Rifleman news? Which rifle?

[gak]

I was looking for a recent thread on the new Rifleman series--and wondering whether any further news? Googling just brings up the same November 2011 info.


But also,..as an interesting related exercise, assuming it's still a "go," what rifle/carbine would y'all like to see Lucas wield this go'round? Offended if he shoots a 92 again, given the 1880s setting? Advance the story forward to 1892 and an older teen or young adult Mark to accomodate? Could a large loop 73 carbine be rigged--at least for Hollywood'n--so as to handle the flip? It's been mentioned maybe even the 92 was modified such? What say you?

As for me, I'm all for period correctness, but the original series' characters and stories were strong enough (and the focus versus dress, etc) such that it's not offensive to me with the 92 and '50s Hollywood hats 'n gun rigs. Not sure about a new go at this. I do think when Mr McCain ventures out on a known dangerous trek, he should have a proper cartridge belt versus the limitations of.a shirt pocket!

I love the original. I also love to see period correctness. That being said, it would be hard to flip a 73 due to its size but I would venture to say that it could be done by a man with strong enough hands.

Not new news but

This line caught my eye:

"Crawford kept in touch with Connors up until the latter’s demise. They actually reprised their beloved roles not long before Connors died, in a 1991 Kenny Rogers TV movie called The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw."

I'll have to find that one just to see Lucas and Mark again...

It comes on the Western channel sometimes.

I tried it again and it opens for me. Try going to youtube and typing "Chuck Connors coward" and it should come up (coward is part of the clip's title IIRC). Should be the first one that crops up. Branded, but Pa and Mark reunited--in a sense. Still can't get/find it I'll try a different address format.

OH yeah....I do remember seeing that show before.

It's about suspension of disbelief. Never mind how YOU would do it or what would really be period correct, just open your mind and enjoy.
