Re: Interesting site on Rifleman and his gear and technique.

Bullard4075, The producers of The Rifleman wanted a different gimmick for their main character. All of the famous cowboys knew how to handle a sixgun, so the trick rifle became Lucas' trademark.

Bullard4075, If your Model 72 has a little screw near the trigger, then don't monkey with it. The screw does not adjust trigger-pull. The little screw is for adjusting the elevator, and it indicates an early model. Modern Henry H001-series rifles are very much like the Ithaca/ Erma/ Iver Johnson rif...
