There were a total of 5 rifles used by Lucas McCain. 4 were Winchester Model 1892 carbines in caliber 44-40, the fifth was an El Tigre copy of a Winchester 92, used in scenes where the rifle might be damaged. Of course, all were modified with the large loop lever, with a screw in the lever that would trip the trigger for rapid fire.

The rifle is a modified Winchester Model 1892 (even though the show was set in the year 1880). In addition to two of the Winchester guns, a Spanish-made Gárate y Anitúa "El Tigre" lever action (a close copy of the Winchester) was used in scenes where the rifle would be dropped, used as a club, etc) to keep from damaging the Winchesters. The rifles were in caliber 44-40, and shot 5-in-1 blank cartridges on the show.

It has happened. During the American Civil War, a Union rifleman fired his rifle, and the projectile collided with the projectile fired by a Confederate rifleman - in the barrel of the Confederate's rifle. IIRC, that rifle was displayed in the Museum of American History.


Where is the rifle that the rifleman used?

Winchester but I'm not sure exactly what model. The Winchester has a cocking lever built into the trigger guard. His rifle had a modified cocking lever that was larger and allowed fast cocking.


What is a Rifle Man?

I assume you are asking what is a "Rifleman" versus "Uh, what is a rifle, man?" The short answer is that a Rifleman is a man who wields a rifle. The somewhat longer answer... Rifleman is a largely military term, and is still used today. An example is the US Marine mantra that "Every marine is a rifleman." That is, every US Marine has been trained to use a rifle regardless of what is actual job is. Despite what the media has likely portrayed to you, and what historical narcissists who enjoy fetishizing ancient weapons such as swords often think; using a rifle is a specific skill set. Sure anyone can pick up a gun and shoot someone, but so too can anyone pick up a sharp instrument and stab someone. There is a huge difference in being able to physically use a rifle, being proficient in the use of a rifle, and mastering a rifle. That is the difference between a man with a rifle, and a rifleman. A Rifleman is a soldier who has trained to proficiency in the use of his rifle. He knows how to provide basic maintenance for his rifle. More importantly, has at least a working knowledge of how to account for effects such as windage and ballistic drop which are key in providing the accuracy at distance which makes rifles superior to handguns. Depending on the organization and/or individual he may have additional training such as how to use a bayonet; or to provide fire at longer than typical ranges. Prior to the Rifleman there was the Musketeer, a soldier wielding the rifle's forebearer known as the musket. Before the Musketeer was the Pikeman, who as his name implies wielded a pike.

Where can you purchase an affordable riflemans rifle?

If you mean the rifle used in the TV series The Rifleman, that was a modified Winchester Model 1892- which is a rather pricy collector's rifle. However, the Spanish made El Tigre was used in the show as well (when rifle was to be dropped or thrown) and is less expensive. Start by checking with a well connected gun shop.
