The 'Other' weapons in ''The Rifleman.....''
thanks Shawn!
Hello, all!.....Lucas' rifle is the most well-known of all the weapons on the show. I noticed a few other noteworthy guns, too.
Let's start with Mark's rifle. The Gunshop owner, (Mark's Rifle—episode #150) tells Mark & Lucas that it was a .22, and that is correct. He also states it is a "'73", and that is wrong. It appears to be a Winchester 1890, like this one:

Next, let's look at Jeremy Pennebroke's rifle, from "Sporting Chance". He says he made it himself. In reality, it looks like a Colt Lightning, like this one:

...and Pennebroke's was nickel-plated
As a side note, I noticed that in the episode "The Stand-In", one of the wagon guards (Richard Devon, I believe), hits the prisoner with a rubber revolver. The barrel bends when he strikes the convicts fingers & window bars
