Retro tv has all kinds of classic stuff like A-team, rockford, kojack, one adam 12, and I'm watching Rifleman right now. What type/caliber of rifle is that which Conner is using?

Anybody else use over the air broadcasts for tv?
Bat Masterson, Banacek, McCloud, Wagon Train, Laramie, Dragnet, Outer Limits, Sea Hunt, Highway Patrol, Elvira... plenty of good stuff on broadcast TV! There’s golf on right now.

The Mrs and I bought this house in 1993 and we have never paid for TV programming. I installed a good antenna on the roof (one of the only ones in the sub) and we never looked back. 18 years at $50 per month adds up to $10,800 plus interest and counting.

The Rifleman used a Winchester 1892 Trapper Carbine that was modified with a large loop lever and a trigger trip screw. It was probably a .44-40, but it could have been a .38-40. I'm sure he was shooting 5 in 1 blanks in the show.
