The Rifleman
While watching a rerun this morning of The Rifleman, starring Chuck Connors, I noticed the shotgun which the town Marshal, Micah Torrance was carrying. It happened to be what appeared to be a top lever Parker brothers with barrels cut down to approximately 18 inches. The gun wasn't displayed too prominently but when the bad guy took it from the Marshal and shot it out the window to unload it the gun was definitely a Parker hammer gun. I know this is not earth shattering news but it did my heart good to see the old gun. I wonder where it is now, maybe still in a movie firearms prop storage facility or possibly sold to someone in the public arena.
