Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered what make and model those guns in Mayberry county's wall rack were? When the Andy Griffith Show aired on CBS, I was a young teen and my older brother was introducing me to the shooting sports. Now retired, I found myself reviewing the show's reruns and my interest piqued, and not for the first time. It was like trying to Name That Tune using quick visual hints in lieu of musical notes. I discovered no less than eight web sites that attempt to enumerate the firearms of Mayberry. If you were perusing these sites, you will come upon quite a few suggestions, the most common refer to Winchesters; Models 12, 21, 61, 70, 92, and 94. I think it high-time for us to wade into the gun smoke, a gun aficionado's' aroma therapy, to see what we can find. You may not find all the answers here, but it is not all about firearms. I hope that you will also find my book a nostalgic and entertaining tribute to the show where we might all wish it was really like back then. If you were to Google, The Andy Griffith Show, over 20-million results will result. Well, GOL-LEE!
