Reclaiming Misery aka Reclaiming History

[Jerry Freeman]

  Would it require a complete disassembly as depicted in that picture or just connecting the barrel to the rifle stock?  This is not a trick question as I have never assembled a MC rifle and am curious as to the answer.  It has implications for the minimum amount of time it would have taken for Oswald to assemble the rifle.

OK Rich.... actually I have only disassembled my shotgun [Winchester 1400 12 ga. auto]
It isn't hard to do but I have Teflon screwdrivers so I don't bugger the metal.
But shotguns are different from rifles.
I have a .22 Marlin semi auto.. the trigger housing is screwed into the stock.
Have you seen the link here?

 It should have been determined and reported by the FBI [Robt Frazier?] that the MC in question was indeed reassembled like quickly with a what? Crude fastening device? I mean they analyzed Oswald's pubic hairs and stuff like that

I see you found a link.

We are left to assume that disassembly of the
weapon is a quick, simple and straightforward process at the end of which
we have the
rifle in two pieces: the wooden stock and the remainder of it
consisting of the metal part. In reality, this is far from the truth.
At this point, I must also question the object of taking the time and trouble
to completely disassemble and then reassemble
the weapon in order to
make a saving of less than six inches in its length.
Twelve separate components
?
plus a sling
Perhaps it is appropriate at this stage to explain exactly what is involved
when you disassemble this weapon. Despite the automatic ass
umption that
you have a ?wooden part? and a ?metal part?, there is far more to it than
that. When
fully
disassembled, which it
has
 to be to isolate the wooden
stock, the rifle is broken down into no fewer than 12 separate components.
Yes, twelve! Now that is something which the Warren Commission omitted
to reveal. Even then, there is a further item to consider, although it is not
strictly speaking part of the rifle. This is the sling (which was fitted to the
alleged assassination weapon when it was found).
If we then go along with the Warren Commission?s main conclusion that
Oswald was the lone assassin, we have to add an ammunition clip and four
unexpended rounds of ammunition. I can just visualize Oswald climbing into
Frazier?s car carrying a paper sack i
n which all those assorted ingredients of
the rifle are jangling about.

I give it a high probability given the circumstances in which Bueller found himself that day.

As in Ferris Bueller?  WTF?

[John Iacoletti]

Based on his 'assumption'...I didn't read Bugliosi's book.
I mean what did he say in 900 pages that the Warren Report didn't say in 900 pages?

Correction:  Bugliosi said in 1648 pages what Posner said in 640 pages what Jim Moore said in 236 pages.

Another pointless post this time pointing out an obvious auto-correction. WTF?

What is it with you and Caprio, why this urge to reply to anything and everything that you can, is having an artificially inflated high post count beneficial to you in some way?

That's the problem with you, "Mytton" -- you always think your own guesses are "obvious".  But Chapman has called him "Bueller" more than once.

Says the guy with the urge to reply to anything and everything I say.

What Hoover said in one sentence!

"The thing I am concerned about, and so is Mr. Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin."
