Mr. Belin. Would the advertisement run in the Rifleman's Magazine of February 1963, have given the purchaser the option to buy with or without the scope, if you remember?
Mr. Waldman. Without specific reference to the ad, I would say that it did. Most usually we did.
Mr. Belin. And the purchaser would signify his preference in what manner?
Mr. Waldman. The customer designates whether he wants the rifle only or whether he wants the rifle with the scope by his selection of catalog numbers.
Mr. Belin. When this rifle came to your company, was the scope already mounted on it when you got it from Crescent?
Mr. Waldman. No.
Mr. Belin. Who put the scope on the rifle?
Mr. Waldman. The scope was mounted on the rifle in our gun shop, most probably by a gunsmith named William Sharp.
Mr. Belin. Would Mr. Sharp drill whatever holes were necessary for the mounting and do the actual mounting then himself?
Mr. Waldman. Yes.
