Pls extract your own head, I'm talking about the 1st rifle they found, which was the token rifle that someone took a few shots with from the SN. The Carcano never fired a shot
Fritz was supposed to avoid finding the Mauser but you know how inept the DPD was. They passed it off as one of theirs.
There was only ONE rifle found on the sixth floor.... And two, 6.5 mm spent shells. Weitzman and Boone found the 6.5mm CARCANO where it had been well hidden beneath a pallet of book boxes. There are many photos that clearly show the rifle is a 6.5mm Model 91/38 Mannlicher Carcano short rifle.
Do you think the conspirators would have been so stupid that they would have planted the spent 6.5mm Carcano shells and then planted a rifle of a different caliber??? Even Roger Craig admitted that it wouldn't have made logical sense to plant spent shells that didn't fit the rifle.
