CD, that is not quite accurate.
Evica is coming at the rifle mystery from a different angle, the Riva modification.
What Gil is doing is approaching it more from Armstrong's POV, namely that the FBi knew that that rifle was never picked up by Oswald at the post office. Therefore, Hoover did three things:
1. He had Harry Holmes fake a paper trail at the post office with a phony money order that was out of order and never went through the Federal Reserve System.
2. Holmes and the COmmission then lied about the laws governing pick ups of packages, to disguise the fact that Alec Hidell could not have picked up the rifle.
3. The FBI then disguised the fact that the particular rifle in question was not shipped by Harborside to Klein's at the time the FBI and WC said it was, in order to be ordered by LHO at the time the FBI said he did.
This is truly a sad and discouraging case of perfidy in the evidentiary record. In fact it confirms one of my longstanding beliefs about the first generation of critics: they did not go far enough. THey just accepted things like Oswald and the rifle for the reason that they could not imagine just how bad the FBI and WC really were.
They then turned on Garrison when they said he went too far, but in fact not even Garrison imagined just how bad it was.
Oswald never ordered that rifle and he never had it in his belongings. Period.
