Log InThe Rifleman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaWesterns were popular when The Rifleman premiered, and producers struggled to find gimmicks to distinguish one show from another. The Rifleman's gimmick was a modified Winchester Model 1892 rifle with a trigger mechanism allowing for rapid-fire shots. Despite the anachronism, Connors demonstrated its rapid-fire action during the opening credits as McCain dispatched an unseen villain on North Fork's main street.
yes that is it
on the winchester it has a safety that the lever has to be pressed in by the lever to fire
they modified it by making the safety the trigger
so that when squezed it would release the hammer
look close

When I was a kid I had a toy Winchester that had a small lever on the trigger guard that would swing out and do basically the same thing. Wish I still had that gun, actually shot plastic bullets.
