The Rifleman
I just realized while watching the end of an old episode of "The Rifleman" that the drawing at the end during the credits has Lucas holding a model 92 with the loading gate on the left side. Does anyone know where I can get one of those?

I cant remember where I seen the article. However it was from a reputable writer. I think Mike Venturo or maybe Gary Sitton. Anyways, There were several (3 I think) of the rifles used in the making of the rifleman. I also understand that Mr. Connors was indeed fairly handy with it as well and was an avid shooter and collector.
O.K. The episode just finished. The credits show what looks like his rifle. The receiver on the rifle looks a little long but the picture is drawn not filmed. I did not see a loading gate on the left side of the receiver but rather what looks like a saddle ring. His rifle is an S.R.C. The beginning of the show shows Chuck blowing off several rounds and then reloading the carbine on the right side. 1886.

SJPrice,
Lucas' Winchester 92 was, essentially, a hopped-up saddle ring carbine, .44 WCF. There were TWO Winchesters used on the show. There was an el Tigre copy used for the "rough handling" sequences. This site will help you:
