Here is the Parker lifter Micah used in season 1, episode 4 of The Rifleman. It sure would be nice to own it today!

I would like to see the Sharps that Burt Lancaster used in Valdez Is Coming to shoot several hombres off horseback at nearly 1000 yds.

Another I'd like to see is the double shotgun used by Viggo Mortensen (Everett Hitch) in Appaloosa. Great western movie, BTW. It was a 12 ga. that was sleeved to look like an 8 ga., by the movie's armorer.

Two dang good westerns, if I do say so myself.

Yeah, Calvin, it was Dan Blocker, the Bonanza star, that shared ownership of race cars with my childhood buddy, Michael Sheridan. They had garage space in Kensington, Maryland in a place called "Gasoline Alley". Mike and Dan were both about the same size, so it is hard to believe that they could sit an open wheel one seater. Mike was quite the mechanic and I suppose Dan Blocker was the money behind the partnership.

When I first started in the gun business one of my mentors was Don Criswell. He was a CPA and handled accounts for many of the Hollywood production companies. He would sell or lease guns to them with a buy back option. If you look closely at shows like Andy Griffith you will see Winchester model 21s,Parkers and great lever actions on the racks behind the desk.

I've seen those Mayberry guns John, every time I see that show.

Great American values in that show...
