This new model was the Nylon 76, named the &#8220;Trial Rider&#8221;. It used the same faux-wood styled polymer frame as the Nylon 66, and was actually a pretty good rifle. It has a fast bolt throw and is very handy&#8230;but a proper cowboys-and-Indians rifle it is not. Little Johnny, it turned out, didn&#8217;t really want to play Lucas McCain with a plastic Remington &#8211; lever or not. He wanted a proper wooden Winchester! And thus the Nylon 76 ceased production in 1965 with 26,927 made. That&#8217;s actually quite a lot, but not nearly as successful as the Nylon 66 parent design.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Dutch Hillenburg for loaning me this example to film!<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
