The Rifleman was a Western television program that ran from 1958–1963 on ABC, a production of Four Star Television. The black-and-white program starred former athlete Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain, a widower, Union veteran of the Civil War (lieutenant in the 19th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment), and a homesteader. McCain and his son Mark (singer Johnny Crawford) lived on a ranch outside the fictitious town of North Fork, New Mexico Territory.

The pilot episode was telecast on CBS on Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater. Regulars on the program included Marshal Micah Torrance (Paul Fix) (R. G. Armstrong was the original marshall for two episodes, the 1st and the 4th), Sweeney the bartender (Bill Quinn), and a half-dozen other denizens of North Fork (Hope Summers, Joan Taylor, Patricia Blair, John Harmon, and Harlan Warde were regulars). Fifty-one episodes of the series were directed by Joseph H. Lewis, the director of the classic film noir Gun Crazy (1950), which accounts for some of the show's virtuoso noir lighting and dark, brooding quality. Ida Lupino directed one episode, The Assault. Connors wrote several episodes himself. Robert Culp wrote one two part episode.

The February 17, 1959, episode of The Rifleman proved to be a spin-off of an NBC series, Law of the Plainsman starring Michael Ansara in the role of Marshal Sam Buckhart. In the story called "The Indian", Buckhart came to North Fork to look for Indians suspected in the murder of a Texas Ranger and his family.

An American Western television program The Rifleman, starred Chuck Connors as homesteader Lucas McCain and Johnny Crawford as his son, Mark McCain. It was on aired in 1880’s in the town of North Fork, New Mexico Territory. The show was 1st filmed in black and white format. This show was run on ABC starting from September 30, 1958 to April 8, 1963; it was the production of four star televisions. It, in spite of this was the 1st series ever to have a widowed parent raise a child.

Saying of a network publicist, the series was on aired in the late 1880s. There are also many episodes where the date is given in the late 1880s. Next to the home state there was a wooden plaque. This wooden plaque was rebuilt by Lucas McCain and his son Mark in the august 1881.

The rifleman premiered was less popular than Westerns. The producers of the play struggled to find gimmicks to make the show different from the other. The gimmick of rifleman was a modified Winchester model 1892 rifle with a trigger mechanism that allows for a rapid fire shots.

In spite of this the anachronism; Connors expresses its action of rapid fire during the opening credit as McCain dispatched an invisible villain on Main Street of North Fork. Though it could be possible that the rifle has appeared in every episode, it was not always fired as in drama some plots did not lend themselves to the violent solution, for example a cruel teacher at one-room school of Mark.

There were many episodes where McCain dispatched the bad boy without using his rifle at all and once he threw the rifle to the knock his opponent off his horse instead of killing him, because his character was friendly.

In one episode of the drama McCain even spiked the barrel of his own gun, when he came to know that it was going to fall into the hands of villain so that it will back fire. McCain has also command on use of a six gun though he did not have any one rifle and this aspect of the drama was rarely shown.

The different episode of rifleman promotes the fair play, neighborliness equal rights, and need to control on violence.
