#The rifleman

[olivepopsicle]

btw non-toxic masculinity is not a new concept. Y’all ever seen the Rifleman? Single dad in the Wild West, raising his son to be a good man who respects women, respects all people and treats everyone like a person, and to always do the right thing even if it’s hard. Like- this show is in black and white. This is not a new concept. “Oh it was the attitude of the time” no excuse. be like Lucas McCain or perish

Joan Taylor as Wanda in the motion picture Rose Marie. Interesting enough, she was born Rose Marie Emma.

This rapid fire mechanism was designed originally just to keep Chucks finger from getting punctured by the trigger as he fired and cocked the rifle very fast. The role demanded that. To have a rifle modified in this way certainly presents a safety hazard since the gun will fire in a semiautomatic fashion as the lever is cocked if the screw is turned in to initiate the trigger. The Rifleman cocked the rifle in two unique fashions. He spin cocked it and swing cocked it. These two cocking methods enabled Chuck to cock the rifle using only one hand. The weapon that made the Rifleman a television legend was an 1892 .44-40 Winchester carbine. The gun itself was specially modified with a large loop and metal tab to turn his rifle into a rapid-firing machine. The modification was made giving Connors the ability to spin and cock the rifle in a dramatic fashion. The trigger guard was retooled with a screw to trip the trigger every time the lever was closed. The gun became an icon for Connors, and today is one of the most recognizable guns in the world. Source

the plot:

By "old" I mean the series that aired from the 1950-1970's , as I feel that's kind of the "classic" western age

Theres A LOT of western shows, but I chose some that I think are a little more popular/well known, and/or that I enjoy
