A $200 rifle vs a $20 rifle?Or not.In March 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, using the alias "A. Hidell," purchased by mail order a 6.5×52mm Carcano Model 91/38 infantry rifle for $19.99
The Italian made rifle was not respected as a military weapon, but thousands were dumped on the market as cheap military surplus
It was a bolt action, single shot rifle in which you had to manually chamber each round.
Now, if the Soviets, Cubans, Mafia or CIA were involved in a conspiracy with Oswald.....don’t you think they could have sprung for a decent sniper rifle?
Affording Oswald a proper rifle would expose the conspiracy.
Not necessarily
Buying Oswald a
$250 car to drive around in would not arise suspicion
