Amidst all the garbage surrounding the introduction of the sound moderator in its various disguises of SBJ/1, SJ/1, DB/1 and DRB/1, very little attention has been paid to the recovery of the end piece of the anshuzr rifles barrel, known more commonly as the 'metal End Cap' which is normally screwed onto the thread on the end of the guns barrel. It is part of the barrel, which is detachable.. Not many people know this, but this metal end cap belonging to the rifle was found downstairs in the kitchen on 8th August 1985. It was only found once police had brought a metal detector to the scene on that date to help them look for discarded bullet cases. It was found in the kitchen, along with as it turns out to be, Ralph Bambers wrist watch. The most interesting feature concerning the recovery of this metal ene cap,bwas that it appeared to have got some reddish brown paint, or blood ingrained into the engrained circumference of it. Discovery of this end cap, prompted Ron Cook to take 2 paint samples (RC/1 and RC/2) on the 8th August 1985 from thebred painted aga surround on that particular day, and hand these 2 paint samples to DS Davidson at the scene that same day, because of the contamination found upon the aforementioned end cap from the rifles barrel. There can be no doubt that at that stage the police were as sure as they could be that the rifles metal end cap had become detached in the kitchen after it had possibly come into contact with the red painted aga, or as a result of it having at some stage been fitted to the barrel at the time one or more contact shots had been fired at victims, particularly Ralph Banner who's body was also found in the same main kitchen...
