Not saying you’re wrong but how are you so certain? Plus why tf would he be carrying a fully assembled rifle through the school open areas? Of course someone would notice/see it.
Simple. That model isn’t built to be disassembled

That gun was probably his grandfathers hunting rifle judging by the condition.

There’s nothing in the video that looks like a gun. All you can see is a guy climbing off the roof. Some people say he tossed before jumping but then where is that shown?

I recall hearing that the gun itself may have been an older Mauser style rifle with a more modern stock. Cox made an odd comment about the scope as well. I heard online that the gun may have been acquired through people on Discord, but none of that is confirmed.
People, especially younger posters, have to understand that this isn’t an episode of law and order. The investigation is active and they will only release info that either doesn’t compromise the investigation or helps it. Be patient.

You're wrong. That rifle requires a lot of equipment to disassemble.
He is carrying it wrapped up in a blanket or towel when he jumps off the roof.

How am I so sure? Have you ever disassembled a firearm, specifically a rifle? He doesn’t have enough hands to hold a stock, a barrel, the scope and the bolt and chamber all while on a dead run in under 20 seconds. He needs hands to disassemble any firearm. Beyond that, if your goal is to escape do you want to be carry 1 solid object or a half dozen? As far as carrying a weapon through open areas, he purposely chose exiting via the roof instead of the stairs because it minimized his exposure in open areas as it gave him the quickest path back into the neighborhood

A lot of those old Mauser's were imported into the country decades ago and then sporterized. Meaning they were re-barrelled to fire a more common cartridge such as 30-06 and then had the stocks modified or replaced to improve them for hunting.
Hunters wanted them because the action is superb on the those rifles and it was a cheap way to get a very good and accurate hunting rifle without breaking the bank at the time.
Odds are, his father had it in a closet somewhere or one of his associates stole it from the collection of one of their parents/grandparents. Whomever mounted the scope had no idea what they were doing though, as the scope is mounted too far back on the rings with the back set right up against the turret and the front ring set is on the very front of the tube before the scope housing expansion.
A lot of people keep asking where was the gun when he was fleeing the roof; You can see he has it wrapped up in a towel or something and he is running with it. When he goes to drop off of the roof, you see him throw it down on the edge and then he hangs over the side of the building. Then then takes his right arm and grabs the wrapped rifle then falls off the ledge. As he hits the ground and starts running away, you can see him tuck the wrapped rifle under his right armpit as he runs off.
He probably had scoped out a place before hand to ditch the rifle, or whomever was assisting him scoped that out for him. That is why they found it wrapped up in the brush when they found it.

Why is there this juvenile need to have the investigators dump every scrap of information as soon as they get it like y'all are binge watching a series on Netflix? It's obvious some of y'all have never been remotely involved in a criminal investigation. There are still people to be interviewed. As an investigator, you don't always want the subject to know what cards you're holding.
I know that doesn't satisfy the infantile "I want it now!" crowd, but there it is.

Because for a little while they got to feel like they were a part of it and now they aren’t. There’s an excitement in the period where new information is coming in and people are trying to decipher it and piece everything together, trying to ID the guy and figure out what happened.
