Gun show in Colorado Springs in 94/95. Saw an extremely well done custom Mauser with a classic sporter stock. $400 and the dealer said it was the best deal at the show, a consignment that the seller set the price. Went to get $ at a nearby ATM and it was gone when I came back. Years later after reading Micheal Petrov’s book did I recognize that rifle I noticed was likely a custom Minar stocked rifle…same lines, classic in every way, and he was local to Colorado Springs….still think of that one once in awhile….
