Stumbled across this on another site. I didn't know that Remi had ever made a lever action 22. Oh well learn some thing new everyday. Anyone ever owned one of these? What did you think of it?

Remington Model 76 Trail Rider
A leveraction version of the Nylon 66 .22 caliber semi-auto carbine, the Model 76 was made by Remington from 1962 to 1964. It had a magazine tube in the buttstock that held 14 rounds, just like the 66.
The lever operated a rack & pinion gear that gave the levergun a very short and smooth stroke.
It was produced in two models, the Mohawk, which featured a brown stock and blued metal parts, and the Apache which had a black stock and chromed metal parts.
The Nylon 76 is a modification of the Nylon 66 semiautomatic rifle; it is basically the autoloader with a lever attached to the bolt and the semiautomatic feature removed. This weapon was supposed to appeal to people who wanted a modern equivalent of an old-fashioned rifle, but it seems not many of those existed, and the conversion of the Nylon 66 to a lever-action rifle didn’t really work that well, either. Production was stopped after less than two years.
