I realize they are tough, light, and very fun to shoot (I rescued grandpa's from the barn after we finally got the cat problem under control, and cleaned it up, then just kind of claimed it as mine) but you have to admit, it has a cheap feel and is not all htat solid feeling of a rifle. Not saying it's bad, so don't flame me on that one, but as a Nylon 76 I have to wonder if its any higher quality, because I can only imagine how crappy that lever must feel if it's of the same grade as the original. Did the 76 have a solid feeling lever or was it as thin and floppy as I'm imagining?
