Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Okay, students... What's wrong with this pic the seller tells us is "just like the one Oswald used"? You may consult your notes for this quiz.

Those having the correct answer may take the rest of the semester off with a passing grade. 8-)

(This is from a live auction.) SW

Well LHO (supposably) used a M1938 Short Rifle. The one on the auction is a M1891/38 Truppe Special. What a maroon.

Yep. LHO used a short rifle - this is what's called a TS = not the same thing at all. SW

Yeah, and it's in the D letter block which very likely makes it a Navy. I hope he has lice. :-x

What, he didn't epoxy the mount on? I wonder what a propane torch does to the bluing when removal time comes around?

LHO had Winchester white box 6,5 Carcano ammo. Supposedly made for the Bay of Pigs debacle. SW
