Agree with your comment found a photo of the CE575-5 at Mary Ferrell

The clip does not look to deformed to me. However going back to the original video
I watched it again a couple of times and every time irrespective of the number of bullets
in the clip as the last round is chambered the clip leaves the rifle , in fact it almost looks
to my eyes as if it is ejected with force from the mechanism rather than dropping as by gravity. In which case
why was the clip not with the bullet cases on the floor. The clip is not visible after it is inserted into the
rifle and only becomes visible again after it leaves the rifle.

Small second thought on the issue , how would Oswald know the rifle would work with the 4 bullets he
allegedly brought with him that day. As an ex-marine I would assume his instincts after his basic training
would be to fill the clip and never to part fill it.

Agree, the clip should have ejected, just another coincidence within the lies.

Another interesting tangent to think about is why did the conspirators choose to plant a rifle with only 1 shell, already chambered?

Here is a potential answer, they didn't know how many shots it would take to make sure KENNEDY was dead, they could have fired two more times for a total of five rifle shots, they left one in the chamber, that leaves as many as 5 shells that could have been dropped on the floor. Since only three rifle shots were used, three shells were dropped on the floor and then found, two became non-existent and remained in the pocket of the person who planted the empty shells by the window, hence the mystery as to why a weapon was brought to a gunfight that was not fully loaded.
