I bet you do.
BALLISTICS DISCOVERY BY CALIFORNIA RESEARCHER INDICATES "STRETCHER BULLET THEORY" MAY BE A LIE (BECAUSE WC EXHIBIT 399 COULD NOT HAVE BEEN FIRED FROM THE CE 139 MANNLICHER-CARCANO), AND THAT APPARENTLY A DIFFERENT "EVIDENCE" BULLET WAS SUBSTITUTED BY THE GOVERNMENT
Back to Walt's study of the Warren volumes:
Walt made a mental note of the four-groove/four-land barrel configuration of the alleged murder weapon. Subsequent research by Walt showed that the four-groove barrel is standard for all Mannlicher-Carcano rifles.
Imagine Walt's surprise, then, when in Volume xvii came upon a large , clear FBI photograph of CE 399, and to his practised hunter's eye he saw that pictured on page 49 WAS NOT A FOUR-GROOVE BULLET, BUT ONE WITH MORE THAN FOUR GROOVES, POSSIBLY FIVE OR SIX!....
....In the HSCA report, Volume vii, figure 6A, he came upon the House Committee's photograph of CE 399, apparently taken by the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C.
To his astonishment, in this photo the Magic Bullet had transformed itself from the six-(or five)-groove bullet of the Warren Commission into A FOUR-GROOVE BULLETTHAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CE139 RIFLE AND THE TESTIMONY OF FRAZIER.
To Walt, this discovery was just as chilling as his first. It meant that the bullet originally pictured by the Warren Commission had disappeared, and that sometime between 1963 and 1978 THE GOVERNMENT CREATED A NEW BULLET TRACEABLE TO CE139, AND SUBSTITUTED IT AS THE "OFFICIAL" CE399!
Imagine Walt's surprise, then, when in Volume xvii came upon a large , clear FBI photograph of CE 399, and to his practised hunter's eye he saw that pictured on page 49
WAS NOT A FOUR-GROOVE BULLET, BUT ONE WITH MORE THAN FOUR GROOVES, POSSIBLY FIVE OR SIX!....
The author clearly did not fully understand what I told him.....I was particularly disgusted with this statement...." POSSIBLY FIVE OR SIX!" I never ever told him the bullet appeared to have six grooves....
I had measured the width of the land/ groove combination of the bullet in the photo ....and found it to be 4mm.
4mm X 4 = 16mm But the circumference of a 6.5 mm bullet is 20.4mm.... WHOA wait jist a doggone minute .....Sumpthin's wrong with my calculator.....
Oh now I get it....The bullet in the photo has FIVE grooves..... 5 grooves X 4mm =20mm ...... Yes the circumference of the bullet should be 20.4 mm But I believe that we can dismiss the missing .4 mm due to a bit of inaccuracy of taking the measurements from a photo......
After the article was published I wondered if the author had put that SIX grooves in there to discredit the entire presentation....Or was he simply that dumb?
Would someone please post a color photo of the CE 399 that is now in the archives....
