CD87 p92 - SS tells us the rifle Kleins shipped to Hidell was a 91(T)roop (S)pecial carbine
#36
Drew Phipps Wrote:"Usually" doesn't mean anything for this rifle. There are so many anomalies to it, I don't think its safe to assume anything is true that you can't see. Sure looks to me like the butt-end mount is on the side and the barrel-end mount is on the bottom to me. You should also remember that the sling itself is a hand-made job, not anything specific to this type of rifle. The sling that shows in this picture doesn't have a leather pad attached to it like the recovered rifle did. I might be able to find a picture of the sling, if so I'll insert at edit. Of course, it that's really a 5' 9" LHO standing there, then the gun in that picture is 2 inches too long to be the rifle recovered from the book depository.



If you follow my arguments carefully the appearance of the barrel mount in David's comparison photo makes it look like it is a bottom mount with attachment ring. I think people are missing the fact that Oswald has the top of the rifle rotated towards the camera therefore skewing the perspective and possibly making a ring that is actually attached to a side mount appear to be attached to a bottom mount in the backyard photo.

If you view the enlarged photo you can see the rope sling veer and terminate on the side of the barrel. If it is a bottom mount what is making it do that? Wouldn't a bottom mount terminate on the bottom?
