Mike DiMuzio knows what it means to “shoot straight from the hip.”
DiMuzio is a leading expert on the legendary TV western series, “The
Rifleman,” and builds replicas of the unusual rifle used on the program. The
Kings Mountain resident also is the only performer in the world who is able to
do the rapid-fire rifle stunts made famous by Chuck Connors in the classic show.

Chuck Connors was more than just a firearms enthusiast. All of the firearms in his personal collection were very important to him. Connors proudly displayed them in his home and carried a 357 revolver on his person.

The weapon that made the Rifleman a television legend was an 1892 Winchester carbine. The gun itself was specially modified with a large loop and metal tab to turn his rifle into a rapid-firing machine. The modification was made giving Connors the ability to spin the rifle in a dramatic fashion. The trigger guard was retooled with a setscrew to trip the trigger every time the lever was closed. The gun became an icon for Connors, and today is one of the most recognizable guns in the world.
