    The magic bullet.

    A bullet from the JFK assassination found on the stretcher has been characterized as being magic. For 60 years people have claimed the bullet was almost pristine and have laughed at the Warren findings.

    I wonder why people believe that a brass covered STEEL cored bullet would be damaged if it was run over by a Bud Light truck!

    The bullets used by Oswald had been pulled from steel cored military issued ammo and reused in non corrosive rounds. I have a clone of the Oswald rifle put together by a excellent gunsmith including the offset scope.

    That brings up the theory that Oswald could not have hit anything using the cheap scope. But, who knows he did not use the open sights? With my cloned Carcano, I could easily hit hit a milk jug at 70-80 yards, 3 rounds in 6 seconds using the steel cored bullets and either the scope or the open sights.

    22 Nov 2023 will be the 60th anniversary of the event.

    and I will have turned 60 before that,

    I was almost 2 months old when that happened,



    I had no idea Oswald rifle clones were a thing until I bought one in an estate, and it was the first one sold, and the one firearm that drew more interest than any I had,

      I remember seeing those Carcano's (with a scope) for $20 back then along with many other rifles sold as surplus at similar prices.

        I remember that day well. I had just got hired at J.I.Case Co. and heard it on the car radio on the way home.
        I also remember that the Warren Commission that investigated the murder saying it would be 50 years before anything else would be made public about it. Wonder what they were holding back?

          I heard 75 years. Maybe (if true) that would only be certain files. They wanted that generation to be gone. A lot of cover-up it would seem.
