The following weapons were used in the television series The Rifleman:


Winchester 1892

The Winchester Model 1892 is the signature weapon of Lucas McCain (Chuck Connors). The famous opening shows Lucas firing 12 shots from his Winchester in less than 5 seconds! The rifle is fitted with a large lever loop to allow one hand reloading.

The Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine with large lever loop used by John Wayne in the film True Grit. Serial #501892. Pictured with .44-40 shells. (Source: Photocopied from book "The Peacemakers: Arms and Adventure in the American West" written by R.L. Wilson.)

As you can see Lucas tapped in a machine screw into his trigger guard. Every time he worked the action the rifle would fire. A simple twist of the screw would disable this feature for normal operation.
