Where is your proof the scope was removed?

I never once insisted the rifle was dropped to the floor. I presented the idea that it may have been dropped affecting the scope alignment.

Since Oswald would never own the rifle again.
He didn't have a lot of time to get to the breakroom.
Because the rifle wasn't at the window.
Because it was surrounded by boxes.

Check my posts.

To: Shooter 2.5
Your immediately prior post claimed just that. "Dropping it onto a floor from a three feet height would affect the accuracy..." But the scope had a bigger problem than that as FBI agent Frazier testified. He said it had a "defect" and was mounted without possibility of accurate sighting. Army ordinance people had to repair it before it could be used.

But the real point is there was no chance for Oswald to sight-in the scope after all the moving around the country in car trunks and after the rifle was disassembled and reassembled. But I guess it takes a "magic gun" with "magic sights" to shoot a "magic bullet."
