unassembled?
Nobody ever said the rifle was disassembled in the blanket, Ralph. In order to fit the rifle in the brown paper package, Oswald separated the
stock from rest of the rifle. He didn't need to completely disassemble the
whole thing.
stock from rest of the rifle. He didn't need to completely disassemble the
whole thing.
What? Michael Paine said he picked up the blanket and moved it several times, and he thought it was curtain rods. How could he pick up an intact rifle and not know what it was?
We all get it about a rifle. It has a butt, a stock, a forestock, a barrel. It has a raised sight at the end of the barrel. It has hardware on the underside. It has a safety on the upperside. It has a bolt. This one had a scope.
You mean to say that Michael Paine picked up that rifle- and remember that blankets are thin enough that the object that you feel is the rifle. The only thing that you feel is the rifle. The texture of the blanket would be separated out and easily distinguished in your mind. The only thing that would jump out at you, the only thing that you would "feel" is the rifle. And it would feel the same as it would be without having a blanket over it.
For Christ's sake, you would visually see the rifle through the blanket. As you were handling it, you'd be pressing the blanket to it such that you'd see exactly what it was.
So, you're saying that there was an intact rifle in a blanket in Ruth Paine's garage, and she never noticed it even though it would still have the shape of a rifle even with the blanket wrapped around it?
When you picked up the rifle, as Michael Paine said he did several times, you would feel right away that it was a rifle.
So, you're saying that Oswald got up in the middle of the night, took his bag which he arrived with and which nobody saw:
And he put the light on and started searching for the rifle- and he didn't know where it was because Michael Paine moved it not once but several times. And then he found out, and took it out of the blanket, and then he disassembled it, but you claim only partly. You claim he just separated the stock from the rest of the rifle. But, the parts are attached to the stock.
Did you mean to say that he only removed the barrel? Because that's what would reduce the length, to separate the barrel from the stock. Those are the two long parts, so if you separate them, you've done it. Well, you can do it, but it's not as easy as you might think. Here's a guy from Midway demonstrating it. It takes several specialized tools.
I quote: "That's how you remove a barrel. Not too difficult if you've got the right tools. Impossible if you don't."
Bigdog, Ollie, your ship is sinking, and there is no saving it.
