feel free to suggest what else the 'something narrow' could have been.
Michael Paine said he thought it was camping equipment and he actually held the blanket and moved it around several times?.
Are you saying he was wrong?
My ask was for suggestions for what the 'something narrow' could have been
And all-of-a-sudden that suddenly gets me accused of calling Mr. Paine a liar.
Talk about jumping to conclusions.
Paine changed his mind or at least started to doubt it was camping gear, IIRC
He also estimated your tag-team buddy's pipe to be 37"
Pretty close to a broken down 38.4" Carcano.
Seems you've just shot yourself in the foot
