Mr. Cunningham. No; I did not so testify. You asked if you could fire another 6.5-mm. cartridge other than the cartridge——
Mr. Eisenberg. I asked if that cartridge, if a Western manufacture 6.5-mm. Mannlicher-Carcano cartridge could be fired in a gun other than the 6.5-mm. Mannlicher-Carcano. And you said, as I recall it, "It could only be fired from a gun chambered for that cartridge."
Mr. Cunningham. That is correct. That 6.5-mm. Mannlicher-Carcano cartridge could only be fired in a weapon that is chambered for that particular cartridge. Further we have never found another cartridge that this particular type bullet has been loaded into.
Mr. Eisenberg. Have you any reason to believe there is another 6.5-millimeter rifle manufactured that is chambered for that cartridge?
Mr. Cunningham. None that I know of. Maybe I misunderstood you. You mean, if the weapon is chambered for a 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano, then that is commonly known as its caliber?
Mr. Eisenberg. Yes.
Mr. Cunningham. But you can rechamber weapons for another cartridge, as they do all the time with the military surplus Springfield rifles. You can have them rebarreled and rechambered.
Mr. Eisenberg. Apart from rechambering, talking just about original manufacture, do I understand that the only weapon which you have encountered, the only 6.5 millimeter weapon you have encountered which would fire the particular type of cartridge which is Exhibit 573 is the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle?
Mr. Cunningham. Yes, sir; the various models of it.
Mr. Eisenberg. Okay.
