President John F Kennedy was murdered by Lee Harvey Oswald who thought up the plan completely on his own with a day to plan the crime and he did it with a perfectly capable surplus Italian military rifle.
Case Closed!
Thanks.
I forgot where, but I’ve heard that theory.
Oswald was initially arrested because he shot and killed Dallas police officer JD Tippit in front of about a dozen witnesses. Any idea why Oswald did that?
I presume you are joking.

some comments on the Carcano..

You’ll see tons of British Enfields, and tons of US Springfields, but Carcanos are kind of like the Japanese Arisaka guns. They are really rough-working and don’t function well. And while this rifle can’t be taken as an example of what Oswald experienced on the 6th floor of the book depository, especially 50 years later, it wouldn’t be surprising if he experienced at least some of the problems with his gun that this rifle has. During the 1960s, most gun shops had literally barrels filled with Carcanos selling for $10-$20. They aren’t good guns.
