That Looks Familiar
You would think that with the show being called The Rifleman, the gun used would be a very special one. And you would be correct to think that way, at least according to reports. Rumor has it, the rifle is the very gun used by John Wayne in Stagecoach. The gun in question is believed to be the Winchester 1892 .44-40 and one of the most memorable scenes where it was featured was the opening credits where Connors actually fires the gun a total of 12 times.
