The WC concluded that Oswald was the shooter of JFK and Tippit, and presented a detailed record regarding the provenance of his rifle/long gun and his hand gun.
Oddly, they presented, no evidence regarding his acquisition of ammunition.
Where, how, and why Oswald allegedly acquired Western Cartgridge Company (WCC) bullets manufactured for the US military in 1954 has never been determined.
Perhaps our resident experts wish to chime in with explanations?
Thx.
According to CE 2694, only two local gun shops sold this ammunition and neither one believed that they ever sold any to Oswald.
Thx for the input, Mr P and Mr I.
Could I get a citation for the "2 million" sold story, please, if you have one, Mr. P? Thx.

In CT Wonderland, nothing is knowable or provable.In Warren Commission wonderland, there's an explanation for everything.
Could I get a citation for the "2 million" sold story...Oswald only managed to be "linked" [by some DPD/FBI/WC decree] out of all those millions of 6.5 ammo... to only four bullets :-\

Except:
Oswald's bullets.
Oswald "ordering" one long gun, yet receiving a different one.
Altgens describing a shot directly in front of him, yet Warren Commission ignoring him as a witness, while utilizing his photograph as evidence.
Like clockwork. When Chapman has no coherent argument for his position he always falls back on "Oswald lover".
Taking a knee in front of Oswald is all anyone has to know about your presence here.
The ad pictured a considerably-shortened M91 Carcano rifle (the original one produced in large quantities during WWI). Klein's was no more shipping those rifles in early-1963 than they were the 36" model, because the price in the ad was for the 40" model.
"I was prepared to make a picture at the very instant the President
was shot. I had refocused to 15 feet because I wanted a good
closeup of the President and Mrs. Kennedy, and that's why I know
that it would be right at 15 feet, because I had prefocused in that area,
and I had my camera almost to my eye when it happened and that's
as far as I got with my camera."

Altgens is on far-right; his camera bag is on the grass. The approximate location of the head shot is represented above by Z312, which is a clearer frame.
Altgens seems a bit off with his claim of being 15 feet from the head shot.
Altgens also claimed he was 30 feet from the President when he snapped his photo. But Liebeler wasn't buying it.
Liebeler: "I'm having trouble on this Exhibit No. 203 understanding how
you could have been within 30 feet of the President's car when you took
Commission Exhibit No. 203 and within 15 feet of the car when he was
hit with the last shot in the head without having moved yourself. Now,
you have previously indicated that you were right beside the President's
car when he was hit in the head."
Altgens: "Well, I was about 15 feet from it."
Liebeler: "But it was almost directly in front of you as it went down the
street; isn't that right?"
Altgens: "Yes."
