Here's where the rifle was found:



Here's where the rifle was found:

Wrong!....  Are you stupid and illiterate? How wide is the crack between the boxes that you have drawn the arrows to?  Two or three inches?.... How wide is the carcano with the bolt handle sticking out to the right and the scope sticking out to the left ?  (answer:  over 4 inches ) 

Can't you understand what Seymour Weitzman and Eugene Boone wrote?.....

Weitzman said that he was working his way west on the south side of the row of boxes that formed the south wall of the aisle at the top of the stairs, and he said he was down on the floor and shining his flashlight beneath the pallet when he spotted the rifle lying on the floor.   And Boone squeezed between the west wall and the row of boxes and removed a box that served as a closure for the top of a crevasse that was formed by the east/ west row of boxes that formed the south wall of the aisle at the top of the stairs.  When Boone removed the box that formed the lid he shined his light down into the dark crevasse and saw a tiny portion of the butt of the rifle that was lying on the floor.

That's a fair question. I don't actually know the date it was mailed. How does Jerry Freeman know what date it was mailed? Have you asked him?
Sorry ...

Supposedly information based on and taken from the Report.

January 28, 1962: LHO orders a .38 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver by mail.
 Should be [if it indeed happened] 1963
 March 9-10, 1963: LHO takes photographs of the home of General Edwin Walker, a right wing activist.
March 12, 1963: Ruth Paine visits Marina at the new apartment. Also that day, LHO orders a rifle from Klein's Sporting Goods in Chicago.
March 20, 1963: The rifle and the revolver are shipped
March 25, 1963: LHO picks up the weapons   
Quote
The revolver was not ordered two months before the rifle was.  Jan 27, 1963 was the date that Oswald filled out the coupon, not the date that he mailed it.
So...he filled out the coupon and let it [apparently] sit around for the 2 months you stated to earlier.
 Who does this?
Not responded to...

Also note that presumably...Lee goes over to take pictures at General Walker's before any rifle to shoot him with ever arrives.
Why in hell take pictures anyway? What purpose would it serve?

Barely one inch. The blind could see that.

Because there are 5 screws that attach the stock to the action.

And a dime is too thick to fit into the screw slots....  ( a worn dime might fit)

I get it. Did they find a dime on LHO and does it affect how he kept his prints off the rifle? Were his gloves found?

He had gloves? Do tell.
Oswald had 3 dimes on him. A dead giveaway in some quarters.

Others will disagree with 'kept his prints off'
Prints are dead easy to at least smear. The term 'unusable' comes to mind.

I guess Cunningham's dimes were 'worn'.
Or the screws were.

 ??? So, he ordered it and it took a year and two months before Seaport Traders finally got around to shipping it to him?

Maybe that's your problem. You're blind.
