The Book of Job
"Help me saddle up boy.....I want to tell you a story. Come on....." "Along time ago in a country so far west, it's almost due east of here.....lived a big stock man with a beard so long it reached down to his belly button." "His name.....was Job."

This is what I call The McCain Ranch "Bloopers" pages . . . . . there are oodles of blooper pages, yes —bloopers! Believe it or not, "The Rifleman" did have its share of Bloopers! But then I think we're all aware of that by now! I will be going back and adding the earlier ones from time to time. This will take a while, so please bear with me. I sure could use any and all help, please feel free to send me anything you might find interesting. I'll see if I can capture it and add it to one of these pages.

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for participating in this—Keep 'em comin' . . . . .

Chuck and Arnold Palmer were good friends, so it was not surprising when Chuck gave Arnold Palmer a rifle from the TV Series " The Rifleman " - See where one of the original rifle is today.
Do you know how many rifles there were? Was it 2 or 3 or more original rifles?
