Well reasoned analysis. I haven't time to watch the video at this moment, but will asap.
I will point out that it is facile and common to put new stocks on old rifles, and Mauser long action .30-06 are extremely common and widely used for hunting, so there are an inexhaustible supply of hardware for improving their utility, new scopes, trigger systems, stocks, and more are very commonly used to replace the original milspec furniture.
I have shot an elk in the spine with a .30-06. The spine was shattered and became shrapnel that actually killed the elk by penetrating the heart with multiple slivers of bone, as also appeared to have happened to Charlie Kirk. However, the elk vertebrae are ~5x larger and more robust than human bone, and anyone familiar with hunting with the .30-06 will find it incredible that there is claimed to be no exit wound from a neck shot. All the energy of the bullet was delivered to the vertebrae and the energy was directed towards the back of the neck, which makes the claim that no shards of bone exited the skin in that direction utterly unbelievable.
Then there's an acoustic analysis of the report of the shot, which indicates that the shot was taken from <100 feet from Charlie Kirk. The speed of sound is an extremely reliable metric, and the video in the wild has that information that anyone can check for themselves.

None of the information that I have seen supports Tyler Robinson being the shooter - other than unverifiable (and almost certainly fabricated by the FBI) text messages. Visual examination of the pics and video the FBI claims was Robinson carrying the rifle do not show the rifle in the possession of Robinson. The acoustic analysis contradicts the claim Robinson shot from the Losee Center roof. The complete BS about the injury to Charlie Kirk, and the lack of crime scene investigative procedures absolutely discounts the claims that the FBI is rigorously analyzing and investigating the murder, and strongly suggests they are sacrificing a patsy to cover for the real conspiracy that assassinated Charlie Kirk.
However, all of this is completely overshadowing the fact that three hours before Charlie Kirk was murdered spectacularly and the conspiracy theorists are being deliberately cranked up to 11, the US Congress voted against releasing the Epstein files, and the Republican Party was decisive in voting to keep that litany of crimes against humanity that clearly corrupts US government. I don't think that was the motive to kill Charlie Kirk, but the completely shoddy FBI patsy sacrifice may well be motivated by the fact it prevents discussion of the fact that Trump and other US politicians are being blackmailed by Israel because they're child molesters.
Thanks!
Edit: I went to view the video that I didn't have the time to this morning, and clicked on the pic at the top, but it doesn't link to the video. As far as I can tell, there isn't a link to your Substack video in the entire post. It's not that hard to do. I realize you're between video you can just post in the blog, but just making a link isn't hard to do, and I carefully explained a comment or two ago. I can explain it again, if you would like me to.
Re-edit: I am watching the video now, and want to correct some information I think is inaccurate. First, it has long been common and standard practice to provide serial numbers on firearms, even prior to WWI. I have never seen a Mauser action rifle without a serial number, and I have owned several and used more. Second, the description of vertebrae as one of the weakest bones is bullshit. Perhaps the hips are stronger, but vertebrae and the spine are one of the strongest bones in the body. Cartilage isn't hard, but it is very robust and it is it's elasticity that adds to the robustness of the spine. The very strong vertebrae connected by very strong and slightly flexible cartilage make the structure extremely resistance to damage.
I dunno what Alex Jones is babbling about. When I shot the elk in the spine with a .30-06, the bullet and the vertebra exploded. I didn't do a forensic examination, but I did have to remove the bullet and bone fragments from the meat of the backstraps, heart, and liver, and absolutely confirm there were exit wounds as a result. While I completely refute the claim that vertebrae are weak bones - again, the spine is perhaps the strongest bone in the body of mammals - I completely agree that it is impossible that there was no exit wound to the back of the neck. There certainly was on the elk I shot in the spine, and the elk spine is ~5x larger and more robust than the human spine. That bone strapped to the test dummy is far weaker than vertebrae, much thinner walled. I found an elk vertebra yesterday hunting elk, and the central cylindrical part of the vertebra is almost solid bone over 2" thick. The wall of long bones is a fraction of that thickness, and accordingly less robust. The cartilage increases the strength of the spine to resist shock by acting as a shock absorber, like rubber tires, grommets, and bushings in automobile suspension. By connecting vertebrae elastically, discs of cartilage increase the shock resistance of the solid bone by spreading the force, just like the kevlar fibers do in a chest plate in body armor. Kevlar isn't the hardest substance. Diamond is, but diamond would make terrible bullet proof armor because it's brittle. Kevlar is used because it isn't brittle, but does flex a little, and this enables fibers of it to transmit the shock to the rest of the plate, and that is also how cartilage works in our spines.
That didn't stop the .30-06 from creating an exit wound when I shot an elk in the spine, and it wouldn't stop a .30-06 from creating an exit wound in a human being. Your assessment of the exit wound is spot on. The spine would not have been able to support the weight of the head after being struck - at best - and only the soft tissue would have potentially remained connecting the head to his body.
As to the drop, it's immaterial, essentially amounting to a flat shot from that distance. The bullet travels in an arc even when you are level with your target, so adding a small vertical drop to that arc isn't materially relevant.
The essential fact in this case is that Charlie Kirk was not shot by Tyler Robinson with a .30-06 from >100 yards, because Tyler Robinson didn't have a .30-06 on that rooftop if those pics and video are him going up the stairs and jumping down. Both the lack of an exit wound and the acoustic analysis further support this conclusion, as well as all the bullshit the FBI is claiming about changing clothes, breaking down the rifle, reassembling the rifle while leaving it behind, and the ridiculous text exchange with Tyler's BFF.
Good point about the stock - i did not think of them just switching it out for a modern one - i guess that does happen. i really don't know enough about guns to say.
About the sound - I have listened to the various reports people have done on the sound of the shot, and how they have charted distances with acoustics - that is interesting. As you say, it enables people to figure out where the shot came from. A lot of people are saying that the shot came from his left - which as you say, adds to the other evidence that supports the fact that Tyler was likely not the shooter.
There is not a lot of evidence that points to him of course. The only thing is his alleged confession to his father. Strangely he only just got appointed a public defender - two weeks after the event. I would assume this is a high anomaly. However, I will have to look further into that.
About the Epstein files - yes, you are 100% -- that is very interesting. And also everyone has forgotten that there are many videos which have Kirk talking about how they need to be released - its interesting how his image and what he said has been reconfigured once he died - he now supports things that he was against for instance and things he supported have disappeared.
About the linking to the video - i have it setup to link in the next post hopefully it works!
Thanks for the correction on the fire arms - about the neck etc., and Alex jones - he seems to done a 180 on it and now thinks it could not happen - it was shocking actually, when I was watching how much of a 180 it was because he seemed convinced.
Thanks!
I think AJ, Patel, Trump, Netanyahu, and the entire Russian mob dependent psyops/propaganda crew are flailing about, seeking to push the narrative demanded by the mob and serially forced to abandon each particular line of argument as they are rejected by the market - society. However, since all of that push and fall back continues to obscure the Epstein blackmail that is the fundamental power of the Russian mob, the process itself is working beautifully to maintain that power because we're talking about anything else.
The blackmail of child molesters being the mechanism that controls the world is the fundamental power every rabbit hole leads to, and only successfully dealing with that will enable any other political power to even exist, much less succeed.
