Lost Link - "Rifleman" rifle loop

[hcpookie]

I must have lost several links a few weeks ago, because again I find myself unable to find a certain website!

There is a place that makes the "Rifleman" style cocking levers like the Rifleman TV show. You can take your everyday Winchester 1892 and convert it to the same "quick shot" style he had on the show with the lever. He could shoot by simply pumping the rifle lever due to a set screw that was installed just at the point where the lever locked closed, so someone could carry it loaded, then close the lever and pull the trigger.

Apparently John Wayne used a similar setup in some of his movies, but I don't think his had the "quick shot" screw.


Does anyone remember that setup?


There is a website that makes the same style and I swear I visited it earlier this summer, but now I can not find it

Does anyone have a clue where to find the levers?

Here's a replica. Contact them, maybe? [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Jim Buchanan builds them, maybe he will sell the part: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

All from a quick google on "large ring lever for Winchester Mare's leg"

M&M carries the Rossi factory lever that will also fit the Winchester:

Brownells used to sell one as well but a quick search of their site only brings up Marlin models. Winchester made a factory version for the 94 though, should be available from Gunparts corp as an OEM part if you want to convert a 94.

Yeah the $2600 "antique conversion" rifles is what got me looking for that loop again!


The loop was for sale by itself, so that you could convert "any" rifle to that configuration.


I was researching the pressure capacity for .45-70 lever action rifles when I ran across the shop that sells these. Now my dad wants to add this to his cowboy shooters collection and I'll be darned if I can't find it again

I remember this place, and I'm still hunting around trying to follow links from here:
