More Retards down the Stairs

Charles and a couple of U Boyz got it 1/2 right. Actually from a Shell Casing you can determine the EXACT gun that fired it. Simply each extractor and Firing Pin leave unique marks on a Shell Casing the same as each persons Finger Prints ar unique to that indivdual. However this is only discernable under microscope.

Several years back the National Park service compared Shells Casings found at the Battle of the LIttle Big Horn and compared them to Shell Casing that were taken from various guns that were suspected to have been at the Battle. To date they have identified 15 guns that were at the Battle. Three of the Guns that were in a Private Collection were sold at auction, selling for just over $1M. At the time the Winchester 66 that was sold, made a World Record for a Winchester...$687,000.00.
