The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) convened a firearms panel during their tenure to examine all the ballistic evidence related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK). This included the event of April 10, 1963, the shooting at of retired General Edwin A. Walker (EAW).
The HSCA Says...The Walker Bullet.
**************************************
The HSCA would write the following about the topic of this post -- the EAW alleged bullet.

(10) In addition to these other items, the Warren Commission obtained the bullet recovered by the Dallas police after an attempted assault on General Walker in Dallas on April 10, 1963. It was delivered to the FBI laboratory on December 4, 1963, for analysis. Although the Commission concluded that Oswald fired the bullet, the FBI laboratory could not conclusively identify it with the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. (HSCA VII, p. 356)

How do you solve a case as quickly as the Dallas Police Department (DPD) and the FBI did in November 1963? You just ignore what the actual evidence shows and make claims that fit your narrative whether they have support or not, and in the case of the Warren Commission (WC) they did not have support. When did the WC ever support the claim that the bullet they presented, Commission Exhibit (CE) 573, was the actual bullet recovered from EAW's home by the DPD? The answer is they didn't, but here the HSCA just acts as if they did. Why? This is a major point as studying the wrong bullet does not advance the case at all. Perhaps that is the purpose.
Even with this chicanery we see they have to admit that the FBI laboratory "could NOT conclusively identify it [CE 573] with the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle. [CE139]" This is a non-matter anyway since the WC never bothered to support their claim that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) ever owned CE 139 or fired a shot at EAW. This is why people are still investigating and studying this case going on fifty-eight years later! The WC had the full weight of the U.S. Government behind it and this is the best they could do?
The HSCA would try to save the day but presenting more unsupported claims.

(14) Regarding the bullet fired at General Walker, the FBI was unable to identify it with the rifle found on the sixth floor of the depository due to its mutilated condition, although it had the same physical characteristics as the bullet of the cartridge found in the chamber of the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle and other Mannlicher-Carcano ammunition. (Ibid., p. 357)

Notice how they slipped in "the FBI was unable to identify it with the rifle found on the sixth floor of the depository" as if it was ever proven that the rifle found on the sixth floor of Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) is the same 40" Mannlicher-Carcano (M-C) that is in evidence? Furthermore, there is more evidence for a 7.65 mm Mauser being found initially by the DPD and members of the Sheriff's department shortly after the entered the TSBD.
The language is silly too as appearing similar and being conclusively matched, something they could not do, are two different things. This is just more doublespeak trying to cover-up the fact they cannot match the bullet the WC claimed was relevant to the rifle the WC said was relevant.
The HSCA had to admit again that they could not match CE 573 to CE 139 [alleged murder weapon].

(223) The CE 573 Walker bullet was compared microscopically with the FBI test-fired bullets. A correspondence of class characteristics was found, but a correspondence of individual identifying characteristics was not found. Conversely, no gross differences were noted. The panel concluded that the Walker bullet was too damaged to allow conclusive identification of the bullet with a particular firearm. (Ibid., p. 380)

In a court of law the only thing that matters is can you conclusively match a bullet to a gun. The WC, FBI, and HSCA could not. The excuse of it being "too damaged" doesn't matter. They somehow managed to link fragments allegedly found in the presidential limousine with CE 139, so why not this bullet? This conclusively shows us that LHO could not be linked to the shooting of EAW. The fact that they could not show that he owned and used CE 139 really makes the official conclusion a mockery.
If you encounter anyone who claims that LHO fired a shot at EAW then just show them this.
