Considering the government showed us a pic of a rifle with a plastic stock and a mismounted scope in an evidence box, then said it dated back to one or the other of the World Wars when plastic stocks didn't exist, then claimed the rifle they showed us wasn't even the rifle, I'd say the .30-06 rifle itself is looking pretty improbable.
But hey. If you want to spend the next three years looking for weird rounds to shoot out of this improbable firearm, I won't stop you.
Well you certainly were right about one thing, that I haven't been following this very closely, because I certainly missed that
That is pretty funny
I haven't been following this thread or all of the speculation, but I assumed someone had pointed out that it is common to change stocks, especially on old rifles like that. The original stocks on those old high powered military rifles were large, wood, and heavy. When converted to hunting rifles, modern plastic (synthetic) stocks are often put on to reduce weight and maybe make them more weather resistant. No one wants to lug around the original vintage rifle.
