Well, gee, Nick, if it was a *government conspiracy* and the *FBI* was 
in on it (you know, the same FBI that's been lying about everything from 
Hoover to Lon Horuchi) testing the rifle, I'm pretty certain they could 
fire that gun into a gelatine tank at the test range and then replace it 
with the bullet they "found" on Connally's stretcher.

In any event, there's still the 4 vs 6 rifling groove discrepency in 
bullet photographs between the Warren investigation (which had 6-groove 
"pristine" bullet), impossible with the rifle alleged to be Oswald's) 
and the 1978 House investigation (which now featured a 4-grooved 
nose-dented bullet -- the government was papering over its earlier 
mistages).

By "Oswald window" you refer to the TSBD; most alternative explanations 
involve several shooters, one of which was in the TSBD. Nobody witnessed 
Oswald near the particular window at the time of the shooting, and some 
describe him on the first floor mere seconds before it.

The hard evidence is the Warren commission releasing photographs of a 
pristine "magic bullet" with six rifling grooves when the alleged 
assassin's gun only had four.

This is over and above the fact that it was physically impossible for 
*anybody* to fire the bolt-action rifle as many times in as few seconds 
as was recorded.
