Remingtons Only Lever Action: The Nylon 76 Trail Rider

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch In 1962, Remington tried to exploit the popularity of popculture cowboys by introducing a leveraction version of its of its Nylon 66 semiauto. 22 rifle. This new model was the Nylon 76, named the Trial Rider. It used the same fauxwood styled polymer frame as the Nylon 66, and was actually a pretty good rifle. It has a fast bolt throw and is very a proper cowboysandIndians rifle it is not. Little Johnny, it turned out, didn t really want to play Lucas McCain with a plastic Remington lever or not. He wanted a proper wooden Winchester And thus the Nylon 76 ceased production in 1965 with 26, 927 made. That s actually quite a lot, but not nearly as successful as the Nylon 66 parent design.
