There are many illegal rip-offs of Rifleman DVDs out there, but this is a legal good quality DVD via MPI Home Video. See the link below for more info on Rifleman DVDs.[...]My advice is to make sure your Rifleman DVD is from the studio of MPI Home Video (which this one is). I've been burned on illegal Rifleman knock-offs copied and shipped from China. They were cheaper, but the quality was terrible. The quality of this DVD from MPI is excellent.
