My Uncle was a grip and camera man for the studios that filmed the Rifleman series, I think I have a back up rifle from the show that was given to My Uncle, S#70821 I would like to find out where it was shipped to. I also have the blanks from Paramount studios in there originally Boxes

If this is a Model 1894 it was made in 1899. There are no records on where it was shipped. You might contact the studio for some info but don’t be surprised if they aren’t very cooperative. Are there any other markings on the rifle?

Does your Winchester have the large, oversize D-Loop finger lever like the M92 that Chuck Connors carried in The Rifleman?

Guys I would urge caution here. This wouldn’t be the first time someone posts a scam on here hoping to land a sucker in the PM’s. There are only 2 documented 1892’s from the Rifleman TV show and those are well known. There was a 3rd, the El Tigre a Spanish made Winchester clone that Connors gave to Sammy Davis Jr but that is it for known provenance. Kept in mind, Chuck was alive for 30 years after the show ended and gave 100’s of interviews and always maintained the same set of facts. 3 Rifles were made for and used on the show. There are others that Chuck owned that have surfaced, including one in the NRA museum in VA they call the Rifleman’s Rifle but it was never used on the show. There are also 2 well known Replicas made for Chuck Connor’s after the show ended made by the famous Canadian Gunsmith Maurice “Moe” Hunt. One of these is currently for sale at Rock Island and has a 10 to 25k expected price range. The other is in private hands and someone in the last 60 days tried to pass it off to me as the 2nd actual Rifleman’s rifle and offered to let me have it for only 400k. It is serial # 756277 and last sold in 2024 at an LS&B auction for 42k. I guess my point here is buyer beware 😀
