It's pretty good, but what's up with the same sex crap?
I guess Hollyweird has to add that type of slant to everything they make these day...[V]

Seems to show a magazine sticking out the bottom.
What kind of rifle is he using in the promo?

1907 Winchester in 351 SLR
The Lewis Gun the bl*ck dude was shooting is a little before its time.
I DVR each episode.

That is my point. Its 1915 they were deep in the closet and did not stick their nose out.
Again they have to depict the bl*ck dude as the smartest, fastest, coolest take your pickest, in the bunch, when in reality he would be sharecropping somewhere.
Very entertaining. I understand the whole time line/age thing with Eli, but it's just a tv show!
I enjoy movies and shows that are somewhat loosely based on history.
The Son covers that. Comanches, Texas Rangers, settlers, buffalo hunters, Cattle ranches, oil, Mexican border war, etc.
Not to mention some cool guns and gun fights!
Peace

i didnt take the black as being the smartest at all, just cocky
and there has never been a shortage of "happy's" the just didnt advertise and evidently had no problem finding each other, not much in recorded history but it did exist

The Lewis gun was invented by an American in 1911. He went to Belgium in 1913 to build the gun because the US Army did not want it.
He produced a few and the Belgians bought some in 1913.
In 1914 BSA purchased the license to produce the Lewis and the factory moved to England in 1914.
The guns were produced for the British in late 1914 and on. Some were exported in 1916 to Canada and the US where they were chambered in 30-06.
I think it is a little bit of a fetch that they had a 1st year production model Lewis Gun in TX in 1915..............could it happen yes but its not likely.

Better then most series...
What chaps my butt is how Hollywood just has to reflect that fact in each & every production that they are involved in these days.
I feel it is their attempt to mainstream happiness, so that it is in everyone's face all the time. Thus, making the lifestyle more acceptable to society over time.

Actually, Savage started producing them in 1914 also at the onset of WWI. So they were being manufactured in the United States in 1914.
It sort of shows the "real" world of its time.

I like the leather and period firearms. Was surprised to see the 1910?? Winchester semi auto. Began to pay more attention after I saw that. Am also interested to see how the attempt to steal the Mexican's ranch progresses. I understand that did occur in South Texas on a smaller scale. Walter Prescott Webb alludes to it in an interview some years after writing his book about the Texas rangers. One of the Texas Adjutant Generals was alleged to have participated in a killing some years prior to his appointment.
My friend and neighbor, David Carrico made the holsters and belts. He does great work. I have one of his holsters, still waiting on him to have time to make me a belt to go with it.
Peace
