If the issue is latency, as mentioned by devSeldom, I would recommend doing the following:

toolBin = script.Parent
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
while wait() do
    if toolBin:findFirstChild("Rifle") then
            toolBin:findFirstChild("Rifle").Parent = char
    end
end

Why?

Due to the character sometimes being created before the scripts run, in Roblox Studio, plr.CharacterAdded:wait()sometimes permanently yields the script, which can be a real pain when testing.

This is because of latency, the problem is that local scripts run before the character is loaded causing loads of problems.
