When you consider God's Holiness and mankind's sinfulness its a wonder that any of our sins can be forgiven.

Sure, it's possible, and any sin can be forgiven.
McVeigh chose the poem "Invictus" to be his last words, so it sounds like he wasn't interested in Christianity to me.
Invictus
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

I guess only Timothy McVeigh could answer that, as he is the only one who knows what was truly in his heart during the last seconds of his death. Did he sincerely ask for forgiveness as his life was ebbing away?

Yes. God's justice, forgiveness and mercy is beyond our understanding.
That said, they say the way a person lives is the way a person dies.

It could be if he repented, but he didn't repent all the way to his death he felt they were casualties of war and that it was justified. We must mortify all sin not justify it.

I give the notion of "golden streets" in "heaven" a very low order of probability.

all sin confessed and salvation being accepted entitles all Gods creature to be forgiving.

I'm a bit more worried that Jeffrey Dahmer could be having meals with some of the people he ate.
"Wanna come over for dinner?"
