@namvet7275 Aside from the 96,000+ who viewed the video, I guess no one cares. I get over technical all the time, all my bar bets are based on it.

According to Phil Schreier (the Senior Curator) at the National Firearms Museum, on an episode of the Curators Corner, the Winchester 1862 Saddle Ring could fire 12 shots. In the link below you can watch the video where they discuss large lever loop rifle that Connors used and the long-running television series The Rifleman.

@Agardner01 By putting one in the chamber, you would have 12 shots, pull the hammer back and pull the trigger, then cock for the 2nd shot. The way Chuck fires, he would eject the first shot out the chamber, leaving him only 11.

FYI for whoever doesnt know: This rifle was specially made. It has a set screw with a lock nut in the trigger guard loop ring. So each time the loop is open and then shut, the trigger is automatically pulled. He could back the screw out and single fire, or move and lock it for rapid. The Co. still makes these exact rifles,same that made it for the show in CA. They cost $4000 each, and take 6 mos.

Now THAT is Americana, when this country was great. You can buy the exact rifle used on the show for $4000. custom Made. The company that made Connors rifle takes orders in CA, and it takes about 6 months to get. Id love to have one.

There doesn't have to be Brass Ejecting because Connors was the Rifleman & could use "Caseless Rounds" which He had gotten from a Top Secret Research & Development program run by the Department Of Defense, DARPA, & the Central Intelligence Agency. Essentially they were using Compressed Solid Rocket Fuel Bonded behind each Projectile with Super Adhesives! The Concept was to allow each Weapon to hold more Rounds & Reduce the Total Weight of a Combat Load by getting rid of all that extra Brass!

@Agardner01 He fired 6 shots. 2 Bangs per bullet

Chuck Norris (and I) doesn't need a slow-motion to count the shots!

If you look at the 1st lever movement there is no round ejected but a round is being fed into the chamber and upon the lever closing that round goes off. He started off with nothing in the chamber.
