When they were putting military surplus Carcanos together for sale on the open market, it was often necessary to salvage parts, such as sling mounts, off unusable rifles in order to make whole rifles out of the usable ones.

Thomas Graves Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Tommy, Comparing the photo of the Carcano alone (in your post above) with the Carcano held by Rosco/Oswald (in the posts above), certainly it is true that the one held by Rosco/Oswald is rotated in a way that it shows more of the barrel. However, rotating the rifle that direction (clockwise if looking at the end of the rifle's butt) will show the sling's side-mount less, not more. Right? If so, then I don't understand the point you are trying to make. (The side-mounts of a Carcano are on the side opposite the bolt.handle.) Sandy, A good indication that the front metal sling thingy is mounted on the left side of the rifle, rather than on the bottom, is the fact that none of the sling / belt is visible near the front. IMHO, if the sling thingy were truly mounted on the bottom as you claim, then we should see the sling / belt connecting to it there. As I pointed out earlier, the color of the sling (rope?) is whitish. It could be that we can't see it against the same color (gray tone) of the fence behind it.

(lol) Of course if you don't want to see it, you're not going to see it. Are you. Did you actually "click" on the white " + " in the upper right hand corner to make the photo larger? If it's a "photographic defect," it's the most perfectly round (white circle inside a round, dark ring) photographic defect I'VE ever seen. And so nicely-positioned, too, right on the edge of the rifle, immediately above the light-colored "sling," and on THIS SIDE of the "neighbor's fence." --Tommy Edited September 14, 2016 by Thomas Graves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Prudhomme Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thomas I've looked as hard as I can at that photo, and I cannot see anything resembling a side mounted sling mount. Not only that, I find it very odd that Oswald's "sling" (looks more like a piece of rope) would not hang straight down from the side of the rifle, if that is where it is attached. Instead, it appears to be hanging down from where a bottom mounted sling mount would be attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a bottom mount in the BYP and a side mount above. [Photo of detective carrying rifle outside the TSBD deleted by T. Graves; You can see it in the two previous posts] Dear Michael, I'm saying the rifle in the BYP's has a "rear barrel band" [q.v.] like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Italian-Carcano-dual-position-Rear-Barrel-Band-carbine-91-24-etc-no-screw-/331952097686?hash=item4d49e30996:g:9SIAAOSwzJ5XXxbw (with the narrow part of the band at the top of the rifle, obviously), but the rifle the detective is carrying doesn't have this kind of "dual position" barrel band. It has the kind that has just one thing to attach the sling to -- the pivoting metal loop on the left side of the rifle. For confirmation of this, you can look at the internet photos of the left side and bottom of the rifle that was "found" in the TSBD. Why do I emphasize looking at the bottom of the barrel of the "TSBD rifle"? Because you'll see there ain't no "sling mount" there, pivoting or stationary. It's only on the left side of the rifle and it's the pivoting type. This detail from one of the BYP's shows what I'm talking about. Although the pivoting metal loop can't be made out on the bottom of the rifle (bottom = the surface facing the camera) in the un-cropped photo http://nypost.com/2013/11/19/oswald-rifle-yard-virtually-the-same-since-1963/ , it's obvious that it's there because the light-colored "sling" goes through it first and then goes over to the protruding and stationary metal "slot," the very end of which is barely visible as a small dark circle inside my big red circle. If not for the fact that the "sling" is going through that pivoting metal loop on the bottom of the rifle, said "sling" would appear to be defying gravity by "hanging" so weirdly like that from the side slot. -- Tommy Edited September 15, 2016 by Thomas Graves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Sandy "Eagle Eye" Larsen and Robert "Hawkeye" Prudhomme: http://nypost.com/20...ame-since-1963/ -- Tommy Yes, that is the circle I saw, Tommy. When I saw it, the first thing that came to mind is a phenomenon I've seen a few times in the past, where a tiny thing falls onto a wet surface and it repels the liquid on the surface radial-symmetrically, resulting in a perfect circle. For example, suppose you had a thin film of oil-based dye on a solid sheet of white something. A tiny drop of water falls on it. Since water is heavier than oil, and since they don't mix, the water droplet displaces the dye and a white circle is formed. I've seen tiny white circles in pictures before, like the one you pointed out, and I've always assumed they were caused by the phenomenon I just described Do you believe that the circle is attached to the rifle? And that the hole we see in the circle is a real hole?. P.S. As I said before, I looked for the circle in another copy of the picture that I found and the circle was not there. (Though I'll concede right away that somebody may have "softened" the photo and that this resulted in the circle disappearing.) EDIT: I just looked at a number of copies of this BYP and the tiny circle is on every one of them. So the photo I found the other day was an unusual one. I do wonder if the circle is somehow a part of the mount. Edited September 15, 2016 by Sandy Larsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After which you masterfully zoomed in and circled the circle so that I couldn't miss it... something for which I will be eternally grateful. (Though not as grateful as I was when you found for me that video segment showing Bill Shelly changing direction and crossing over to the concrete island, as he had claimed in his first-day statement.) At first I thought it was a photographic defect, as I had seen many like that before. But then in one of my later posts I acknowledged that it might be some real, actual part of the mount. (Though I never thought it to be relevant.) Having said all that... I'm glad you asked, Tommy! Because as coincidence would have it, I just recently noticed that very kind of defect in one of the autopsy x-rays! See it there, on the (our) left side? Here's a closeup: Unless that's a donut shaped lead fragment we see, it must be a defect in the film. I'm guessing it's the latter.
