In my post (# 10), the photo is of actor Paul Fix, who plays Micah Torrance; and becomes the marshal in the fictional town of North Fork, New Mexico, in Season 1, episode 4 of THE RIFLEMAN.

He is the one with the Parker hammer shotgun in that episode, and handles it like someone who has a familiarity with guns. He was in the service (in real life).

That same gun apparently was used by the Lee van Cleef character in a later episode.

Episodes can be viewed, subject to periodic commercials, free of charge on youtube.

I have been "tuning-in" a few times since I saw the original post. Kathy G. has always been a fan of the series, and really enjoys it, too.

The series may lack the polish of modern productions, but the moral code is sound, and the struggles with miscreants as well as personal demons are plausibly life-like.

It works for me, as we near the close of the year 2020, for sure.
