Don't give your typical bullsh*t answer.
You said the rifle was on it's side.
Stop putting on a show for the newbies. You know where the frame comes from on the Alyea film.
We've gone over this at least 5 different times.
The butt plate as shown on the Alyea film shows the the plate up and down/north and south.
Not side to side/east to west.
You're lying AGAIN. You said in your own words "If the rifle had been positioned as seen in this fake in situ photo the sling would have been on the far side of the rifle and he would have not been able to simply grab the sling."
In the Alyea film the rifle is already off the floor when the filming starts. There are no photographs or film(s) that show what you fabricate.
You're on a two week run of jumping on everybody's posts with your fabricated junk. New meds maybe? Somethings never change.
You said the rifle was on it's side.Yes, that's a fact....And I was agreeing with you.....

Wow!! It causes me severe stomach rumbling ...but I must agree with you Mr Lo Gun.
The only way the butt plate could be oriented North / South would be if the butt plate was horizontal as with the rifle laying on it's side. If the butt plate were vertical the long axis of that butt plate cannot be aligned with any N/S or E/W grid.
The butt plate as shown on the Alyea film shows the the plate up and down/north and south.Up and down is NOT north /south...up and down, is vertical....
I'm sorry Mr. Lo Gun.... Perhaps you need a new pair of spectacles ...( or a new brain) The butt plate is NOT vertical in the Alyea film... Detective Day was on the south side of the rifle which was laying on the floor pointing east with the scope up This means that the left side of the rifle was up and the sling was right there within easy reach for Detective Day who was on the south side of the rifle. The film shows Day grab the sling and hoist the rifle up from the floor.
