Remington Nylon 76 Trailrider (MB) .22 LR Lever-Action Rifle, 19.5 in Barrel, Mohawk Brown Zytel Stock, 14+1 Capacity
The Remington Nylon 76 Trailrider is notable as the only lever-action rifle Remington ever produced, manufactured circa 1962–1965 with approximately 26,927 built. This Mohawk Brown (MB) variant features a DuPont Zytel nylon stock with the classic white diamond inlay and white line spacers paired to a 19.5 in steel barrel. Its short-throw lever design and buttstock-loading tubular magazine set it apart for both collectors and shooters.
It uses a short-throw, locked-breech lever system of about 30 degrees, feeding from a 14+1 capacity tubular magazine loaded through the buttplate port. Right-side ejection, iron sights, and the distinct nylon furniture give this model its signature handling and look.

Produced in the USA from 1962 to 1965, the Nylon 76 Trailrider occupies a unique place in Remington history as the company’s sole lever-action model. The series is recognized for its short-throw lever stroke of approximately 30 degrees and a locked-breech action that cycles quickly.

Length of pull is 13.5 inches.
