Mine is not the National Match, but is the "target" version with the over sized thicker stock for a better grip and a slightly upgraded barrel, not the national match barrel.

No one is shouting. I understand the FBI's presence, but not in how non-doctors took charge of the autopsy room. The chain of evidence was broken many times. The original autopsy report had blood on it and that was the reason given for why it was copied. All we have is the copy. The doctors did a sloppy job under pressure from government sources plus the doctors were not experienced in gunshot wounds and had no background in forensics if you can believe that.

My take on this has always been that LBJ had it done. He was power crazy and had the character needed to do something like that. He maybe didn't pull the trigger but he had his hand in the pie!
Oh boy.

That is like comparing a CORVETTE Z07 with a FIAT 850.
Now as to could LHO have pulled off the shooting from the distance in the allotted time ...?
I used to think not untold the series CONSPIRACY THEIRY where an ex navy seal took the same type rifle and pulled it off.

Ive seen most of the theories over the years and all of them pretty much have some inconsistencies. Oswald was not a great shot...he barely qualified in the USMC IIRC, and shooting down at a moving away target is...I’ve read...a high difficulty shot...plus the time between first and last shots left little time to both cycle the bolt, get finger back on the trigger, and aim. All of the theories match up with some of the evidence. If you look at the Zapruder film...as I recall the debris from JFK’s head goes up and back when a shot from the rear would drive the debris forward.
I’m sure Oswald was involved...but I’m also sure he didn’t act alone...and tend to believe that whoever masterminded the act would have had several plans including a likely backup shooter.
Ruby’s convenient execution of Oswald provides pretty convincing evidence that Oswald wasn’t the lone wolf shooter and planner.
It is an interesting discussion.

I would like to know what was in the chamber when they found the rifle. (A) a spent round casing (unlikely) (B) another live round (C) nothing
From The Warren Commission Report (pg. 79)
Quote:
(upon finding the weapon on the 6th floor) Lieutenant Day ... picked the rifle up by the stock and held it that way while Captain Fritz opened the bolt and ejected a live round".

I have heard the Secret Service shot version before. If it is true, what a coverup.
We have been given many coverups. I had the tv on the night they broke in with the TWA-800 tragedy and the newsman said that they had captured a sound track over the air and it said, "oh my God, we just shot down an airliner". I have always believed that story that the Navy was having simulated firings that night. I never heard another word about that sound track from ANY news station again. That was a big coverup!

From the moment that I first saw that awful scene on the news on our old B&W TV, LBJ's name popped into my head and I'm still convinced he had something to do with it. I wonder if that is why they've dragged their feet releasing the report? Or maybe they have and I was out to lunch that day.
I never trusted LBJ either. The SOB had our boys blood on his hands in "Nam".

IF You watch the Zapruder Tape, the Fatal Shot came from the Front, with Kennedy's Head Rocking back and a circle of Bone and Brain Fragments spiraling backwards with his Head, any explanation denying this would deny the Laws of Physics....It was a Conspiracy and We have been and are being Played....

It has been proven to the exclusion of all doubt that the fatal shot came from Oswald's rifle. Off the top of my head, I do not recall name of the metallurgical test that was used, which did not exist in 1963. Have you studied Reclaiming History by Vincent Bugliosi? It is a massive work but if this is a subject of interest to you, it is well worth reading.
"to the exclusion of all doubt". Just because you believe it doesn't make it real!

You are taking the official report as accurate. Oswald WAS a "patsy" in the coverup report. Kennedy was certainly killed to prevent opposition to world government takeover. Jack Kennedy was governing as a conservative (democrat) and that was not what was the leftist plan for the country. The 50 year period is well over and ALL documents should be opened to the public.

The one thing I know is, that JFK was the last Democrat who cared for his country. The theory’s will go on forever.
That very incident was when I stopped being a lifelong Democrat! I was stationed at Fort Sheridan Illinois on my way back to the Nike Missile repair shop that day.
