Just presenting the facts. From FBI and WC.

John, would you care to address my response to your#8 reply?

Irrelevant.
Ad shows only 40" rifle at 7.5 lbs.  Per Mr. Organ.

Immaterial.

Incidentally, what is the premise of your poorly worded Subject?

The ad shows the weight of the rifle, when shipped.  What Oswald did with it later is not the subject at hand.
CE 2562 shows the weight of 100 rifles, and carton, on their way to Klein's.  Long before C2766 ( allegedly) reaches Oswald.

My apologies for "poor wording".

No premise. Just facts.

The carton and rifles weighed 750 lbs. The 40" rifle weighed 7.5 lbs, in the ad provided by Mr. Organ.

100 x 7.5 = 750. Plus weight of carton.

CE 2562 is quite informative.

The ad shows the weight of the rifle to be 7 lbs.

100 x 7 = 700

Historically the Carcano M91/38 "Short Rifle" variant averages about 7.5 ibs.

Scroll right.  40" Carcano,  model 91/38.  7.5 lbs.

That's not Klein's ad. Klein's advertised the 40 inch rifle as weighing only 7 lbs.



100 x 7 = 700
