The Rifleman

The Prodigal - S2-E31

Continuity mistake: During most of the show Billy is wearing a shirt and vest. When he starts to go outside to face his ex partner it shows him wearing the vest. When he stands up to go outside he has coat on. When he gets outside he's back in the vest.

Old Tony - S5-E26

Continuity mistake: Lucas, Micah and Joe are riding to the home of Old Tony and the sleeves of Lucas' long-sleeved shirt are rolled up. In a long shot, as Tony watches the men approach, Lucas' sleeves are down. In the following close-up, the sleeves are rolled up.

Steven Lee

The Angry Gun - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: The wagon is full of bundles of barbed wire when the boy falls off his horse and into the barbed wire fence. The boy is injured and loaded into the same wagon, that is now completely empty.

Closer Than a Brother - S3-E22

Revealing mistake: In the saloon, Micah announces he is resigning as sheriff. He sets two bottles of liquor on the bar and Lucas McCain immediately slaps them away. The bottles are obviously not real because they shatter into hundreds of pieces as soon as Lucas touches them.
