The 40 " Carcano will not fit in a duffel bag......

You are correct. But no one said that it would. One end would stick out of a partially open top. More details are available if you want to read the earlier part of this thread.

That information is intended for those who believe that Lee transported the Carcano to New Orleans.     IMO Lee no longer had possession of the Carcano at the time he rode the bus to New Orleans.

Now there's a blanket statement. Anyway, Charles reeled me in as I somehow found myself wandering around the OP.

Someone at the FBI (Vince Drain) screwed up.....    On page 180 of Livingstone's High Treason both memos are presented side by side.   

Clearly Drain was falsifying the document to frame Lee Oswald.    It's interesting to note that Drain wrote that " The Dallas police have not exhibited this to anyone else. It was immediately locked up by Day and kept in his possession until it was turned over to FBI agent Drain for transmittal to the laboratory."

If Drain wasn't lying,..... then he needs to explain what Montgomery is DISPLAYING to the whole wide world as he leaves the TSBD.

“It was immediately locked up by Day and kept in his possession until it was turned over to FBI agent Drain for transmittal to the laboratory."

Thanks Walt, This answers the question that I asked earlier in the thread regarding that.

Therefore, based on this confirmation that it was secured in the crime labs and the sun angle study that Mytton and myself presented, the photo in which Patrick found the bag laying on top of the boxes does appear to have been taken about 2:00 pm on 11/22/63.

I would ask members for a measure of thread discipline (I know.....but I’m a glass half full guy).

Who will be the first to help me out? After all it’s your narrative.

Mr. BALL. How long did you stay at the Texas School Book Depository after you found the rifle?
Mr. FRITZ. After he told me about this man almost, I left immediately after he told me that

~snip~

Mr. TRULY. And there were other officers with him. Chief Lumpkin stepped over and told Captain Fritz that I had something that I wanted to tell him.
Mr. BELIN. All right. And then what happened
Mr. TRULY. So Captain Fritz left the men he was with and walked over about 8 or 10 feet and said, "What is it, Mr. Truly," or words to that effect.
And I told him about this boy missing and gave him his address and telephone number and general description. And he says, "Thank you, Mr. Truly. We will take care of it.

~snip~

Mr. DULLES. When was the paper bag covering that apparently he brought the rifle in, was that discovered in the sixth floor about the same time?
Mr. FRITZ. No, sir; that was recovered a little later. I wasn't down there when that was found.
Mr. DULLES. It was recovered on the sixth floor, was it not?
Mr. FRITZ. Yes, sir; I believe so. We can check here and see. I believe it was. But I wasn't there when that was recovered.
