Default The Rifleman

The Rifleman, starring Chuck Connors. Season one, episode 22, The Boarding House. Written and directed by Sam Peckinpah, 1959.

In one scene, the bartender pulls out a sawed off shotgun from behind the bar. It’s a Parker lifter. Would love to know where that prop is now.

I"ve seen that one. Interesting tidbit: Chuck Connor's real name is "Kevin Aloysius." And he played major league baseball and in the NBA. Pretty talented guy!

At 6'5", I'd guess so! What a great show that is. I watch it all the time here and never tire of it.

I agree! An excellent show. Chucks been gone a long time. Johnny Crawford, who played his son Mark on the show, passed away earlier this year at age 76 I believe.

I had a Chuck Conners “Cowboy in Africa” lunchbox when in the first or second grade . Think that show was only produced one or two years .

Here are pictures of probably the same gun when Lee Van Cleef took it away from Micah in episode 26 of season 1.

I wonder if it is the same one used by Kevin Costner in Wyatt Earp?
