I still think that the C96 bolt stop construction was developed after a heck of a late night party in one of the Oberndorf bars. And Paul Mauser should've known, he had already lost one eye during a rifle trial....

Ha!!! I totally agree.

The same guy that designed this part, also designed the middle band retaining system for Mauser's Model 71/84 rifle. This retaining system isn't even functional, yet, the rest of the rifle is of almost space age design, considering the times.
