The lever had a set screw in it that tripped the trigger when operated. What would the woke crowd think of a man defending his child with an illegal semi-automatic rifle. Chuck was the AR-15 of his time. The Rifleman Last edited by MM879; 01/26/21.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored." WS

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile. Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe) Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

Sure glad I grew up in the era I did. kaywoodie - you're right about the morals. The writers / producers back then sure did more than just sell ratings. We learnt somthin' when we watched TV gawddammit! Jeezus I sound like an old fart, but IDGAF.

That was nearly every episode. LOL...... Lucas donated to the community. He wasn't a town mouse. He worked hard out on the ranch living the dream. And if you saw the first episode Micah was in, youd expect him to end up as the town drunk rather than the sheriff.
