A Yugo Mauser 24/47?, I don't remember exactly which but it was in great shape, shot well and smelled better than any firearm I've ever had. I don't know what kind of oil soaked up in that wood, but it smelled great. I traded it and a Mosin + ammo for a Marlin 1894 in 45 Colt. I didn't have money to buy the rifle outright at the time and I still feel like it was the right thing to do... but I do miss that Mauser. I love the Marlin though, so I don't lose much sleep over it.
