YOU STATED:
Further perusal of O'Connor's Rifle & Hunting Rifle books will show pictures of the gun and it's many changes. Including multiple scopes and mounts, metal buttplate removed for recoil pad installation, new bolt and safety, and Lyman receiver sight removed and wood patch installed.
Please tell me where the pictures of this rifle [Minar] are in the Jack O'Connor "The Hunting Rifle" book. I have looked through my 1970 copy and can find no such photos...please enlighten me! Thanks Jerry
In the 1970 copy it's on the 10th page of photos. Right below a Winslow Mauser.
That picture and location is the same in the 1970 and 1981 printings. The fact you didn't recognize it must mean you are unfamiliar with the rifle. No great sin.......but it does beg the question how you can be so critical of those who are familiar with it.
