The LHO Escape -- Panic and Shock

And here's the April American Rifleman Kleins ad.

Who cares what the add in April was? By then the BY photos had already been taken, if the official narrative is to be believed.

In North America, issues of monthly magazines tend to be off by one or more months. See here for reference:

In the case of American Rifleman, the April issue was delivered at the beginning of March. As such, the Klein's ad shows the status of Klein's inventory for March, 1963. Anyone who ordered C20-T750 in March was ordering a 40" long rifle.

Thanks, John. You handled it better than I would have. Don't want anybody thinking I believed Waldman lied under oath or some shadowy figures forged microfilm.

BTW, I wonder how many people thought those ads in the back of 1960s magazines were 100% reliable or up-to-date. They must have been disappointed when their X-Ray Specs didn't work or the ants on the Ant Farm weren't wearing overalls. It's like Ralphy slugging gallons of Ovaltine so he could get his Orphan Annie Secret Society Decoder Pin.

They must have been disappointed when their X-Ray Specs didn't work or the ants on the Ant Farm weren't wearing overalls.

Or when their newly hatched brine shrimp didn't build castles, rarely smiled and looked nothing like the Magazine ad.

No it doesn't. At best it shows what they were offering for the month of April 1963.

The February issue showed what they were offering at that time and that's the rifle that was allegedly ordered by Hidell.

Anyone who ordered C20-T750 in March was ordering a 40" long rifle.

Where in the February ad for a 36" rifle does it say that rifles ordered in March would be filled by 40" rifles on offer in April?

Silly, right? Well, that's how idiotic your argument is!

Ouch, Too bad Oswald ordered and paid for C20-T750 the following month, in mid March!
February < March!





You walked right into that one, didn't you, better luck next time!!

Please go back and read the Wikipedia link I posted. It will explain what you refuse to understand. The "April" issue of American Rifleman appeared on newsstands and in mailboxes at the beginning of March.

What a fool. If I order something from a February ad, I expect either the merchandise that was advertised or a notification that the item is no longer available.

I don't expect to be sent an item that isn't what I ordered and isn't advertised until April 1963

Nobody cares what you expect!

Oswald ordered C20-T750 and Oswald received C20-T750.



Live with it!
