Ozzy, I'm among those bright enough to know gun laws in the USA are a

misquoted set of lies and taken-out-of-context statements ever. A few
comments he made happened when he was "under attack" by the media.
He was in The Naked Jungle and Planet of the Apes, and that's what
really counts. I mean...the guy was an actor fer cripes sake. Nobody
but the media ever cared about his gun crap. But Soylent Green? Now
THAT was something!
FYI, I own a 1940 Winchester 37 16 gauge and am about to drop a lot of
cash on a rare Winchester 94 30/30.
What makes it "rare"? Model 94s are pretty common, even an old one with
steel but plate and steel sling swivel can be had for a couple of
hundred bucks. Did Chuck Conners use it in "Rifle Man"?

Of the four that Connors used, one was custom and three were made for
him with changes to the trigger gaurd and lever action. I'm going to
have one of his guns in about 6 weeks. I've been friends with his
agent for about 17 years.

Oh oh, the rifle that Chuck Conners used was in fact an model 1892, I
think some is pulling your leg. Save your money.

Did you know that Chuck didn't even know how to load the thing? It was
always done for him by the armorer.
