Reenactments showed that an average shooter could have made those shots. Oswald practiced at a range with the scoped 6.5 mm Carcano and it was zeroed. It was a mail-order rifle but an accurate piece. Oswald was a Marine marksman. First I've heard the rifle was "buried". Underground? This is all evidenced by several books on the subject. Where are you getting your facts?

Marina claimed it had been buried after the Walker assassination attempt.

Any reenactments were not with this rifle and the FBI tests showed that it was in terrible shape so that they were afraid to shoot it for fear of the firing pin flying back in the face of the shooter.

The WC tried to duplicate the shots with expert riflemen shooting at stationary targets. It failed to do so.

It was not accurate because shims had to be placed under the sight for it to be accurate.

There is no evidence that LHO ever practiced with it. That charade at the shooting range was to bring attention to him
by his Deep State handlers. Just as the episode at the auto dealership.

Even when brand new the MC was a piece of crap. It was called “the Mercy Rifle” by the Italian soldiers because it was so inaccurate.

My information comes from dozens of book including the apologists and the WCR and exhibits.

Sylvia Meager show just how duplicitous that report was.

The WCR is a monumental Lie.

One should keep in mind that the Carcano was the offficial
rifle of the Italian Olympic team before the war.

The fact that he mail ordered the Carcono is why we have the Gun Control act of 1968 that doesn’t let us order firearms by mail.

The picture of Oswald with a rifle and Communist literature makes me think of an ante-Antifa member. Same Communism, different eras.
