Perhaps someone put LSD on the steering wheel, allowing said LSD to enter the bloodstream through the palms. edited for typo/srr

cmon, a good conspiracy advocate needs to supply motive. And how are these scientists connected? What do two wildlife researchers have in connection with a chemist in New Jersey?

Posted by LenBrazil 7) It is suspicious that no record exists for whoever picked up the rifle from the post office. Not at all. Prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968, there were no requirements that firearm transfers be recorded. The Post Office would handle that package just like any other.

As for the alleged weapon Oswald used to kill JFK, there are several problems with that theory. A few excerpts of Jim Garrison's book "On The Trail Of The Assassins" explains a few of them.... 1. The rifle was declared to be a Mauser by the police officers on the scene as a Mauser...... "Officer Seymour Weitzman, part of the Dallas police search team, later described the discovery of the rifle on the afternoon of November 22....Officer Weitzman...was recognized as an authority on weapons. Consequently, Dallas Homicide Chief Will Fritz, who was on the scene, asked him the make of the rifle. Weitzman identified it as a 7.65 Mauser, a highly accurate German-made weapon. Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig was also there and later recalled the word "Mauser" inscribed in the metal of the gun. And Deputy Sheriff Eugene Boone executed a sworn affidavit in which he described the rifle as a Mauser. As late as midnight of November 22, Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade told the media that the weapon found was a Mauser.
There is, of course, a significant difference between a first-class Mauser and a cheap mail-order Mannlicher-Carcano. It should have been simple to know which weapon had been found."2. No ammunition clip was ever found. "The clip is the device that feeds the cartridges into the rifle's firing chamber. Without such a clip, the cartridges have to be loaded by hand, making fast shooting such as Oswald was alleged to have done impossible. The Warren Commission skirted this problem by never confronting that fact."3. The sight of the rifle was badly misaligned... "So badly was the sight out of line with the barrel that an adjustment was necessary before government riflemen could complete their test firing. Even so, no rifle expert was ever able to duplicate the feat the government attributed to Lee Oswald."1)To many people, even so called weapons experts, any non-US military rifle is a mauser. 2) with the mannlicher design the clip remains in the rifle's magazine until all ammunition is expended. Then the clip drops through the magazine floor plate. 3) We do not know when the scope became mis-aligned. Perhaps when LHO dropped the rifle? edited for typo/srr

There really is nothing wrong with that rifle. It's a fully servicable weaponn from the early 1900s. Most of it's bad press comes from CTers and GIs with little respect for the Italian solders/army.

OK I'll buy that. I have benefited from government surplus ammunition before ;D

The WCC/MC is a headstamp indicating Winchester (or Western) Cartridge Company. I would have expected to see a headstamp of an Italian armory on surplus ammunition.

The winchester factory round was an expanding bullet so those photos are what I expect to see. Is there any evidence that Oswald was mixing his ammunition? I do recall that his revolver was loaded with 4 rds of Remington ammunition and two rounds of the Winchester load. Or perhaps it was the other way around As I say , I don't follow this conspiracy much. For some reason I thought that Oswald used only surplus ammunition. in his rifle.

Joe do have any information about the bullets that Fackler used in the pictured test? They are surely spire points and appear to be an expanding bullet as well.Sorry, snake, Rahn's page doesn't list the bullet type. He's in China right now, so I cannot ask him. Are you aware that Lattimer shot WCC/MC ammo into skulls for his experiments and the bullets inevitably fragmented? He also performed duplications of the SBT shot, and those bullets remained intact. These bullets are robust, but there seem to be limits of velocity and material beyond which they disintegrate. I'm a convinced believer in ther lone nut theory so I don't follow this JFK stuff too much. I know of Fackler's work from shooting mags and law enforcement forums. 1 point that I feel should be considered is that the Ball ammo loaded in Italy for the 6.5x52mm was round nosed and IIRC steel jacketed. Trying to compare Winchester metal cased bullets which are jacketed with gilding metal and spire pointed is not a true comparrison IMO. edited for typos/srr
