For those inquiring minds it is a modified Winchester 1892 .44-40 lever-action rifle called the "Mare's leg".

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
The bullets on his belt don't fit in his rifle. Mcqueen used the longer bullets for show. I missed the original run of Wanted Dead or Alive but caught reruns in the mid 60s on Saturday. The Bat Car, Maxwell Smart's shoe phone and Mcqueen's mares leg were classic 60s tv props which people will never forget.
"the Magnificent Seven" is one of my favorites.
Way cool!
But, I'd rather have the car over the gun...
