Rolling Readers & Murdered Leaders

[Colin Crow]

Posted again, Colin.

A better narrative on the second go. 

In future, I'm saving original posts "text" in a WORD file on a hard drive.

Thanks Ross

Pretty sure no screws are needed for the bolt

or wooden barrel cover.

The top wooden barrel cover won't come off until the bayonet lug and the front sling holder are removed by a screwdriver.

And how does a screwdriver continue to be a factor in removing the bayonet lug after the bayonet lug has already been loosened by said screwdriver?

You have to unscrew the front sling holder after the bayonet lug again with a screwdriver.

You wouldn't be padding your list here, now would you?

No, but maybe you know your own tricks best, Chappers.

Looks like we have lost a few days postings in this thread and another complete thread that Ross (?) started with the Dan Rather paper bag recreation. Are we working off a backup from 4 days ago?

It’s deja vu, all over again.

Perhaps I can summarise the various points we may have lost from the past few days postings. My memory is not great so forgive me and please add where appropriate.

I asked if there was any evidence that the "open end" of the bag was ever sealed.

Richard Smith suggested that a fold over without fixed sealing might suffice.

Jack Nessan suggested that the sack was actually 42” in length and could have contained an assembled rifle.

JohnM suggested that the end could have been cut with scissors and therefore could have contained either a disassembled or an intact rifle.

Gary Craig provided an FBI (?) document that summarised a re-enactment with LMR that stated Oswald held the package like a baseballer would pick up and carry a bat at one end.

Ross Lidell provided a TV recreation by Dan Rather suggesting a possible solution to the Frazier observation of about 2 foot package.

During the discussion I claimed that LMR and BWF would have known Oswald was the suspect when she visited the Paine's to inform the cops of his "suspicious" package.

Who said anywhere at the start that a screwdriver was required? When it was, I noted it. I was describing what was required to break the rifle down to its least components.  Your comprehension leaves a lot to be desired.

>>> You kept part of that a secret, thus one did not get a sense of how many screws in total would be involved in this partial break-down.

Once again your comprehension lets you down. I didn't keep anything "secret". I described how to dismantle the rifle, in several steps. I'm sorry I didn't mention exactly how many screws were necessary to be removed.

No, but maybe you know your own tricks best, Chappers.

Once again. note. I didn't say you did, but insinuated the you might. Not very good at this are you?
