The Rifleman’s Rifle

By Joe Berk

As a kid growing up in the ’50s, I watched a bunch of cowboy movies and TV series.  One was The Rifleman, starring Chuck Connor.  Unlike most of the TV shows in which the hero carried a Colt 1873 Single Action Army revolver (a “six shooter”), Connor’s character carried a Winchester 1892.  The rifles he used recently went up for auction, and the price attained was stratospheric.
