I'm 68 my two brothers and I all had the rifle. AND we can still see! Sooo much fun. I'd gladly pay $50 for a rifle and 5 cartridges just to show my grand kids! Ralph Nader your not invited to the party!! showed this commercial to some young bucks they were jealous of the "toys" we had as kids.
@@Outlaw--JesseBThere was a spring in the shell and the plastic bullet compressed it and clipped in. The hammer caused enough shock to release the clips.I'm 68year now ,and had them as kids. Twin brother had the pistols, I had the Winchester
I'm a 90s baby and remember having a cowboy cap gun set and a daisy lever action pop gun that I still have makes me want to go back in time when things were simple and the only worries were what cartoon was gonna come on at night

In the late 50's and early 60's, Clint Eastwood was known as Rowdy Yates on the TV series Rawhide. We lived in the San Fernando Valley in SoCal and often went up to places like Spahn Ranch where Westerns were filmed. We recognized the rock formations of Santa Susana that were often in the background in TV series Westerns. It's all houses now.
I remember them well. Growing up in the 50's and 60's cowboys were my thing. Imagine trying to sell these toys in todays world? I remember my mother telling me "just don't aim at his head" when playiing cowboys with a friend. Never once did she thing me or my firends would grow up to be a mass killer because we played with toy guns.
My all time favorite was the Jonny reb cannon. I got mine for Christmas one year. It only lasted three hours. My oldest brother broke it when he tried to load all three cannon balls and fire it at the same time.
They never sent those over here to the UK, I would have had one if they did! I did have a really well made lever action cap gun though, metal receiver and barrel, and good strong plastic furniture. The "Laramie Rustler Repeater" iirc. Probably my second favourite toy gun out of the hundreds that passed through my hands. Absolute favourite was an L1A1 SLR that shot plastic bullets.
Back in the 1950s I probably had every handgun holster rifle Thompson machine guns military weapons..After I got done playing with all these toys my mom would just throw them all to the trash..Had the old pedal cars the fire engine with the Bell on the front with wooden ladders they all went to the trash..From the time I was in diapers I remember having the holster with the Chrome look-alike handguns with the pearl handles they would shoot cops and here I am still in diapers..Ya good times..
I had the rifle and pistol, but desperately wanted a bandoleer (two, for crossed slings) but never did get it. I don't remember ever seeing it in the stores.
They also made M1's, bazookas, M2's, Tommy guns, frag grenades, And growing up in a new baby boomer neighborhood with a bunch of veterans as fathers, we learned some tactics, hand signals,
I think the last one is filmed in the same location as the Andy Griffith show intro, and I believe it was also used in some episodes of Combat! and probably some other shows
3:24 The final clip of advertising was filmed, if not mistaken, at Franklin Canyon Lake, 2600 Franklin Canyon Drive, Beverly Hills, used for the opening scene of The Andy Griffith Show.

I played like this in the neighborhood during the 1980s. Only kid that also liked playing cowboys and indians while other kids just knew how to play Rambo, GI Joe and war
I can tell it’s Mattel because it’s swell even though I was never around in the 60s during the time when these noisy cap guns and other various weapons of the west were then around back then in the 60s because I remember lots of children back then wanted to become cowboys And soldiers for the army back in the day and want to play that role by utilizing these toy guns, which made lots of noise back then because I remembered some family members couldn’t tolerate the sounds of these greeny stick caps that were inside these guns back then, and so the children will play with these outsideand away from the houses because they were so noisy back then.
That was the big thing back than in the early to mid 60. I watched Combat and had a toy Tommy gun that fired circular caps. Today these are illegal - even a skwirt gun. A cop today would kill you ..
Keep that.I don't make those guns anymore You can't buy them anywhere I do have A jefferson camp gun But. It broke the Lever Works But you don't get any bullets with it Half of it is Medal The rest of it is plastic
Things sure have changed. If these were still being sold, the company would be getting sued left and right. Now kids just wanna sit on the couch all day on their phones and tablets. sad
Thats around $50 in todays money so not a lot has changed on that. You could get some real guns under $30 back then especially military surplus rifles.
I had the Fanner 50 two gun set, had the Davey Crockett guns, had a toy M-14, & a toy snub nose .38 among other toy guns growing up in the '50s. I saw a man's head be obliterated by an all too real U.S. Army issued .30 caliber M1 Garand. It was one of those 'things you can't unsee' ! No, I don't like guns, at least not what people are carrying these days. If you are a legitamate hunter, you don't need a war weapon to shoot a deer unless your genitalia is the size of a hamster's.
I miss those simpler times. Life was good.

Why did they quit making them? Also how did the shells work/shoot? This looks awesome
@@Outlaw--JesseBindeed they look sick

I'm 67, we lived at the best time possible. All they want to do nowadays is take away all the fun by turning boys into girls!
I'm a 90s baby and remember having a cowboy cap gun set and a daisy lever action pop gun that I still have makes me want to go back in time when things were simple and the only worries were what cartoon was gonna come on at night
Amen to that!
Mattel also made a rolling block shootin' shell rifle. Loved it!
I'm trying to find one
@@TrinkEts666 I've never seen one other than the one I had. I particularly remember that the rolling block was accurate at 15 feet or so while my shootin' shell revolver was not.
I remember that one!!!
it makes you wish you were born in the 1950s i love the wild west and i still do love them so cool
yeah the 50s look cool.. but I’m not white.

Had both Winchester rifles and the Buffalo pistol set. What fun we had then. Could not do that today.
Cool toys from the 60"s
I didn't have
...oh man - that was so cool 60 years ago!!!
I remember these tv ads and toys of the 60's.
I remember them well. Growing up in the 50's and 60's cowboys were my thing. Imagine trying to sell these toys in todays world?

The kids back then had it good.🤠🇺🇸
Had the rifle.
Loved it so much.
This was a neat little rifle. At 74 I now own five lever actions including a Henry. Have never shot anybody don't want to .
I got one for my third birthday and I’ve had a love affair with guns since .

Better made, higher quality than most of my real guns
Wait until ATF sees that secret trigger. Banned for sure!
For sure! They'd call it a bump trigger😳
I'm so mad i couldn't play with these as a kid (i was born in 2007)
Boy: “Gee pops! Thanks! Now I can practice just like The Rifleman!”
God I love this part of our American culture! Make Our Culture Great Again!
I agree, but I'm afraid that ship has sailed. And the government has sunk it.
This makes you regert being born in the 2010s
2024. I need to have this

Ida loved that as a kid I played with the Savannah tenn. toy guns
They also made M1's, bazookas, M2's, Tommy guns, frag grenades,

All the toys I coveted as a child.
I think the last one is filmed in the same location as the Andy Griffith show intro, and I believe it was also used in some episodes of Combat! and probably some other shows
Outstanding
good ole days
I had a few of these over the year (back in the day). And I wonder why I shoot 'lights out' with my Henry lever today... 🤔
Excellent
"With Mattel's Winchester, you'll be able to shoot as fast as The Rifleman"
We played cowboys and Indians out in the fresh air for hours every Saturday. Nobody ever shot an eye out.

Definitely is looks like the exact same location
Bro where was THIS when I was a kid
Had this rifle along with the Jonny 7 and the James Bond Briefcase
I Had both of these and Johnny 7 the Seven guns in one
Plus several cap grenades and cap molintov bottle
PS
I LOST ALL THE BULLETS FIRST THING
I also remember Mattel’s OM toys and OWtoys
I want a full set of all Matels vintage realistic toy guns
8 dollars, today would be like 138 dollars.
Back then: companies operated on the "sell a good product, make a fair profit" rule. Today: companies operate on "pure unbridled greed there's a sucker born every minute" rule.
@@lowercentenary Today a dollar isn't worth the paper it is printed on.
I played like this in the neighborhood during the 1980s. Only kid that also liked playing cowboys and indians while other kids just knew how to play Rambo, GI Joe and war
Those were the days. Folks didn't get offended and nobody whined about guns.
Thanks for uploading this. The wild west is littered with plastic bullets.
$5.50? I'LL TAKE IT!
I wonder if you could put that secret trigger on a real lever gun
Looks like it better construction than a Rossi.

...I had the predecessor of this rifle - the pre-Shootin' Shell version f the Winchester 1982
I had some of them.
Okay. Second commercial. The director says “now when Bob shoots the arrow into the wagon, you guys………”
Why do I like biscuits and bacon 🥓
Had one as t 5,67 with plastic bullets-haven't shot anyone since then!!
Real.
0:55
I got a stick. ☹
me too! funny
That was the big thing back than in the early to mid 60. I watched Combat and had a toy Tommy gun that fired circular caps. Today these are illegal - even a skwirt gun. A cop today would kill you ..
If a kid played with now, fifty women with cell phones would call the SWAT team.
He said please eat your food
Keep that.I don't make those guns anymore You can't buy them anywhere I do have A jefferson camp gun But.
It broke the Lever Works But you don't get any bullets with it Half of it is Medal The rest of it is plastic
Why don't you just give them real Winchester lever action 30-30's. 😐😐😐😐😐
They made the Colt revolver double action… 🤦🏻♂️
Bro just $5.00 thats like $50 in today's economy.
Matty sure looks like an Indian himself!
Things sure have changed. If these were still being sold, the company would be getting sued left and right. Now kids just wanna sit on the couch all day on their phones and tablets. sad
Those werent buffalos those were bisons
Specifically classified as North American Bison.
Approved
buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
I don't like the secret lever rapid fire gizmo. It is not historically accurate. 😃😃😃😃😃
5$ toy gun?!? I wish I was in the 60s cheap and fun now days is 39$ for a small toy gun wtf
Thats around $50 in todays money so not a lot has changed on that. You could get some real guns under $30 back then especially military surplus rifles.
Back in the days where nobody got offended for not being politically correct.
Pretty sure "Indians" got offended. Lol.
@@coryv5679who cares
That kid in the beginning looks like he's balding
Old toys were better than today's shitting toys
