The two big questions remaining - who and why - has been so muddied with competing theories that the actual perpetrators might have escaped free and clear. Though, I do recall reading how, when the House Select Committee on Assassinations began their investigations, there were a huge number of murders involving Cuban exiles and some leading mobsters who had been involved in the CIA's Anti-Castro operations. Seems like someone was trying to keep something secret.

Yeah this could be plausible, maybe it was an accident covered up. Not suggesting covert assassination is the only explanation.
Oswald's life was something out of a spy novel. He was connected with the Soviets, KGB, CIA, Anti-Castro, Pro-Castro, Mexican government, Cuban mobsters, Jack Ruby, I mean the list goes on and on.
I mean it was awfully convenient that before anyone could interview him Ruby came out of nowhere and shot him. In the declassified files it came out that Oswald has infact met Ruby before. Ruby comes out as a wildcard as he's not connected to the Cuban mafia but when in prison he and his sister claimed he needed protection from the Dallas based John Birch Society who (he and his sister claimed) wanted to keep him quiet.

I mean the cast of characters is so long connected to Oswald at some point it wouldn't surprise me if he was connected to Marilyn Monroe's mysterious death or other number of conspiracies. throw them all in.

Mentioning of the John Birch society is not so crazy, as Guy Bannister, a former FBI, NOI, and probable CIA operative who had possibly run Oswald out of his New Orleans private detective agency/Anti-Castro paramilitary base,
had also had membership in loony right wing groups like the John Birchers.

I'd like to focus on this specific claim for a moment. What exactly makes the Carcano Model 38 poorly suited?
The cartridge itself is accurate and has a flat trajectory, as well as a tendency to tumble after striking.
The rifle is generally considered reasonably accurate and well-made. It's iron sights wouldn't have been of much use (they're sighted for 200 meters), but why would we assume Oswald wouldn't be able to compensate (supposing he used them, rather than the scope). If he used the scope he could have it sighted appropriately for the shorter range required.
So, what exactly makes the Carcano unsuitable for taking a person at 100 meters?
The 6.5x52 Carcano shoots a 160 Grain Bullet at about 2200 feet per second.. Its roughly on par with a 7.62x39mm which is the AK-47/SKS Round and the .30-30. It shot round nose bullets which were not the best for long range like the more common Spitzers. It could prolly take a deer out to 150 to 200 yards if you had right kind of ammo. It could prolly take someone out to at least 300 yards.
There were many surplus rifles floating around that were high quality back then like the M1 Garand in .30-06 and the Mauser 98 in 8mm Mauser and the Russian Mosin Nagant in 7.62x54. All three of those rounds are a lot more capable than 6.5 carcano and could easily take someone in combat past 500 yards. The 6.5 Carcano was never known as a flat shooter in gun circles although it was flat by 18th Century Standards. I never understood why Oswald used military ammo which is designed to wound when it seems like hunting ammo or self defense ammo would of been better. My dad's gun can shoot at about 3600 feet per second and is known as a flat shooter out to at least 500 yards. I think he just chose the 6.5 because it was cheap and he was poor and it was available. The 6.5 Carcano prolly at least a 500 yard effective range when using Spitzers. The 8mm Mauser shoots about 200 Grain bullet at about 2500 feet a second and has a range of at least 1000 yards. The 7.62x 54 is about like a .308 so a lot more capable than 6.5 Carcano. 6.5 Carcano drops like a rock at distance....Also there were different sized bullets for the gun and still are like .264 and .268 and using one in the other will negatively affect accuracy. The M1 Garand is Semi-Auto not bolt action and shoots 150 Grains at 2700 Feet per second in .30-06 FMJ. All of those other higher quality guns were cheap but too much money for Oswald. Round nose bullets tend to just pencil through so even a FMJ Spitzer could of been more suited.

Ah! so there was a connection! thanks Kraichie. the tapestry that is Oswald's life just keeps getting more complex. On a side note, Oswald was actually married to Russian woman, Marina Prusakova whom he met in the Soviet Union. How he was ever allowed to marry a Soviet citizen during the height of the cold war is as mysterious as what he was doing in the Soviet Union. Prusakova was almost certainly an KGB informant and must have been dedicated to her undercover job as they had two daughters who survived Oswald. the whereabouts of Prusakova and Oswald's daughters is yet another mystery as they might be able to shed light what was going through Oswald's head.
that's what I heard too! So why if he was set up to assassinate as a lone gunman would he really think he had a chance with this type of rifle of shooting the most powerful man in the world??

Ya I asked chatgpt and it said some surplus Carcanos cant even shoot a 4 inch group at 100 yards so 100 yards is really the safe distance for deer in those rifles. That means 8 inch group at 200 yards.

Off topic but she's very glamorous looking!
Wait? are we seeing the same video? everyone I know who has watched the Zapruda film says virtually the same thing, the kill shot on the Zapruda film "appears" to impact from the front. It must be apparent because even the sceptics also say its an "optical illusion" because of the volume of people who are seeing what I am seeing.
They're wrong. The exit wound is clearly visible in the autopsy photos that are publicly available. The splattering in the video is to the front. He was shot from behind. There really and truly is no question about it. It would be very unusual to get those would on there same side as the entry would.
Look at the autopsy photos and the position of his head and a shot from the front just doesn't fit with anything we know to be true
I don't know? At the end of the day was Oswald really a lone gunman? I've watched several documentaries on him over thee years, and the level of good luck he appeared to have in the book depository being vacant at the very moment Kennedy's cavalcade passed, plus he reasoning is all over the place, Nothing makes sense.
Of course there was luck, that's why people can't find any actual evidence that's more clear and consistent than that Lee Oswald worked alone shooting from a window at the place he worked.
Are you sure? Congress is asking plenty of questions as we speak.

Oswald's widow has been on various news stories throughout the years, and one of his daughters had been on the national news as a reporter. I suspect they've been misled by facetious conspiracy theorists, as well as possibly those who purposely want to make the possibility of a conspiracy the realm of tinfoil hats.
I think Jim Garrison, New Orleans district attorney, had gotten closest to solving the case, till he was purposely mislead.
