Mike do you not think that silencers would be fairly interchangeable between .22 rifles. I think it highly likely any .22 silencer will fit another .22 rifle.
Yes, they are all universally threaded for that purpose, but why would somebody detach the Pargeter silencer from the barrel of his .22 bolt action 'Brno' rifle and attach it to the end of the barrel of the Bamber family owned .22 semi automatic 'Anshuzt' rifle prior to, or during the shootings?
It makes no senseAdditionally, Anthony Pargeter claimed when he was interviewed by the COLP investigators,, (1990/1991) that his .22 bolt action 'Brno' rifle wasn't event present at the farmhouse at the time of the shootings, adding that he had taken it home with him on the penultimate week-end before the shootings took place! I personally do not believe a word of what he said. I am satisfied that his .22 rifle and his 17 baffled parker hale silencer was there at the scene, and more importantly that it was used to fire some of the bullets.
As a matter of interest Pargeter told the Colp investigators, that Essex police had taken an interest in his .22 'Brno' rifle, and that police at some stage checked its condition for any damage. Nobody knows which police officers looked into whether or not it contained any damage, had blood and or if it had got red or cream coloured paint upon the end of its barrel..
Pargeyer also was licensed to keep all his firearms, accessories, and variously different kinds/ type of .22 ammunition, and live 12 bore shotgun cartridge cases at whf. He even owned some Eley .22 LR subsonic, hollow point ammunition similar to the same 500 rounds of ammunition that Mr Bamber purchased in November 1984 - he also had other manufacturers .22 ammunition, such as 'Hornet', etc..
No one has looked into the possibility that some of the ammunition used to kill all the victims, belonged either entirely, or partially belonging to Anthony Pargeter...
Where was Anthony Pargeters 17 baffle plated parker hale silencer at the time the shootings occurred?
He makes no mention of this, other that to inform the COLP investigators that David Boutflour told him that Essex police handed back a silencer to relatives early in their investigation. David Boutflour on the other hand denied ever having told Anthony Pargeter any such thing. Well, one or other, or both together cannot be being truthful on that score...
