Mr. McKenzie. But it was similar to the same rifle that he had in the United States?
Mrs. Oswald. No. It wasn't identical but it might have been similar, seeing as how they are both single barrel rifles. I don't understand anything about rifles at all and I really am not qualified to talk about them.
Mr. Rankin. You mentioned that he went to the rifle club on one occasion or the hunting club on one occasion with some friends to hunt squirrels or rabbits or things of that sort. Did he go to the hunting club on other occasions to practice to shoot?
Mrs. Oswald. When I first saw the rifle here in the United States I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought this was the rifle he had brought from Russia.
Mr. Rankin. Did he practice shooting the rifle in Russia?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. Did you see him or observe him cleaning the rifle in Russia?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And would he clean the rifle, did he clean it on several occasions?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, several times.
