Johnny Crawford played his son. I loved the old westerns.

One of my absolute favorite shows. When I stumble on it I keep watching. I love the relationship between Lucas and Mark. Lucas is always the moral center of North Fork.

Mr_Hve_Fun, Chuck was drafted by the California Angels professional baseball team, as well as by the Boston Celtics for his basketball prowess. His son's name on the show was definitely Mark, as I was named after him!
toothless beachrat
MeagerCommandant3, Chuck was also drafted by the (then) California Angels, as well as by the Boston Celtics for his talents in the game of basketball!

Johnny Crawford's brother was in the western series Laramie

that is not a picture of Lucas McCain rifle
Hawken
Andy, nope. The 30-30 wasn't created until 1895. Could've been the 44-40, created in 1873.

I think it's an M1.30 caliber carbine...
Dave
Thunderduck,
It is an acquired talent, also hard on the weapon if not executed properly...

Uninitialized,
Different show, but still cool!
Dave
That's an M1 .30 caliber carbine rifle depicted, unless I'm mistaken... Pretty sure that weapon didn't even exist yet in that era...
Linda Anne
Chuck was my dad's cousin..good guy and actor
Johnnycat

Thunderduck
Tried and tried and tried to mimic his rifle firing. Never could...

He was so manly. That show had good morals. Interesting Chuck was from Brooklyn NY.

Chuck Conners was also the first NBA player to break a glass backboard.
Guillermo
as a single Dad.. I could relate even more than when I watched as a child..
Mr_Hve_Fun
JimmyLovesQL, Oh yeah the son was Mark, have you noticed or is just me...probably does not mean a thing...but they had Biblical names... yes another widowed father and son show was the Andy Griffith Show...Who can forget Opie Taylor
Mr_Hve_Fun
:(Nancy E):, I am sad I guessed Crawford because I thought the son was Luke, I need help or I will watch the show, the reruns are still on TV...One thing about Conners, he went to Los Angeles hoping he could play for the Dodgers and wounding up being the "Rifleman"...oh oh just he played pro baseball...could be there were "farm" teams I am not sure now, maybe someone can give me the skinny on this...I still say Luke was the son...
