Charlie Kirk assassin's alleged gun was powerful, vintage and hard to trace

3. OK More of this official story is BS. If this was a WWII German rifle it is a 7.92x57mm Mauser.

For those not in the know, that is not a 1903 Springfield 30 06 (7.62×63mm) as used in the U.S Garand of WWII. The 30 06 is a very common large caliber hunting rifle available in a large number of designs.

While Mauser ammunition is scarce and expensive it is still available. Could the rifle have been rechambered? Possibly, but it would require very specialized gunsmithing. Also, the picture I saw was not a WWII configuration Mauser. It is possible that someone could have converted it to a "sporter" configuration. It is just not the kind of weapon Joe Average would have and use. However, it certainly could have been a grandpa's souvenir.

Of all the law enforcement agencies out there, I would expect the FBI to be able to tell the difference and report it accurately. Oh, yeah, the FBI is busy chasing down brown people.

These people need to get their stories straight.

Epstein, Kirk, Epstein, Kirk, Epstein, Kirk Americans want to know.
