The rifle was [[Italy|Italian]]-made. According to one account, it was [[Francis Cleary]], a former [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] soldier who had been brainwashed by {{Delgado}}, who brought the weapon to 1963 through the use of a [[Time Ring]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') According to another account, it was given to Oswald by the [[Time Lord]] [[Renegade Time Lord|Renegade]] [[Berenyi]], who had [[Designer|designed]] the [[assassination]] as well as Oswald's entire biography.

In the account featuring Cleary, Oswald, an innocent employee of the [[ Texas School Book Depository]], found Cleary with the rifle and fought him for control of it. Eventually, Oswald staggered back in shock after ripping Cleary's shirt to reveal a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] uniform which allowed Cleary to swing the butt of the rifle through the air into Oswald's [[head]], rendering him unconscious. [[James Stevens]], a [[journalist]] who had arrived in 1963 to prevent the Master changing [[history]], then chased after Cleary.

After attempting to tell him to stop only to be ignored, Stevens used a piece of broken pipe to knock Cleary unconscious. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') | ||
According to one account, Oswald loaded the weapon as the motorcade approached in preperation. He fired three shots at Kennedy, killing him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Untitled (DWM 171 short story)|Untitled]]'') According to another account, Stevens used the [[telescopic sight]] on the rifle as the motorcade approached to scan the crowds for the Master. After the Master purposely atangonised him, Stevens chose to use the rifle to shoot him instead of preserving history by shooting Kennedy. The [[bullet]] smashed into the sidewalk and up into the air harmlessly, the sights having become misaligned when Cleary dropped it. However, Kennedy still died and Stevens swiveled the sight to the tall wooden fence behind the [[grassy knoll]] in time to see that the true [[assassin]] was an older version of himself.

In the immediate aftermath, Oswald simply put the gun down before fleeing from the Depository ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Untitled (DWM 171 short story)|Untitled]]'') while Stevens hid the rifle behind some boxes before also leaving, according to another account. The [[Warren Commission]] eventually found that Oswald had acted alone in the assassination and that he would have had to adjust his aim to account for the factor of the misaligned sights.
