It's hard to buy the sack story when the rifle found isn't even the same one as in the backyard photo. If there was 2 rifles then there had to be some funny Helicopter
going on. Just look at the shoulder straps for both and you'll see the difference.
And his rifle was supposed to be brand new, right? Yet the Military said it was barely functional.
The experts from the US Army and the FBI who had tested the rifle discovered that it was actually not usable in its original state:
1. Shims had to be applied to the telescopic sight before the rifle could be aimed
2. Even after the telescopic sight had been repaired, it proved unreliable and inaccurate
3. The condition of both the bolt and the trigger pull meant that the rifle could not be aimed accurately
The rifle discovered on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository could not have caused any of the wounds to Kennedy, Connally or Tague, except by accident.
“They [the US Army marksmen] could not sight the weapon in using the telescope, and no attempt was made to sight it in using the iron sight. We did adjust the telescopic sight by the addition of two shims, one which tended to adjust the azimuth, and one which adjusted an elevation”: Warren Commission Hearings, vol.3, p.443.
According to the FBI’s firearms specialist, “Every time we changed the adjusting screws to move the crosshairs in the telescopic sight in one direction it also affected the movement of the impact or the point of impact in the other direction. … We fired several shots and found that the shots were not all landing in the same place, but were gradually moving away from the point of impact.”: Warren Commission Hearings, vol.3, p.405.
Problems with the bolt and the trigger mechanism: “There were several comments made — particularly with respect to the amount of effort required to open the bolt. … There was also comment made about the trigger pull … in the first stage the trigger is relatively free, and it suddenly required a greater pull to actually fire the weapon.”: Warren Commission Hearings, vol.3, p.449.
“The pressure to open the bolt was so great that that we tended to move the rifle off the target.”: ibid., p.451.
Does that sound like a new rifle to anyone?
And something else that makes no sense... Oswald was a trained Marine. Doesn't anyone think a Marine would find a better spot, like the roof? Oswald could have easily gone to the roof. It's a better view, not to mention concealment. It just doesn't make sense.
If the rifle was Bs, then the bag was Bs too.
