FBI Evidence Proves Oswald's Ammunition was not Capable of Sufficient Accuracy to Kill JFK

[Bob Prudhomme]

As Mark Lane noted in his Warren Commission testimony, "Made Italy 6.5 cal" is clearly legible on the Mannlicher Carcano. It is impossible to accept that, not even including Roger Craig, both officers who found the weapon-Boone and Weitzman-made an identical mistake like this.

Bob, a belated thanks for a great thread. As noted by yourself and others in the past, the drama on forums always attracts more attention than evidence.

You're quite correct about the "MADE ITALY" and "6.5 CAL" being quite clearly marked in white on the base of the barrel of C2766. And I, too, have trouble seeing how it could be missed. The first thing most gun types I know would do with a strange rifle is look for markings on the barrel or the side of the receiver to see what make, model and calibre it was. Sometimes, I don't know just what to think about the whole Mauser/Carcano issue.

Thanks for the compliment.
