Mr. Ryder. Like I say, it would be from the 1st to around the 14th or 15th of November while the Greeners was away.
Mr. Liebeler. You said before you were quite sure you never worked on a——
Mr. Ryder. The Italian gun.
Mr. Liebeler. The Italian rifle. Do you have any recollection of the kind of rifle that this Oswald tag referred to?
Mr. Ryder. No, sir; I don't. That's another place where we did—in other words, I did so many and I was so rushed that I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to what tag was to have such and such a scope put on. That is where actually our fall-down went on the thing.
Mr. Liebeler. There is no indication on the tag as to what kind of rifle it would be?
Mr. Ryder. No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. Are you helped at all by the fact that the tag indicates that three holes were drilled? Do you ordinarily drill three holes on all rifles?
Mr. Ryder. We boiled it down to this: That there are two type bases used that have three. The Redfield base and the Buehler base and then, actually, these could go on any gun that you want. In other words, if a man bought a Redfield or Buehler base they can be adapted to any gun with three holes. Now any imported, we couldn't say definitely if it was imported because the Springfield O3A3 requires three holes; the British 303 requires three holes. These are guns they use and that's the only ones we could think of offhand that would require just three holes, so we boiled it down, it was either Buehler, Redfield base or with the Weaver base being on the Springfield O3A3.
Mr. Liebeler. Or the 303 British rifle?
