The assassin's rifle is an old Mauser chambered in .30-06.

It very well might be untraceable.

Mauser is an ongoing concern, and makes a mid-tier modern bolt action rifle. 6 pounds, composite stock. The gun in the FBI photo is not an antique rifle, but too blurry to defintely say it is the Mauser M18.
