Oy! Well, at least it's not going to be mistaken for an original Canadian sniper rifle.

Why????????
A while back there was two threads that persisted on jouster, one about a probably mythical JC sniper rifle that belonged to a forum member which had an imaginary highly illustrious history, it was an exaggeration based on grandfathers rifle brought home from the war that was used to kill Hitler kind of story, trouble is that it also had a grain or two of truth to it and I never found out which was what.
The other story was about a scoped JC that was stolen in the US/Canada and a number of members from different forums really put some effort into tracking it, the story was taken quite seriously but I came on the scene after it had begun and never quite got the core details. I wonder if I've accidentally had a picture of it in my computer the whole time. I have no idea where I found this picture, possibly at an auction sight.
A lot of jouster members are here these days and I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the whole thing, hence my tongue in cheek post.
If I remember it was "Goo's" story and as you say seemed to be very convoluted and involved shooting Hitler on the D-day beaches just off North Africa in 1955 (yes 55 - not a typo) or some such.
Maybe Goo is still alive and well and someone may get the question passed to him.
Yep, thats the story, lol, a load of fun ...
OK - I've 'bitten the bullet' and contacted Goo and asked him to either post the story up on here or let me have it to post - lets see what happens.
And while you're talking to him Al, ask him to come here and publish some more of those absolutely stunning airoplane pics
