Conservative Estimate

Conservative Estimate of the Objective Bell of rifle as carried out of TSBD.
VS.
Rifle in evidence at NARA.






Conservative Estimate Objective lens 1.25" for TSBD rifle.
1" for NARA rifle 40.2" 

It looks bigger because it was.

Compared as 36" rifle*



*only as comparison to itself not between measures as this is an assumption of measures.

To the observer something the same can actually appear different.

But here the measurement tells us it's really the same, no matter the size* rifle.

Whew! Another close one.
Crazy rifle mystery averted.

*your mileage may vary
