Shells, rifle, SN... Who?

[John Iacoletti]

I'll be happy to do that, but I need proof that such a thing happened.

You don't need any proof to posit that Weitzman was handed a Mauser to describe when he was back at the police station.

Guys...who cares anymore if there was a Mauser, a Carcano, or a Daisy BB gun? It will not prove Oswald shot JFK.

Well if there WAS a mauser it proves the DPD were lying. In case, there was no Mauser so its not an issue. Simple case of misidentification.

[Jerry Freeman]

Enough with the Mauser already.

The ammunition used in the rifle was American ammunition recently made by the Western Cartridge Co. [WCC], which manufactures such ammunition currently. In tests with the same kind of ammunition, experts fired Oswald’s Mannlicher-Carcano rifle more than 100 times without any misfires.

A deliberate lie!

Two lies.....The Warren Report  page 646   AND the letter from Winchester Western.....   

WW had produced the 6.5 mm Carcano ammo for the CIA under a Marine Corp contract  ....... There are films of Cuban's being trained for an attack on Cuba, and they are using Mannlicher Carcanos.      The CIA was providing the training and materials....   The carcanos were cheap and plentiful so all the CIA needed was fresh ammo ....and Winchester Western provided it .

The DPD lied about all kinds of stuff. They mishandled all the evidence. They converged on Oz within an hour of the Big Event. The were all over the backyard photos. They served up Oz to Ruby on a silver platter. They were without a doubt conspirators in the Big Event under the tutelage of Hoover, Who knows what deal they struck. They were the scum of the earth, not the heroes the LNers claim they were.

Big claims need big evidence. And i dont see any.

You haven't been looking then. Read more threads and get back to us with specific qualms. Or look at my prev posts if you like. I'm not shy about making big claims. I don't pretend that I am right about everything. It's just my best guess based on the evidence. I am a scientist and I evaluate evidence using logic and critical thinking. The more you know about something, the better your guess.

Where are these films, and how do you know they are using fresh Winchester Western ammo?
