As John reminded me...
I HAVE LONG THOUGHT THAT, BECAUSE LEE OSWALD TRIED TO BUY A RIFLE FROM ROBERT MCKEOWN ON SEPT 1, 1963, THAT THE CHOICE OF THE MURDER WEAPON HAD NOT BEEN MADE.
THEREFORE, WHY WOULD THE FBI PLACE THE KLEIN'S ORDER IN FEBRUARY, 1963--MANY MONTHS BEFORE JFK'S TRIP TO DALLAS WAS ANNOUNCED ??
He makes a very good point... My guess is that there really was a Feb 22 shipment to Kleins, and the FBI reworked the June 1962 C2766/100 rifle shipment documents to make them work for Feb...
The 10 packing slips only indicate "38 E"... and the paperwork from Kleins to Crescent to Rupp, and Rupp's removal an prep of the rifles MUST have occurred prior to June 1962.... All we have is from Aug 1962 forward....
And not a single other Kleins document for any other M91TS or FC rifle order received or shipped...
