On March 12, 1963, Oswald placed an order for another mail-order weapon. This time it was for a "6.5 Italian Carbine" from Klein's Sporting Goods located in Chicago, as advertised in the February 1963 "American Rifleman". Using the alias "Alek Hidell", a variation of the "A.J. Hidell" alias employed to purchase the Smith & Wesson pistol five weeks earlier, Oswald ordered the rifle (model not given in the advertisement), complete with an attached new 4x telescopic sight, for $19.95 () plus postage and handling. His money order for this amount included the price of the rifle ($12.78), plus a telescopic sight ($7.17) that was to be custom mounted to it as part of the package. The rifle was also shipped to him at his post office box in Dallas, also (by coincidence) on March 20, the same day as the pistol. He picked up the rifle at the post office on March 25.
