CD87 p92 - SS tells us the rifle Kleins shipped to Hidell was a 91(T)roop (S)pecial carbine

The barrel mount band is puzzling. It appears to be way too wide to be the same side mount band seen on the rifle in evidence. That makes the backyard rifle even crazier.

I don't think it is all that crazy. As I said earlier, many rifles returned to the Italian government broken or missing pieces. Part of Riva's job in preparing them for export was robbing parts from reject rifles to make complete rifles of the better ones. The bottom sling mount was far more common on Carcano rifles than the slide sling mount. It may well be that C2766 first arrived in America with a bottom sling mount on the forestock and a side sling mount on the butt stock. Changing it back to the original side sling mount may have occurred when the rope sling was replaced with the holster sling, and would have taken about five minutes.
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.
