Or how the rifle was first identified by several police investigators as a "7.65 Mauser" (from clear barrel markings on the weapon)

That ran for a day and a half before someone realized that they dropped the wrong bullet on John Connolly's gurney.

That little video was interesting.

I once had a 91 Belgian Mauser and it does resemble the Carcano but not that much. You can immediately tell what it is by seeing the markings.

Odd that they would keep saying that for more than a day.

It was a 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carnao.
