Yep, a Mannlicher Carcano carbine 7.35 as I recall. They attached a rinky dink scope for a extra buck or two. I think Oswald invested about $14 for his entire killing machine.

Boy did he screw it up for the rest of us!

I visited the Texas Book Depository building once and leaned out the window next to the one that Oswald shot through. That one is barred from the public by sheets of plexiglass. But from my fantage point I could get a pretty good look at where his shots landed and they were not very far away! The last was kind of a 'hope shot' but it was a hit nevertheless.

What a shame! Then we got LBJ....don't even get me started!
