Mr. Frazier. To the right.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you estimate how many types of rifle would produce, on a 6.5 mm. bullet, four lands and four grooves, right twist, with the width of lands and grooves which you established as being those on this bullet?
Mr. Frazier. Only from experience, I could say that it would be relatively few which would agree with all of those characteristics. I have, of course, not seen or measured all of the foreign rifles, and therefore I could not estimate the number that there might be.
Mr. Eisenberg. Did you find any miscroscopic characteristics or other evidence which would indicate that the bullet was not fired from 139?
Mr. Frazier. No, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg. Were you able to determine the depth of the grooves of the bullet?
Mr. Frazier. The bullet, 573, had what appeared to be normal-depth grooves.
However, this bullet is completely flattened due to hitting a plaster or cement or other hard material on one side, and the opposite side, as a result of the flattening—has assumed a concave appearance, which has stretched the surface in various places and changes its overall appearance—that is the basis for actually having to state that there were not enough unmutilated marks for identification purposes on it.
Mr. Eisenberg. But you do conclude that this was fired from a Mannlicher-Carcano 91/38, or a rifle with similar barrel characteristics?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir.
