Mr. Liebeler. Now, I want to draw your attention specifically to a sling or a device that serves the purpose of sling on this rifle, which is Commission Exhibit 139, and ask you if you have ever seen anything like that before?
Mr. Paine. I am taking your question to mean did I see it on the rifle, a sling on the rifle I saw that was shown to Marina? I don't think I can truthfully remember.
Mr. Liebeler. I also want you to consider whether you have ever seen a device——
Mr. Paine. No; I have never seen a sling built like that.
Mr. Liebeler. Have you ever seen any device that looks like this at all whether it was designed for a rifle or for any other purpose? Do you have any idea what this might be?
Mr. Paine. No; I don't recognize it. I have never seen it.
Mr. Liebeler. You don't remember ever having seen anything like this around your own house or garage in Irving?
Mr. Paine. No.
Mr. Liebeler. Now, we have here the parts of a rifle which is similar to the Commission Exhibit 139, and I will lay these on the blanket, and I will ask the reporter to indicate on the record that the counterpart rifle has been identified by FBI No. C-250. I want to ask you, Mr. Paine, to try to wrap this in the package, the broken down rifle and see if that works out any better or any worse than the attempt we made to wrap the complete rifle.
Mr. Paine. I guess all that happened was I lifted up the thing in the same fashion. I don't think that is going to help the problem. It makes the package a little bit shorter but that other package—I wouldn't have got the sense of pipe.
