The article at http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/factoid6.htm about the
ammunition clip provides evidence that a clip was in the rifle found on
the sixth floor, BUT there is no evidence that Oswald ever purchased a
clip (as there is no evidence he purchased any ammunition, according to
the FBI). He could have obtained a clip for free if he purchased 108
rounds of ammo. when he bought his rifle, but perhaps he wasn't planning
to do any rapid firing, and therefore didn't need that much ammo. or a
clip. IF he fired at Walker (which appears to be the case), the fact that
he only fired one shot suggests he wasn't using a clip. The fact that the
M-C rifle had a clip strongly suggests someone else used it in order to
fire three shots rapidly at JFK and Connally, with one bullet left over,
and that Oswald was, indeed, "...just a patsy." Btw, will a clip work
properly if it contains less than six rounds? - prwhitmey

Of course a clip will work just fine with less than six rounds in
it.... Silly question.... Do you think the rifle would stop working
after one cartridge was fired???

The clip simple holds the cartridges in place so the spring loaded
elevator (follower) can push the cartridges up into the face of the
bolt when the empty bolt is fully retracted.

Incidentally ..... Any person who bought the 108 rounds of ammo that
Kleins advertized who have received 18 clips not just ONE.....
Apparently Kleins didn't know that the Italian ammo was packaged in
clips of six rounds per clip, three clips per box, and six boxes per
carton. A carton contained 108 cartridges of the 6.5 X 52mm 162grain
FMJ ammunition.

P.S. NOBODY fired that Carcano at anybody that day..........

I believe that Oswald didn't buy any ammo or clip because he didn't
intend to fire the rifle. He was going to use it for show, as is proved
by his insistence on Marina taking his picture with his guns. The rifle

We have no idea who bought the clip or ammunition. We don't know
that he fired at Walker just because he took credit for it to Marina,
who teased him about his rifle. We don't even know if Oswald actually
fired ANY rifle at JFK, since he would be hard pressed to even be in
the right place in the TSBD when the cops ran in hunting the killer.

Why wouldn't he buy ammunition from Klein's? Their prices were
probably reasonable for the time. He didn't plan on using the rifle,
just taking his picture with it and impressing the Cubans.

How so you know Oswald didn't buy any ammo? No records were kept on the
sale of ammunition. A cash sale off the store shelf would be impossible
to trace.

with the serial number C2766.

Amen, and I agree ..However, I'm convinced that Lee DID participate in
hoax at Walker's house on the night of 4 /10 /63.

And he left that rifle under a pile of brush where he imagined the police
dogs would find it...... It's entirely possible that the rifle was put
under that pile of brush BEFORE the shot was fired from another rifle,
just as it was placed beneath boxes of books before the shooting In Dealey
Plaza.

If you believe Lee Oswald had managed walk all around the Dallas area
to locate the only gun shop in Texas that had a few of the US made
(WCC) 6.5 X 52m Mannlicher Carcano cartridges and then pay the $10.00
for a clip with six cartridges, then perhaps you're also gullible
enough to buy some seashore property in Nevada......

If Lee had wanted ammo for the unusual gun, and went shopping for some
ammo he may have found a gun shop that stocked a small quantity of the
old Italian army surplus ammo that would have sold him a clip of six
cartridges for a couple of dollars. He sure as hell wouldn't have
searched high and low until he found some US made ammo at a very high
price......

Incidentally ..... The major reason that the US made ammo commaned a
high price was because the cartridges were reloadable, whereas the
Italian ammo was not reloadable. So gun buffs were willing to pay
more for the US made ammo so they could get reloadable brass........

John:.... I've told you before that the HSCA was nothing but an
extension of LBJ's "Select Blue Ribbon Committe" and their goal was to
discredit and destroy all of the evidence that had surfaced after the
Warren Commission closed it's book on the murder.

I can know for a fact that they DID NOT reproduce a spent shell like
CE 543 by ejecting a shell from a Mannlicher Carcano. I can know
that with 100% certainty , and so could you if you own a Mannlicher
Carcano.

John, Do you believe the government is telling us the whole
unvarnished truth about the Boston Marathon terrorist attack?

No?.... Then why do you believe they wouldn't lie to you about the

You seem to have forgotten that the party that gave the million dollar
order to Western Cartridge Co. was a COVERT operation..... Covert
operators don't leave paper trails...... However, I'd bet that most of
that ammo is laying on the bottom of the Caribbean at Bay of Pigs, in the
hulk of the CIA ship Rio Escondido.

If only half that 4 million rounds sunk with the Rio Escondido that would
have left 2 million rounds for the CIA to get rid of. I seriously doubt
that 2 million rounds were ever dumped on the US market, because if there
had been it wouldn't be too difficult to find a round or two of that
ammo.... And even the brss from that ammo is extremely rare.

Let's assume that there were 4000 ( a generous number) gun enthusists who
were seeking that WCC ammo and there was 4000000 rounds produced, then
each gun nut could have bought 1000 rounds of that ammo. Which would have
cost him about $400 or $500..... How many gun nuts would be nutty enough
to buy a thousand rounds of ammo for an old, obsolete, poor quality
rifle??

If only half of that order sunk with the Rio Escondido that would cut the
number available to the gun nuts to a mere 500 rounds, and a cost of $200
to $250 500 rounds of 6.5mm ammo per person is enough that there would
still be some of it available in 2013.... try to find some of it?

I've burned up a lot of that old Italian SMI ammo (some dated 1923) and
have had very few misfires. The average plinker doesn't worry much about
the reliability of the ammo..... If he's going hunting then he would want
good reliable soft nosed HUNTING ammo and NOT FMJ military ammo ...but
just for target practice and plinking, that old Italian ammo works OK.
HOWEVER...... Some of it is a little dangerous because the powder has
deteriorated and explodes rather than burns and that creates very high
chamber pressure.

Incidentally.... I've fired some of that ammo which has split the case but
didn't damage the rifle at all......A testiment to the strength of the
action of the rifle..... The Carcano action may not be as strong as a
Mauser, but still more than adequate.

Your logic is faulty.

Boston has no connection to JFK.

I've looked into how the dent can be produced, so it isn't just
"LBJ's "Select Blue Ribbon Committee."

Now in general, do I think the government always tells the truth??

No, I don't.

Just as with JFK, that is why I've been at this for years.

Do I think the FBI can be devious?? Yes, I do.

But, none of that is evidence of a conspiracy in the JFK case.

Nope. No Carcano ammo was used in the Bay of Pigs invasion.
You are not allowed to ask where ALL the WCC ammo went.

It`s government surplus that was released to be sold to the public
at some point. Knowing when this occurred and who bought it would be a
good starting point to determining whether it was unusual, suspicious
or significant that Oswald had these type bullets. CTers would rather
assume and make empty claims rather than work from actual information.

Tony, what makes you think no one else has Thompson's book? I have the
paperback edition published in 1976 with the Zapruder frames included
instead of drawings. Or were you referring to the original hardcover from
1967?

I was referring to the original hardcover, but the paperback will do for

If someone does have the paperback why would he have to lie about what

As you can tell, I know nothing about how a rifle works. In my ignorance, I thought possibly the clip had to be fully loaded to start with, in order to work properly. Again, no evidence was found proving that Oswald purchased any ammunition and a clip, nor was any M-C ammunition found on him, at his rooming house or at the Paines' residence. - prwhitmey

I'm disappointed that John McAdams hasn't responded to my post by now. (Btw, I mistakenly thought the rifle could be loaded manually without the use of a clip, but the question still remains: Where did the clip and ammunition come from?)

Of course that's an unanswerable question...... I'd bet the clip
and shells came from FBI agent Guy Banister's operation in New
Orleans. He knew that Oswald had snitched and told RFK that the Cuban
exiles were being supplied with guns and ammo from the private
detective agency of ..."Banister & Associates", and they were being
trained on land owned by Marcello near Mandeville La. RFK used the
ATF to raid those training camps and it didn't take a genius to figger
out that Lee Oswald was the snitch. Since i've seen films of Cuban
exiles training with Mannlicher Carcano rifles I'm sure It would have
required no effort at all for David Ferrie (one of Banister's
"associates") to grab a clip and a few cartridges and spent shells to
be planted at the scene where they intended to use lee Oswald as the
scapegoat.

That would be true of every bolt rifle I've ever shoot. However, Walt,
who has and shoots a Carcano, says it can't be done with the Carcano. I
have no experience with the Carcano so I can't say one way or the other.

Why do you insist on displaying your ignorance about the Mannlicher
Carcano?.... You can't simply drop a round in the chamber and close the
bolt and fire the Carcano as a single shot rifle. But if you want to
continue to make a fool of yourself, don't let those of us who know that
the rifle can't be used as a single shot rifle get in your way....

Take it easy Walt. You just shot at me and I'm not the one that said it CAN be

If you really wanted to know you could find a Carcano owner in your area

HSCA Firearms Panel testimony: (excerpts)


Mr. EDGAR. In your test firings of the rifle, where you by accident
created the cartridge with the dent on it, similar to the one that was
found in the Texas book depository, what were you firing at and where were
you firing?
Mr. LUTZ. This was a single cartridge being inserted into the chamber and
firing into a cotton waste recovery box, a box approximately 12 to 14
inches in dimensions in width, approximately 10 to 12 feet long, filled
with a recovery material, a cotton waste material, backing away from the
box, a foot or two, and pointing the muzzle into the box and then firing
into it, in order to recover the projectile.
Mr. EDGAR. But you weren't firing with clip--using the clip, were you?
Mr. LUTZ. No sir; I did not.
Mr. EDGAR. Did anyone on the panel fire with the clip in?
Mr. LUTZ. I do not believe so; no, sir.

No, it may be that some Carcano's WILL accept single cartridges... I'm
sure I could modify one of my Carcanos so that it could be used as a
single shot rifle.... Maybe if a bolt was badly worn the extractor finger
"MIGHT" slide over the rim of a cartridge in the firing chamber but that's
not the norm. As Marsh has pointed out ..A fractory rep traveled from
Italy to the US to demonstrate that the Carcano was never designed to be
used as a single shot rifle.

PS...I'm NOT impressed by the urine sniffer... You'd have been better
received if you hadn't brought up that damned liar.....Lattimer.

Just FYI you can load a round into the clip and then load the clip into

Conspiracy theorists attempt to have it both ways, again. Faced with the
overwhelming evidence Oswald purchased a rifle by mail order, they argue
he should have walked into any gun shop in Dallas and purchased it over
the counter, paying cash so as to leave no paper trail.

Faced with the lack of evidence that Oswald bought a clip or ammo (which
implies he did exactly what they suggest he should have done with the
rifle -- that is, he walked into a gun shop in Dallas and purchased it
over the counter, paying cash so as to leave no paper trail), they ask
where's the evidence he ever bought either?

Of course, they always ignore the best evidence he procured both sometime
before the assassination -- his rifle had both a clip in it and a bullet
in it when it was found about 40 minutes after the assassination on the
sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building. Three shells
were likewise found at the window from which an assassin was seen firing,
those shells were determined to be traceable to his weapon. Whether he
paid cash for them, ordered them by mail (but didn't keep the receipt) or
found them on the street doesn't really matter. He had a clip and bullets
enough to accomplish the task on 11/22/63. And he did.

Asking where's the evidence he purchased a rifle and clip is just
misdirection, and meaningless to solving the case. Can any conspiracy
theorist cite one criminal case where the prosecution had to prove where
the accused purchased the bullets and a clip?

No? Then why does it matter here?

It would be nice if you could establish Ferrie was in Dallas, not in
Houston on 11/22/63 before you alleged any such frame-up scenario. Of
course, you cannot.
It would also be nice if you could establish Ferrie had access to the
TSBD on the day of the assassination, but you have no evidence of that
either.
You just have a scenario, unsupported by any evidence. Is that a fair
assessment of what you posted above?

I hadn't thought of that..... And I don't believe that would thought
of a a "single shot" rifle, albeit you're right that a single live
cartridge could be loaded into the firing chamber in the manner that
you describe.

I stand by my position that the Carcano CANNOT be used as a single
shot rifle by simply dropping a live round into the firing chamber and
closing the bolt. I can't be done because the rifle was not
designed to use as a single shot rifle, and the bolt won't close if a
live round is simply dropped into the firing chamber.

That is why I am here, to think of things that no one else did. I also

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but you are not giving the kooks
enough credit for kooky thinking. They can claim that the real assassin
not Oswald bought the ammo and clip or it was supplied by the CIA, who
after ordered the ammo to be manufactured. Boy do they ever plan ahead,
those guys. Knowing in 1954 that they needed Carcano ammo for the JFK
assassination! ;]>

Certain kooks rely on tricks like that to try to prove Oswald innocent.

I'm not aware of Oswald being suggested as a patsy / scapecoat for any
crimes other than those in Dallas (Walker / JFK / Tippit).
If you were suggesting something other than Dallas, you certainly
didn't make it clear.

And of course, your entire paragraph is just one undocumented
assertion upon another, with no evidence to support any of it. But
let's concentrate on the Ferrie angle. Where's the evidence that
Ferrie was planning to scapegoat Oswald for anything, and doesn't your
argument suggest Jim Garrison was trying the wrtong man for the wrong
crime? (Garrison accused Shaw of working in concert with both Ferrie
and Oswald to assassinate JFK; your argument appears to be making the
claim that Oswald and Ferrie were working at cross-purposes and not
working together to assassinate JFK). That implies the indictment of
Shaw was erroneous in its particulars.

Tony, I wonder if you really know how right you are ..... Those who CLAIM
to believe the WR or actually believe that it's true have to be liars of
the worst kind..... I person who isn't even true to themselves.

Any intelligent person with average ability to reason can see that the WR
is a lie...and yet these liars will lie to themselves and claim that it's
true.

I wonder how long this self deception has been rampant in America? I
witnessed it again yesterday in the hearings on the sacking of our embassy
in Benghazi. An person with average reasoning ability can see that the
attack was not a mob that ran amuck. It obviously was an organized attack
with powerful military weapons like mortars and RPG's.

Before the fires had even burned out in Benghazi, President Obama's
Whitehouse team were telling reporters that the attack happened because of
a video that made the muslims angry. And they were going to find out who
made that video and hold them responsible. And sure enough they arrested
a Christian and put him in prison.

Clearly President Obama's Whitehouse had a story cooked up and ready to be
handed out to the gullible public .

And that's a dead give away that they KNEW the embassy was going to be
attacked.....They had weaken the security of the embassy by reducing
the number of security personnel and they refused to grant permission
for two rescue teams to go to the aid of the besieged embassy....
Obviously Obama knew the embassy was going to be hit on the eleventh
aniversary of the 9/11/01 muslim attack on the economic heart of the
freeworld.

This isn't any mystery to any person who can see......and yet very few
at the hearings will look at the facts. Most prefer the fantasy, just
as most people prefer to believe the WR, even when their good God
given brains reveal that it's a lie.

Where in that does it say that David Ferrie was in Dallas and planted the
shells? Ferrie could have sent the rifle, the clip the cartridges and and
the pristine "Magic Bullet " to Dallas with any one of many of the
plotters who were involved in the plot to murder JFK. I'd suspect the two
Cubans that Rose Charamie fled from were carrying that material.
Oh aren't you the clever one?..... We both know that covert operators
don't leave e clear trail that leads to them.

That's why they set Lee Oswald up to take the blame.... I guess you've
never heard that before, huh?

Wrong. He said it was a terrorist attack. The demonstration was not a
terrorist attack. However you can claim that it was a diversionary trick
to prepare for the terrorist attack. That's ok with me. The
demonstrators were many ordinary civilians protesting in one place. The
Commandos were a small squad attacking in another place.

There were two separate incidents in two separate places. One a

Firstly Marsh......I am not "an extreme right-winger."

I don't care for Obama because his administration is inept. "Billary" (the
buck stops here Clinton) is INDEED responsible for the Benghazi mess as
she herself said.

The FACT is Americans were killed in that attack and NOTHING has been done
(or was) done about it.

Not 1 person mentioned as a suspect, not 1 arrest, NOTHING.

While the FBI, or should I say the Keystone Cops run around like its a
Chinese Fire Drill, Ms. Clintoon asks, "What does it matter?"

Well, I for 1 say it matters!

Listen and comprehend how the "spin" has gone. Statements like the
military "couldn't have gotten there in time." are meaningless crud.

The FACT is they *couldn't* have gotten there in time, because they never
even tried. There was NO WAY at the time to KNOW when it was *too late* to
do anything.

No extra vigilance on the anniversary of 9/11??

Complete and utter BS.

I call for a special prosecutor, just as we removed the malignant boil
that was Richard Nixon.

Tony, why would you make fool of yourself by saying that? Every sane and
honest person in the world knows theat the Obama whitehouse blamed the
sacking of our embassy, and the murder of the Americans, on a Christian
who had made a video that enraged the Muslims. Obama lied and attempted
to get us to believe that the video made in the USA by a Christian was
responsible. Which I might add, is an utterly STUPID idea! Perhaps in
Obamas socialist mind the mob wouldn't be held responsible for their
ACTIONS. and the creator of the video should be persecuted...... But in
our society, it's illegal to kill someone simply because they say
something that you disagree with.

BULLSHIT!!..... THEY KNEW THE "ATTACK" WAS COMMING AND ANTICIPATED
THE MUSLIMS GAINING ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.

It's patently clear that this was just another harebrained scheme created
by Obama's team that went off the tracks, just like operation "Fast and
Furious". There was "something" in our embassy that Obama wanted the
"angry mob" to get their hands on. The Obama team may not have
anticipated that things would go awry, and Americans would be killed in
their scheme, just as they never anticipated that an American would be
murdered during operation "FAST AND FURIOUS", but Obama is responsible for
both botched operations....and the deaths of the Americans.

In the Navy sailors are taught that they are responsible for events that
happen on their watch.

John Kennedy lived by that code..... If it happened on his watch....He
took the responsibility for it.


Basically that's why he was murdered..... Publicly he accepted the blame
for the BOP fiasco ( though he quietly fired those who actually were at
the helms of the various operations during BOP.) The Cuban exiles heard
him publicly accept the blame for the fiasco, and vowed revenge.........

Benghazi has nothing to do with hate. It has to do with the CIC and the
S. of S. allowing 4 Americans to die. To die unnecessarily I might add.
As far as I know the only people punished for this disgusting event are
the Generals that moved to save these men. Disgusting to the max.

Wrong. Maybe because you are a disloyal American you refused to watch the

American I listened carefully to what President Obama said. He clearly
called it a terrorist attack. Maybe you don't know what that means. Quote
for me what you think President Obama said about the video. Did the mob
kill the maker of the video? Pretend that you have never before see a mob
