If this becomes a series, an episode on the gun that Gavrillo Princip used to kill Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary would be a good follow up episode I think.

My first thought aswell
My mentor at a former job is a very dear friend, and as a life long resident of Dallas Texas, he loved to tell me stories of the town I just moved to. He said that a few decades ago he met an employee of the Texas Department of Education, who just so happened to work on the fifth story of the Texas Schoolbook Depository building. Yes, his office was directly under "that window". My friend asked him what it was like to work there. The employee said, "It's awful. Imagine working at your desk, standing up to take a break, and every time you look out the window, about a dozen strangers are pointing at you."

Been to the Plaza and the 6th floor twice. The first thing that struck me was how close and confined everything is
The scope was actually manufactured in Japan and imported into the US via a company in Hollywood, CA. called Ordnance Optics. It was actually a 4 X 18 scope designed for a .22 caliber rimfire rifle and was not at all suited to the 6.5 mm Carcano. The scope mount was also of Japanese manufacture, but was originally designed under a contract from the Chilean government for Mauser sniper rifles their army had in its possession. Klein's in Chicago was likely able to get these extra components on the cheap, and simply move them out the door for a few extra dollars above basic retail for the Carcano and turn a profit. But from any kind of a knowledgeable perspective, neither the scope nor the mount were really suited to the rifle in question.

FBI initial tests indicated the scope was badly misaligned to the rifle and Oswald couldn't have struck Kennedy with it. This misalignment could have been caused by the police sloppy handling of evidence. It's also entirely possible Oswald knew the scope was badly misaligned and used the iron sights instead. At the distance he is believed to have fired from, lethal hits were entirely possible. 86 yards is not a long distance for a practiced rifleman.

Thanks for answering a few questions for me. I've read in many publications that the scope " itself" was a cheap Japanese knock-off with very low power, as you said. We went to the book depository and it's very interesting to visit it for yourself. I don't know how much target shooting or hunting you do ( I target shoot, I'm not big on killing animals), then you'll know how difficult it is to hit a moving target at 80 yds. Especially with a cheap low power scope, and you're under a staggering amount of stress and pressure and terrified of what's going to happen to you afterward. How often did Oswald practice? Who sighted in the scope and at what distance? They also mention the gun being disassembled at one point. By whom? When? If you have a chance to go to the book depository, go. It really is a fascinating and unsettling look at our history up close. It's a tear jerker. Thank you very much for your input. Stay safe in this mad world.

Back in the early and mid 60's I was a teenager and used to deer hunt with my father and uncles in Pennsylvania. They did not have a lot of extra money to buy new guns, and since most of them were WW2 vets, they bought and hunted with old WW2 bolt action rifles. My aunt actually hunted with an old Italian 6.5 rifle that was just like Oswald's rifle. I remember those days when you could buy a M1 Garand for $89.95. Same gun today will start at over $2000.00...

Interesting video. Thanks for posting Mark. Just a couple of points: At 2:58 the video says that, "the rifle was found at the sniper's nest". The rifle was actually found between some boxes on the sixth floor near the top of the stairs at the north west corner of the TSBD, diagonally opposite the sniper's nest. At 3:37 the video says that, "Oswald was not found in the book depositary building". While climbing the north west stairs with the TSBD supervisor, Roy Truly, policeman, Marrion Baker, spotted Oswald standing in the doorway of the second floor lunchroom facing into the lunchroom. Baker aimed his gun at Oswald and told him to come forward. When Truly confirmed that Oswald was an employee, both Baker and Truly continued up the stairs to search the TSBD. Oswald then entered the back door of the clerical office, on the second floor, where he was seen by Jeraldean Reid. He crossed the office leaving via the office front door and went down the south east stairs to exit the TSBD at the front entrance. He was carrying an unopened bottle of coke.

Here are the known movements of Oswald before and after the assassination: *11:55am* Givens, a member of the TSBD sixth-floor laying crew, took the elevator up to the sixth floor and saw Oswald walking away from the southeast corner, but saw no one else on the sixth floor at that time. After collecting his jacket, Givens then took the elevator back down to the first floor. He was the last person to see Oswald before the shooting. (WR 250) *12 noon approx* Williams, who was also working with the 6th floor-laying crew, returned to the sixth floor to eat his lunch and watch the motorcade. He looked out on Elm Street from a position in the area of the third or fourth set of windows from the east wall. At this point he was approximately 20-30 feet away from the southeast corner window. He remained for 5 to 12 minutes eating his lunch which consisted of chicken and a bottle of soda pop. Williams saw no one on the sixth floor during this period, although the stacks of books prevented his seeing the east side of the building. After finishing his lunch Williams took the elevator down. (WR156) *12:30pm* Three shots are fired from the TSBD 6th story south east window, over a duration of approximately 9 seconds. The first shot misses. The second shot hits JFK's back slightly below and slightly to the right of his neck. The third shot hits the back of JFK's head to the right. (WR543 Exhibit 387) *12:31:49pm approx* Having roared up to the TSBD front entrance and run up the northwest stairs, motorcycle policeman Baker apprehended Oswald at gun point, as Oswald was walking into the second story lunch room from the vestibule. When supervisor Truly, who accompanied Baker up the stairs, confirmed that Oswald worked at the TSBD, Baker released Oswald and continued up the stairs to search. Baker was the first person to see Oswald after the shooting. (WR5) *12:34pm* Oswald is seen carrying an unopened bottle of Coke by Mrs Reid in the 2nd story admin office adjoining the lunch room. He walks across the office and exits by a door leading to the south east stairs, down to the TSBD main entrance. (WR154) *12: 45pm approx* Truly, the TSBD building supervisor, notices that, of the 15 male TSBD employees, only Oswald in missing, so he tells the police. He does not bother about the *female employees.(WR156) *12: 45pm and 12: 48pm* The police broadcast an APB, with a description matching Oswald (WR165) *1:15pm approx* Oswald guns down policeman Tippit in the Oak Ridge area.

Another amazing production by Mark Felton. An habitual abuser of KZread, I watch way more YT in my retirement than I ever did television when I was employed. What I find astounding are the tight production values of every Felton Production. He nails his topic and usually in around ten minutes. An impatient and peevish person, I have seen (but not watched) many videos about very mundane subjects that hang in there for 13, 15, 19 minutes, all to explain how to get a wine stain out of one's shirt, or how to tie a knot that one can untie in three seconds. The economy of these videos, that doesn't play to the bottom feeders, but constantly tests the viewer who has been paying attention, by framing topics in ways that stimulate the the pedestrian history buff, but that also satisfy the professional historian. Thank you, Mark Felton. You are the best teacher I have ever encountered, and I was a university librarian and administrator for 43 years, and my speciality is at the opposite end of Mark Felton's deserved position as a brilliant thought-provoker and explainer. I could expand on any subject concerning academic administration, ad infinitum.
As I recall, the scope on the Carcano was not a WWll Italian scope , rather a one from a company in Hollywood, California. I believe I read that in the Warren Commission Report. The S&W Victory revolver was reworked into snub nose configuration post WWll. I think they originally had a 4” barrel. They were still on the surplus market as late as the 1980s . Note; they were chambered for .38 S&W, not .38 Special. In mid-1963 surplus WWll rifles were everywhere. $15 could buy you a Carcano, Mauser,Enfield SMLE or an M-1 carbine. Ah, the good old days.

@@kevinluby4783 Wrong!!! Remember the media was on the floor at the same time. They were taking photographs and filming. The recovery of the rifle was filmed by Tom Alyea of WFAA-TV, and his footage shows the rifle to be a Mannlicher-Carcano. There are photos and film of the rifle being discovered. It's a Carcano. Plus, there were many members of the DPD on the floor. They would all have to be in on any kind of switch that took place. The DPD was in on the cover-up before Oswald was even captured? That would necessarily mean they were in on the assassination itself. Preposterous! This is lengthy but actual testimony. Read it before making more idiotic statements. The conspiracy theorists site those who discovered it as claiming it was a Mauser. Mostly, they site Seymour Weitzman, Eugene Boone, Will Fritz and Carl Day. Let's start with Seymour Weitzman. He's the one most often cited. Mr. BALL - "In the statement that you made to the Dallas Police Department that afternoon, you referred to the rifle as a 7.65 Mauser bolt action?" Mr. WEITZMAN - "In a glance, that's what it looked like." Mr. BALL - "That's what it looked like did you say that or someone else say that?" Mr. WEITZMAN - "No; I said that. I thought it was one." Mr. BALL - "Are you fairly familiar with rifles?" Mr. WEITZMAN - "Fairly familiar because I was in the sporting goods business awhile." You conspiracy theorists often refer to Weitzman as a gun expert. He worked in the damn sporting good business. He was "fairly familiar" with rifles, by his own admission. I doubt they sold World War II Italian rifles at whatever sporting goods store he worked. Mr. BALL - "Now, in your statement to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, you gave a description of the rifle, how it looked." Mr. WEITZMAN - "I said it was a Mauser-type action, didn't I?" Mr. BALL - "Mauser bolt action." Mr. WEITZMAN - "And at the time I looked at it, I believe I said it was 2.5 scope on it and I believe I said it was a Weaver but it wasn't; it turned out to be anything but a Weaver, but that was at a glance." To Weitzman, any rifle with a bolt action was a "Mauser". He used that term generically because the Carcano does have a similar bolt action. The Mauser is a much better known rifle than a Mannlicher-Carcano. Most people have never even heard of such a rifle unless they have researched the Kennedy assassination. But everybody's heard of a German Mauser. Then there is Eugene Boon. And he is one of the ones the CT crowd point to as stating the rifle found on the 6th floor was a "Mauser." Under testimony he admitted many said it was, but not him. It is an easy error to make. Almost everyone knows the German 98 Mauser rifle by sight. Not many know the 6.5 mm Italian MC rifle. Here's what he had to say about it to the commission: Mr. BALL - "There is one question. Did you hear anybody refer to this rifle as a Mauser that day?" Mr. BOON - "Yes, I did. And at first, not knowing what it was, I thought it was 7.65 Mauser." Mr. BALL - "Who referred to it as a Mauser that day?" Mr. BOON - "I believe Captain Fritz. He had knelt down there to look at it, and before he removed it, not knowing what it was, he said that is what it looks like. This is when Lieutenant Day, I believe his name is, the ID man was getting ready to photograph it. We were just discussing it back and forth. And he said it looks like a 7.65 Mauser." Again, Boon is just giving his impression- a Carcano does look like a Mauser. They were all saying that it looked like a Mauser. This is where the conspiracy theorists are coming up with this. Notice that he describes the discussion of the rifle before they actually picked it up and examined it. Then there is Carl Day: Mr. BELIN - "Did you ever hear this rifle referred to as a 7.65 Mauser or as any type of a Mauser?" Mr. DAY - "Yes, sir; it wasn't referred to as that. Some of the newsmen, when I first carried the rifle out, asked me if it was a .3006, and at another time they asked me if it was a Mauser. I did not give them an answer." Mr. BELIN - "Were there newsmen on the sixth floor at the time the rifle was found, if you know?" Mr. DAY - "I think there was." Mr. BELIN - "Did you ever describe the rifle as anything but a 6.5-caliber with regard to the rifle itself?" Mr. DAY - "I didn't describe the rifle to anyone other than police officers." The Mauser story certainly didn't come from Lt. Day, but he was privy to the early conversations about the rifle, consistent with what the others said. Mr. McCLOY - "There was never any doubt in your mind what the rifle was from the minute you saw it?" Mr. DAY - "No, sir; It was stamped right on there, 6.5, and when en route to the office with Mr. Odum, the FBI agent who drove me in, he radioed it in, he radioed in what it was to the FBI over the air. That's the entire basis of the Mauser story. But if you listen to the conspiracy crowd, you'd think it was a certainty. Besides, commonsense, alone, should tell anyone with half a brain that switching a Mauser for a Carcano, right there on the 6th floor, in front of everybody, is just insanity. It never happened. The recovery of the rifle was filmed by Tom Alyea of WFAA-TV, and his footage shows the rifle to be a Mannlicher-Carcano. Here is one frame from his footage, and here is another. In fact, a Mannlisher-Carcano could easily be mistaken for a Mauser. The DPD was in on the cover-up before Oswald was even captured? That would necessarily mean they were in on the assassination itself. It never happened.

@@JBliehall I'm sorry but if you are taking any notice of what was said "allegedly" at the Warren Commission then your comments cannot be taken seriously. They invented reports from various "witnesses" that thy had never made, they changed reports to suit the lone gunman theory and ignored statements from witnesses that had seen the assassination but their report didn't match the W.C. Report. Some of the staff at the Commission actually resigned because they found various evidence that did not fit in with what the W.C.was saying, in other words, the Commission were lying. When their complaints were ignored they resigned. These people were qualified Solicitors, not just men taken from the street. Mr Wietzman was not just a man who worked in the "sporting goods industry", he actually owned a gun store and was very knowledgeable and he stated categorically that the rifle was a Mauser and his partner that had actually picked it up said it was a Mauser because the name was stamped on the rifle. There were no photographers or newsmen there when they found the rifle either, do you honestly think the Police, FBI or CIA would have allowed them in the building within minutes of the shooting when they were trying to fiddle, sorry, find fingerprints and evidence. Not a chance plus they would not have been able to plant and arrange the evidence if there had been others there. One last point, were you aware that there is no proof whatsoever that Oswald received the gun and that the FBI/CIA were actually intercepting Oswald's mail from February 1963 so if the gun had been sent to Oswald the FBI/CIA would have intercepted it which is exactly what they wanted. There is also the problem of the rifle that Oswald was supposed to have ordered wasn't the same size as the one that was found by the Police. There is so much more to this than you will find in the Warren Report, even LBJ didn't believe it and he was the one who told them what to say.
I used to work a security job in Glenarden, MD. The building that stored these items (and many others) was part of our patrol area. One of the lobby guards and I became friends and he took me in the storage area once, to show me around. He showed me box these were in, and he opened it so I could see them. I didn't get to touch them, though. The building used to stand at the SW corner of Evarts St and Brightseat Rd, across from the Landover mall. I think there's a gas station or liquor store on that site now.

The pistol was a surplus Smith and Wesson .38 caliber "Victory Model" (military version of the Model 10) that had been cut down to a snub nose. Thousands of these things were sold as surplus to gun stores and sporting goods after the war and given to gunsmiths for modifications to then be sold on the civilian market. You see them messed up in all kinds of ways - cut down barrels, nickel plating, cheap plastic "pearl handle" grips, etc. It's getting quite hard to find these things in just regular surplus condition anymore. They came with a gray parkerized finish, 4" or 5" barrel, plain smooth wood grips, and a lanyard loop of the bottom of the grip frame.

I had a Brescia 6.5 Carcano carbine, WWII bring back w/o scope, which I always thought was the same type rifle used in the Kennedy assasination.

While I have personal opinions on the circumstances of the shooting, one will never change. Marine riflemen are well known for their marksmanship but regardless of their skills I could never be convinced a rifle like I owned, even using a scope, could have made the shot(s) that killed President Kennedy. The rifle shown in your video, doable in the hands of very well trained shooter, with a lot of luck. Another of your well researched and prepared videos, Dr. Felton!

Ballistics on the 6.5 Carcano are good = a medium velocity model for penetration with high sectional density.

When I was a kid WW2 surplus rifles were many and of a large variety. They could be bought from mail order catalog's or newspaper adverts and shipped to your house. My father bought three via mail order. One was from WW1. The others were from the UK military surplus and bolt action rifles. As a young fellow, it was fun and wonderful way for my father and I to interact and spend time together and to learn about firearms such as the differences in makes and configurations as well as ease of use and accuracy. We restored them ourselves as they came to us in bad shape. We even made our own ammo for them as .303 was a hard-to-find caliber. The bolt action was the standard before WW2, but obsolete for military use as the new gas operated rifles like the M1. As such, M1 rifles were not available for private sales, but the bolt action rifles of pre-WW2, were available as surplus at the time. The Marines, Oswald's military service, did not use bolt action rifles as a standard weapon. They used the M1. Oswald most likely qualified as a sharpshooter with the M1, a gas operated rifle. The bolt action rifles are a different cat requiring much more operator movement to load, aim and fire accurately. Which is not the same in accuracy or rate of fire for someone not trained on bolt action rifles unless a qualified as a sniper. Oswald was not.
@jodo2785
Жыл бұрын
What? First of all, Oswald never used an M1. He would've used an M14. By the time he made it to the rifle range, the M14 would've been the standard. Second of all, a rifle is a rifle. If you're trained on one platform, you have the fundamental skillset to pick up any other platform and use it effectively. Thidly, all hunting rifles were bolt actions, and Oswald grew up shooting them before his military career.

Military experts, after examining his records, characterized his firearms proficiency as "above average" and said he was, when compared to American civilian males of his age, "an excellent shot".[58] And "a rifle is a rifle"??? That is so idiotic it doesn't even merit a comment. BTW I train LE and military snipers.

M14 is gas operated pls learn to read. You make think gas operated rate of fire is the same as a bolt action. Most experts do not. Bolt action rifles became obsolete for a very clear reason. Mine. Hunting is not war, or an assassination with a time limit. If you say Hunting is one shot all day. Oswald probably hunted squirrel with a bb gun. I stand by my statement. In addition, I don't believe Oswald did it anyway.

@@JBliehall Thank you. Did the Marines score LHO on a mail order, Italian DMRO bolt action rifle? I wager if they did it would not have been pretty. The reasons are many. The quality of US Milspec rifles and US military ammo and rifles that require less than a six-inch spread at a hundred meters. Not so with Italian Milspec. The sighting of the rifle and the construction errors of the Italian and British arms is extensive and requires a lot of adjustments to get them to shoot straight. There is a reason the Italians lost the war. The British .303 carbine is notoriously error prone. Hitting a target with it is more luck than skill. It takes a lot more time and effort to get any mail order rifle working properly. Wear and tear from war may have left it barely useable with broken firing pins worn and barrels, bent sights to name just a few problems. Which I have firsthand experience with. They are not rifles, even a sharpshooting designated Marine can just pull out a box and start shooting accurately. The skill of a sharpshooter is tested in using a non-US rifle and ammo to get on a moving target and hit it at all. Especially if he has no experience with it. This is why competitive marksman use extensive technology with their rifle and ammo. A rifle is definitely NOT a rifle.

Now, as Oswald worked on a number of floors including the 6th, it could be one of the main reasons that Dallas Police, who dusted for prints on those boxes would be an almost pointless process, as Oswald most probably moved a number of these boxes during his day to day work duties or if he assisted with the flooring work.

The Oswald rifle was not found in the sniper's nest. The sniper's nest was in the southeast corner of the sixth floor of the book depository. Oswald left the three empty cases on the floor in that corner, but he carried the rifle as he went towards the stairs in the northwest corner of the building. He hid the rifle behind some boxes nearer the northwest corner. That's where the rifle was found. Obviously, if someone doesn't believe that Oswald fired the shots, then that person won't believe that Oswald did any of the things that I mention in the previous paragraph. For those people, I'll modify my statement to say that the Warren Commission reported finding the three empty cases near the southeast window on the sixth floor and that the Warren Commission reported that Dallas police reported that they found the rifle nearer the stairs in the northwest corner. I have no interest in arguing either side of theories of the assassination. Another of the theories is that police recovered a rifle with markings identifying the rifle as a Mauser. One of the police officers in the building at the time was interested in guns and at first said that the rifle "looked like a Mauser." That officer said that he later looked more closely and was certain that the rifle he saw was an Italian Carcano. I think someone else said that he saw "7.65 MAUSER" or maybe "7.62 MAUSER" stamped on the barrel or receiver. Original Mauser rifles wouldn't have had that marking. Many Mauser rifles were sold to other countries for military use and then resold on the U.S. market after they had been used by other countries. Sometimes, they would be stamped that way as part of bringing them to the U.S. civilian market. At this point, no one can point to any physical evidence that a Mauser rifle was found anywhere on the sixth floor of the book depository. The only evidence for this rifle being there is unconfirmed eyewitness testimony. Some people believe that testimony, and others do not. In spite of what some people claim, the 6.5 Carcano was not a bad rifle. The diameter of the bullets made for nominally 6.5 mm rifles varied and were not a perfect 6.5 mm. If I remember correctly, some were .264 inches and others were .268 inches, but again, I'm not looking at the numbers at this moment and can't be certain that those are the right numbers. The important point is that firing a .264 bullet in a rifle made for the .268 bullets will result in less accuracy. Many bullets on the American commercial market were made in the smaller diameter for the American rifles that were nominally 6.5 mm caliber. That resulted in many people seeing the 6.5 Carcano rifles as inaccurate. The bullets associated with Oswald's rifle were made in the larger caliber/diameter and would have been accurate in Oswald's rifle. In the hands of a competent marksman, the rifle was adequate to the task of committing the assassination. None of this means that I support or deny any particular theory of the assassination. I just want to point out that the rifle wasn't found in the "sniper's nest" and that there was a little bit of controversy about the rifle or rifles found further back towards the stairs on the sixth floor.

Blood and gore went in all directions, splattering everybody seated forward in the limo, as they all firmly testified. Autopsy shows the shot came from behind. Parkland doctors had no particular problem with the autopsy photos. Connally's said the shots came from behind. Witnesses directly under the sixth floor window firmly said the shots all came from directly overhead. All bullets and fragments ever found were matched to Oswald's rifle.
So my question is - Allegedly Oswald shot into the house (window) of an Army General officer. If true was that bullet(s) recovered and compared to either the gun or that bullet found on the gurney at Parkland? So Oswald missed a man in his house, not moving, but hit the head of a man traveling at what 11 mph moving………The world may never know…
