Oswald's was NOT accurate. Nor would yours be without practice and a properly attached scope. Oswald's came with the scope improperly attached it did not become messed up AFTER the FBI had it.

There is not ONE witness who reported him practicing shooting the gun. Not ONE who can point to a purchase of ammo for it. Not one who ever saw bullets for it. The only bullets ever claimed to be with it were those fired and I believe one unfired at the TBD.

As a shooter you know very well that rifles with scopes moved hundreds of miles over a period of months will not be accurate without a proper sighting of the scope and recalibration of the sights. This was never the case with the MC. And it wasn't even in a case to protect it just tossed around in a blanket although no one ever actually saw it during these travels.

The FBI received it from the Dallas PD with the scope improperly attached. The Dallas PD had removed the scope during a check for fingerprints, and did not reattach it properly. Prior to the Dallas PD f***ing it up, it was attached properly (the Dallas PD did not put the shims back onto the scope mount).

Incorrect; there are several witnesses who saw him shooting the weapon at a rifle range near Dallas. He was described as a Grade-A a$$hole.

Not ONE who can point to a purchase of ammo for it.

Possession is 9/10ths of the law.

Not one who ever saw bullets for it. The only bullets ever claimed to be with it were those fired and I believe one unfired at the TBD.

And that's evidence enough.

And it was boresighted by Mr. Oswald.
