turn up much as you already found out. Nevertheless, here's what I found - hope it helps:

Sometimes they were called "RAF model SIDNA" other sites referred to them as "RAF-Sidna" and they were also produced under the license name "Reina". This seems to be the address of the factory, which I think is now closed:
"Etablissements RAF, 103, rue Antoine DURAFOUR, 42100, Saint-Etienne".

Another rifle that sold in France:

RAF MODEL SIDNA OVER / UNDER 410 X 3"/ 22LR, 610MM BARREL, SER #2862

Perhaps if you can read French (best I can do is "mercy buckets") you could do a Google search in French... that might help?

If you get it, we've got to see pics and get all the details! :mrgreen:
Best of luck on it.
