Nitpicky Question About The Bag

[Jerry Freeman]

I know without any doubt and from personal experience..... 

But that is overruled by advanced conjecture, expert guesswork and professional speculation.

I know without any doubt and from personal experience , that the wood of the military carcano is no more rough than the heavy brown paper, and cardboard that the police and FBI said they found prints on.   IMO the wooden stock of the carcano is actually smoother than the brown paper.

Which Carcano? Yours?

Why argue and make a bigger fool of yourself?.... When you can go to any gun shop and look at the old WWII military rifles....NONE of them have "ROUGH" wooden stocks....None of them have highly polished stocks ( because that surface would reflect sunlight and that could spell disaster for the soldier carrying the weapon.)

You don't really expect that Chapman would do some actual research, do you?

No....That was silly of me.    But I felt compelled to refute the statement that the stock of the carcano was ROUGH wood.....  when in fact it is SMOOTH.

It's sad to think that poor little Hungarian boy had to take the rap.

It's sad to think that poor little Hungarian American boy ( Who fancied himself to be a budding Herb Phibrick , and thought that he was working undercover for the FBI)  had to take the rap.

You forgot pompous arrogance...... which allows the elitist to believe that he is far superior to the average person.....which LBJ called piss ants.
