Nitpicky Question About The Bag

[Walt Cakebread]

The rough wood of the stock wouldn't "take" a print very well, and he could have wiped down the metal parts with his other shirt before putting it back on.

Anyway, a palm print of his was found on the rifle.

This is a false statement that is rarely challenged.... The wood of stock of C2766 was NOT "rough ".....It's true that the wood was not highly polished, but it was not "rough".  There are many photos of the rifle and it's obvious that the wood isn't rough.

I thought this thread was about the 'bag'. Tommy wanders off again. The link doesn't work BTW...and it wasn't an official link anyway. Try it again

Makes sense that rifles and hand guns would have roughened surfaces, in order to grip more solidly.

I know without any doubt and from personal experience , that the wood of the military carcano is no more rough than the heavy brown paper, and cardboard that the police and FBI said they found prints on.   IMO the wooden stock of the carcano is actually smoother than the brown paper.

But that is overruled by advanced conjecture, expert guesswork and professional speculation.
