Interesting that he states the rifle was 'not particularly well oiled' which could explain the lack of gun oil on Sheila's nightdress!!

Morning Mike,
In the Arlidge examination of Pargeter, on page5, at C
Question: "Did you meet anybody as you went............
       Pargeter answers: ".......Jeremy took the Anschutz with him. I went to the back of the barn to zero 'IT' in.

To obviate ambiguity and obfuscation, can you confirm that by 'IT', Pargeter must actually be referring to his own Bruno Bolt Action .22 Rifle?

Hi campion,

Yes, Pargeter was referring to zeroing in his .22 Bruno bolt action rifle, having recently purchased a brand new telescopic site for it...

[Patti]

A couple of things I picked up on was that AP said that ammunition was kept in the cupboard left of the AGA.

He also recollects being behind the barn with Jeremy in 1984??? and that he used the gun sights and not a telescope...

Mike is there any documented evidence that Sheila did attend a shoot?  I know it has been said that CC says he attended a shoot with Sheila as beaters.,....

That's something worth noting too.

[guest154]

Not worth noting really, since he is talking about when he saw it and not the night or the murders.

Nice to see you, Matt.     Hop you are well and Snugsnug under the rug, or should I say Carpet?

Not worth noting really, since he is talking about when he saw it and not the night or the murders.

The same logic must then therefore apply regarding AP stating that the sound moderator and sights were attached when he saw the rifle?

Yup.

[No-Bits]

In fact this may be clearer.

[lookout]

I seem to remember having mentioned this not so long ago. That after so many shots,the rifle would have to be cleared of " soot " ( debris ),then oiled.Due to this procedure not having been done,there'd have been no oil to protect the workings of the inside of the rifle,leaving it in a " dried-out " state thus not producing the said residue that was missing from Sheilas' nightdress.
The manner in which the rifle was fired WOULD leave it hot ( overheated ) enough to burn flesh,and would have shown a discolouration on the metal too,not to mention the damage to the overall efficiency when firing.

My theory is that Sheila could possibly have attempted to clean the inside using the tampax ( which she was using herself at the time ) I honestly couldn't imagine Jeremy cleaning it out that way on account of fibres getting into the workings ! There would have been a proper " tool " for pulling through,of which there was no sign of.

So in a fit of psychosis, she stops to clean the rifle?

No-------------she attempts. Two different phrases. The " plugs " were already there,available.
