Rifleman Trivia:
The rifle used in the series was custom made with the loop lever.
The model rifle used was not invented until several years after the time period of the show.
Lucas McCain fires 14 shots in four seconds, racks the action, then tosses the rifle to his left hand & starts reloading.
That barrel woulda been hotter ‘n a firecracker, IMO.
Hmm....
Like almost all Hollywood lever action rifles, a Winchester Model 92. Why did they use the model 92? It would chamber the Five in One blank used by Hollywood which would chamber in the .45 Colt, .44-40, .38-40, .410 shotguns, and .44 S&W. There were five different guns that Hollywood used in Westerns they would easily chamber in. The FX department could easily reload them.
