I guess I am not the only one that watched The Rifleman
(still on every day here in fact)
Are you kidding? I used to really, really want a Winchester with no trigger.
Then I figured-out that I'm not as good as Chuck Connors at shooting from the hip while I'm walking or riding a horse or jumping off a roof.
I don't remember what the kid's name was. I know I could look it up, OH MY GOSH, I think I suddenly remember. Was it Marty, or am I confusing some old Disney thing or Back to the Future?
It is now 6:30am and I have been up for just over 3 hours, it is still dark outside, so maybe the end has come and I am just waiting. I hope I don't miss it!

The rifle in question did have a trigger. There were different arrangements. Some employed a "set screw" or a cam to compress the trigger when the lever was all the way home, causing the hammer to drop. It was a true hollywood "toy".
Where I was going to teach... *slow insulted blink* I was considered to be a risk let loose in a classroom... Their words. Well in fact their words were "'n risiko laat loos in 'n klasroom" but it means the same thing. I was quite put out about it at the time, but I see now why I worried them. :))) Of course, since then, I've been learning at the feet of a child, how to put compartmentalised thinking behind me, and perhaps a little to one side so I can find it in an emergency (and not trip over it in one) to explore the delights of taking flying leaps in the multi-dimensioned landscapes of joined up thinking :) How are we all getting on with that by the way? :) Progress...? Many a wild goose chased down a blind alley? :) Not that there's anything wrong with the compartmentalised style of course :) it just has less arabesques and innovative jete's in it.

Mornin Rob !
I purchased a Winchester back in the mid - 1970's. Even though I'm usually a
pretty good shot, I couldn't hit much with it ( Later on, folks more knowledgeable
than me told me you have to buy an old one manufactured prior to 1964. Apparently
the pre 64 had much better hand fitting and overall quality control )
BTW: During the 5 year run of "The Rifleman" Chuck AKA Lucas McCain killed
an estimated 2.5 people per episode !
Not bad since the show was only 30 minutes long !
