So maybe the clip that Weitzman described had a window.  Your explanation is that he didn't see a clip at all, but just assumed it into existence.

Weitzman was speaking from familiarity  with the 7.65 Mauser.......He knew that the Argentine mauser had a five shot clip that locked forward of the trigger guard....He knew that Just as well as you might know that your car holds 24 gallons of gas.......

You're kidding, right?  Your explanation is one giant assumption.
What giant assumption is that?

If it had a window, then the rifle wasn't a Mauser.

Unless you're talking about an en bloc clip. Then the rifle would also not be a Mauser.

When did I do that?  And who's Young?

And why did you quote my post that had nothing to do with a a corpsman in order to make this response?



I guess that's what I get for juggling quotes. I was trying to reply this:

Not true.  One of them was allegedly recovered by a Navy corpsman. What was he doing messing with a crime scene before the FBI arrived?

The source for that was a Dr James Young who was one of the white house physicians. But, as I've said, he didn't say that the corpsman found the fragment, just that the corpsman showed up at Bethesda with it and three skull fragments in an envelope.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud.  You too?  He was telling Sayers what he saw, not giving him a lesson on Mauser design.

Weitzman knows what he saw better than you do.

He knows what he saw better than you do, too.

And he said he was wrong about the "Mauser."

I don't know about that.  I've never heard of James Young.
