Wait, so now you’re trusting Roger Craig on something?
Isn't it obvious to you that Craig was simply recalling the scene in his mind. Do you think a liar lies 100% of the time?
As I've said many times....It's a shame that Craig lied so much, because he destroyed his credibility, and he may have had some very useful information, just as he recalled seeing the rifle lying ON THE FLOOR at the bottom of a cavern of boxes of books.
Craig:.....
The Scope was facing north the bolt facing upwards and the trigger south. Craig was right.... that is exactly the position the rifle was in when Lt Day picked up the rifle FROM THE FLOOR.
In the News paper interview he told the reporter that he handled the rifle.....
FP..Did you handle the rifle?
Craig..... Yes I did , That's a double Whopper!! Craig never touched the rifle ..... If he had he would have said I saw the make of the rifle Stamped right there on the barrel when I had the rifle in my hands. And it said 7.65 mauser.....So I knew what kind of rifle it was.
FP..Did you handle the rifle?
RC Yes I did , I couldn't give it's name, because I don't know foreign rifles. I know that it was foreign made, and you loaded it downward into a built in clip.
The ID man took it and ejected one live round from it. The Scope was facing north the bolt facing upwards and the trigger south.
