The Rifleman was one of my favorite western TV dramas, too, mainly because it wasn't all about that customized Winchester repeater. In many episodes, Lucas McCain never fired a shot, instead relying on his brains to save the day -- this was important because virtually every episode focused on Lucas imparting life lessons to his son, Mark, teaching the boy how to think instead of how to resolve problems through violence.
The show did inspire my lifelong interest in guns and gun safety. Interestingly, while I became proficient with a number of handguns, shotguns and rifles, I never owned nor have ever fired a Winchester repeater.

Hi Charles, I'm Mike DiMuzio, and I've been a Rifleman fan for most of my life. I've loved the tv show for as long as I can remember. Not just the saga of Lucas and Mark McCain though, I've also loved that rifle for as long. On my site I share with you a little about the show, the rifle, and even how you can own a rifle just like The Rifleman's. Drop me a line, and we can talk about the Rifleman replicas I use!
I wanted to create an online community where fans of the tv show and the rifle can get together. So come on in, pull up a chair by the fire and join us over on the Discussion Board as we chat about Chuck, the show, and of course - the rifle!
The Gaston Gazette did a little article on me that you may enjoy. http://www.riflemansrifle.com/picts/ggarticle...

The Rifleman, Mike DiMuzio - "Shoot out at Circle M City Ranch" - Mike DiMuzio

“Not since Chuck Connors have we seen anyone handle the rifle with such skill and expertise”.

This NEW video will be the first time you've seen someone shoot, twirl and spin that rifle with such precision and ease, as Chuck Connors did it on “The Rifleman” T.V. show!!

Expert Rifleman Mike DiMuzio is drawn into a gun battle by card shark assassin Johnny T. and his gang. Watch as he defends Circle M city using his skill with the famous Rifleman’s rifle!
In this video you will see me actually use the rifle as Chuck Connors did on the television show "The Rifleman. I hope you all enjoy it. It was made for your enjoyment and entertainment.
