it is not 7.6 lbs... it is 7lbs 6oz... which is LESS than 1/2 lb... the total without boxes or cartons (and they used both) would be 700lbs and 600ozs which equals 37.5lbs so BY THEMSELVES the rifels weigh less than 750lbs
Yet go to http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-17...00-lb-test and see that the lightest box weighs 1.15lbs
100 of those is over 100 lbs and then the carton that holds 10 rifles each - 10 of those adds another 30-50 lbs yet we are still pushing 900 lbs for the larger FC rifle and about 750 lbs for the shorter TS rifle.
Not sure. The Wikipedia entry for the Carcano rifle says it is 3 feet 4 inches (40 inches) and weighs 7.5lbs.
I'm also not sure about the cartons because I've seen Google Images of multi gun cases with guns stacked in an alternating manner. So it is possible they had a strong cardboard box with 10 Carcanos stacked in such a way.
Do you have a source for them using both the single box and carton?
So wiki is now a more reliable source than the manufacturer's specs? It is possible the person writing that for wiki made the same mistake you did... and we also know the length was more than 40"...
Whoever it was, was not being accurate, but only general.
Here is RUPP's report about them packing 10 rifles to a carton with each rifle in its own carton. Feldsott also confirms this in his FBI interview.
In either case, as I am showing, the Lipschultz order could have been anything... and still does not answer the question about which rifle KLEINS was shipping for M91/38TS orders for a scoped $19.95 rifle
