This video has several camera pans over Oswalds crappy Italian surplus rifle.
What caught my eye?
Hard dark the wood is now on that rifle. May have always been that dark. Well since Oswald bought it.
But look at 15:55. Close ups of that cheap Klein's sporting goods scope mount. What trash that is. Truly chintzy. The commie sure was a pinch penny. But we know it was the cheapest item on their ad page.
Ever shoot a Carcano? I have. I was given one. I gave it away. What junk. With mil-surp, factory, and hand loads, it was minute of pie plate at 50 yards. We tried. Good marksmen. Sandbagged, slow careful shots. And try, just try, to take 3 aimed shots in 5 seconds. Not happening. I had never thought much one way or the other about the Kennedy assassination, but that Carcano spoke volumes. The best snipers in the world aren't doing what they say Oswald did with a surplus unmodified Carcano.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't fire three shots. Only fired twice. That third casing was being used as a dummy round for trigger practice while he waited for JFK to show. Lots of firing pin hits on one. No one noticed during the investigation.
ReplyDeleteInteresting fact discovered years later: There were no ballistic experts involved with the Warren Commission. That would have to be a deliberate choice. What does that say?
