Mr. Liebeler. He was more interested in rifles?
Mr. Alba. Very little interested in the pistols. I had as many as three or—I think at one time four pistols down there, and Lee Oswald was very, very keen toward the rifles that were among my sporterizing projects, and so on; other than the pistols, he had very, very little interest in the pistols.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you do the sporterizing work on these weapons right there in your garage?
Mr. Alba. That is correct. And what I didn't do, I jobbed out, that is, I gave out to gunsmiths.
Mr. Liebeler. To what?
Mr. Alba. To a gunsmith.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald ever tell you that he had fired these rifles or this rifle that he owned?
Mr. Alba. None other than to ask me if I knew of a place where you could discharge firearms, that is, close by, without getting in the car and riding for hours.
Mr. Liebeler. What did you say when he asked you about that?
Mr. Alba. My reply was that I joined the National Rifle Association, and I have been able to shoot on the rifle range. It had been some years since I had done any shooting along the River Road or the levy, or anything else like that, and that I am sure that if you attempted that today, they either would run you off or arrest you for discharging firearms.
