A word of warning: digitalized pictures have a lower resolution (namely the size of the pixel) that introduce an error factor that gets higher the farther away from the camera the object is. With that in mind, I'll get on it after the end of family activities today.
Since the pictures you have there don't have a handy yardstick in them, where exactly do I start measuring the barrel to get a benchmark 22 inches. Does that include the chamber?
Never mind. I found the NARA photo which does have a yardstick
Good show, Drew. I didn't know there was an NARA photo of the rifle complete with yardstick. Awfully decent of the FBI to be so helpful, wouldn't you say?
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
