Hey, did you know that Czarcasm was the original god-tier mod himself?!?!
Oh, you should fuck off too. That a lot of older Mausers may have been converted to either .30-06 or .223 when the reporting (with no real detail other than manufacturer and caliber) was that they recovered a Mauser chambered in .30-06 is actually relevant.
I was interested in the gun discussion, and thought it pertinent.
Gun discussion is different than “you fucking idiots use inches like an idiot would.”
I appreciated the technical discussion about guns
To continue the technical tangent (and further pissing off @Czarcasm since they apparently think we shouldn’t discuss this shit), converting an 8x57 Mauser to .30-06 or 7.62 NATO would need both changing the barrel and re-chambering. And, interestingly, also modifying the front receiver bridge if you’re converting to .30-06, which is why we can easily see whether a Mauser has been converted firstly to .30-06, or whether it was converted directly from 8x57 to 7.62 NATO).
Converting from .30-06 to 7.62 NATO would need only re-chambering. Converting from whatever to .223/5.56 NATO would need both changing the barrel and re-chambering
Oh. Damn.
It’s interesting because the upcoming question is going to be ‘Where did he get the rifle?’ and ‘It was a family hand-me-down from the 50s.’ and ‘He bought it last week.’ have very different implications.
I hope his widow remarries quickly to a decent man her children will happily call Daddy. And I hope that when they’re old enough to learn what their father believed in they’ll be disgusted.
I just was wondering because I had two 30-06s - a Japanese Howa with a polymer stock, and one of the last of the Springfields sold through the CMP. Every Mausers I’ve seen were original Kraut chambering.
If they catch this guy, and he has a big yellow bruise on his shoulder, he’s cooked.
Apparently law enforcement is now walking back / caveating the trans messaging on the casings. Again, probably best to wait for actual information not someone that leaks to Stephen Crowder.
It should be noted that ‘KILL THE TRANNYS’ is also a type of “trans messaging”.
Thanks. Filmore’s post had a much better image than what I saw earlier. Not the type of shirt worn by a typical lefty. And thank God he looks like a white guy.
Though for someone out to infiltrate a Charlie Kirk event in a small-city college in Utah, the sort of shirt that would make you look like you’re supposed to be there.
Was he in the crowd, or off in the woods when he shot Kirk, and approximately how far away was he?
How old are his kids? I guess i could Google it, but curious if anyone knows.
Per the FBI news conference this morning, he was on the roof 150-200 yards away, then jumped off the roof and discarded the rifle in the “wooded area” before passing on to the neighborhood.
Are you continuing the technical discussion? I had the impression from someone in the thread that that was frowned upon by some thread participants. Even if they didn’t have the backing from the Pit mods
Aged 3 and 1.
They won’t remember their father.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it turns out to be great-grandpa’s rifle brought back from Germany as either a trophy or souvenir, converted to .30-06 because of difficulty getting 7.92x57 compared to Army surplus .30-06, and used off and on as a deer rifle for years. Bonus to the shooter is that such a weapon would be effectively untraceable if it’s been sitting around a house in Utah for 80 years.
I mean, the man’s dead, even Trump’s FBI will probably find the shooter, and we may or may not understand a motive. Until then, might as well speculate on why such a rifle
