No, you have it wrong. Oswald was probably a decent shot had he practiced, which all sharpshooters must do to keep sharp. If Oswald knew he was going to take some shots at the POTUS it was imperative that he was well practiced and familiar with a reliable rifle. The fact that Oswald was a military marksman meant he knew what would increase his odds of success. This included:

1) Get a Mauser, not a MC (which was probably only a few bucks more, but much more reliable. The MC tended to jam almost every clip)
2) Practice practice practice...then practice some more.
3) Sight-in your scope (the fact that it wasn't implies that Oswald never practiced with the rifle)
4) Do NOT disassemble/reassemble the rifle or you will have to zero the sights in the TSBD.
5) Remove the misaligned scope from the rifle if you don't intend to use it. It takes up less space in the paper bag and it's just in the way if you intend to use the iron sights.

A preponderance of the evidence implies that Oswald never took a shot with the MC. I still haven't got a satisfactory answer from the LNers how Oswald managed to not get a single print on the rifle's stock, bolt, barrel, scope, trigger, clip, shells and strap after he disassembled/reassembled the rifle and supposedly fired it 3 times. Why doesn't that give you LNers pause?

Because you LNers have been carrying the conspirators water for 56 years now. Congrats!

A preponderance of the evidence implies that Oswald never took a shot with the MC.

That's right, Jack....  And furthermore the preponderance of the FACTUAL evidence ( See 15 feet 4 inches) indicates that the carcano was never fired that day.

I don't believe he had any more interest in shooting than most of this membership.
There may be some readers here who have pistols they never shoot.
Anyway here is one I don't recall ever seeing before...Final Compost--by David Belin
What could he have added that wasn't in the Report [duplicated by You are the Jury]??

"No usable prints found where they would normally expect to be found, and removed, suggests that the shooter took a few seconds to wipe down said areas... "

Does this include taking time to collect the bullet shells from their various positions in the SN, and wiping them clean, Chappers?
And how do you load a clip with bullets without getting either thumb or fingerprint on the shells? Use gloves? ;D

What makes you think he had a need to wipe the shell casings

Is that just a silly question with no question mark?

Who would be doing the blaming/framing in this case other than the conspirators?

Cops?  Wade?  Warren Commission?

From the CT POV: Oswald was a crappy shot with a crappy rifle and ammo. Do I have that right so far?
If so, I'd ask how would any framers would go about convincing anyone that he was believable as killer.

I don't know how the WC would go about convincing anyone that he was believable as killer either.
