Bill Crapman posted this; and I have underlined the part of Boone's testimony that I'd like to focus on...
Stick to your original claim: Boone confirmed the photo posted is the way he found the rifle. It is NOT a recreation.
Boone testimony

Mr. Ball - Where was the rifle located on the floor, general location?
Mr. BOONE - Well, it was almost--the stairwell is in the corner of the building, something like this, and there is a wall coming up here, making one side of the stairwell with the building acting as the other two sides. And from that, it was almost directly in front or about 8 feet south, I guess, it would be, from that partition wall that made up the stairwell.
Mr. BALL - The rifle was about 3 feet from the--
Mr. BOONE - Yes, sir; behind a row of boxes. There was a row of boxes that came across there. Then the rifle was behind that first row of boxes.
Mr. BALL - I show you 514. Is that the way it looked when you saw it?
Mr. BOONE - Yes.
Mr. BALL - Is that the way it was when the picture was taken?
Mr. BOONE - Yes; I believe so.
Mr. BALL - This shows the rifle as you saw it, does it?
Mr. BOONE - That is right. Then you could kneel down over here and see that it had a scope, a telescopic sight on it, by looking down underneath the boxes.
What's very interesting to me is the FACT that Eugene Boone specifically stated that the rifle was about EIGHT FEET south of the partition that was the east wall of the stairs ( a partition to prevent someone from falling down into the stair well.) And in the very next question Mr. Ball changes that distance to 3 feet.....
