takes the time to wipe down the gun and hide it.

If Lee Oswald had been an assassin and he was firing that carcano from the sixth floor window.....WHEN would he have had the time needed to take the time to wipe down the gun and hide it.....?  You may recall that he was encountered in the second floor lunchroom, by officer Baker and Roy Truly just 90 seconds after the FIRST shot was fired.

When the WC attempted to re-enact the imaginary actions of Lee Oswald they started the stop watch at the sound of the FIRST shot.....  Then they imagined that all three shots had been fired in 6 seconds ( an impossible feat with that old carcano ) But, since they needed to subtract those six seconds from the time elapsed between the shooting and the time Baker and Truly saw Lee Oswald in the second floor lunchroom in reality they should have had Baker seeing that shadow in the lunchroom just 84 seconds after the shooting .....and that means Baker would have arrived at the second floor BEFORE Lee could have reached that lunchroom.

Re-enactments have Oswald taking 47 sec & 48 sec to reach the lunchroom (or at least the 2nd floor).

According to Tom Aleya, the cameraman who accompanied the search team , There was a search made “floor by floor” all the way to the roof. They found nothing at first and then they were joined by Will Fritz about 18 minutes later and began a search on the 6th floor exclusively looking for a rifle since Mooney had discovered shells at the SN window.

Now that’s 7 floors plus the roof top also= 8 floors

According to Boones watch the MC rifle was found by himself and Weitzman  at 1:22 pm.

To find the rifle at some time AFTER Fritz joined the search team 18 minutes after they completed the  1-8 floor search and begin a SECOND search of the 6th floor, (and presuming the search team doesn’t even  enter TSBD until approx 4min post shots) then ..

1:22-12:34= 48 minutes

 Fritz not arriving until 18 minutes later to begin 2nd search of just the 6th floor puts the time at 30 minutes to have searched 8 floors = 30/8= only 3.5min/floor (average)

It may even be less than that.

I’m guessing it was another 10 minutes at least after Fritz was on the 6th floor that the rifle was found, which would reduce the average search time per floor to 20/8= 2.5 minutes per flloor in order that a rifle could be found at 1:22pm.

This seems a bit suspect to me that each floor was thoroughly searched in only 2.5 minutes/floor.

Therefore I have to question about the time when the MC rifle was found and if the 1:22pm time stamp is erroneous or false

If so, then the post planting of an MC rifle has some plausibility and might explain the anomalous bolt not locked, misaligned scope and location of the rifle at boxes close to the staircase and lapse of time between a partial photo taken and Tom Aleya allowed to start motion camera recording.

It appears that you must believe that there was only one team searching one floor at a time. Where do you come up with that idea?

You're lying. Otherwise you'd be all-to-eager to help yourself disprove Iacoletti's 'Walt's Fabrications' list

There were 2 re-enactments -- 47 sec -- & 48 sec -- with no great rush.
U can ignore the WC 78 sec or whatever re-enactment -- according to their film Oswald was slowly mincing along & stopping to smell flowers.
