I recall some serious rod activity in either Witchita or Manhatten. It's been too long, but there was a club there with several top line customs that roamed the streets of Ks. in the 60's when I went there as a kid.

well i thought the pic would show but oh well. anyway i had that very same rifle when i was about 4 yrs old. my mom said when i was trying to be a lucas mcain i wasnt tall enough and when i twirled my gun i broke it on the floor. saidf i cried for 2 weeks.they bought me a parakeet to shut me up because they couldnt find another rifle

 

Trust me it was. I suffer from tinnitus today from not having ear plugs back in the late 60's. Tom S. in Tn.

 

Lucas Mcain was the baddest mofo on the planet. Chuck Norris idolized him so much, he changed his name from Fred to Chuck.




That's what I heard....anyhow
