Winchester Model 59?

[Frenchy]

Can any one give me some background on this semi-auto! I think it is referred to as the "Win-lite", with an aluminum receiver and fiberglass wrapped barrel. I understand it was produced from late 1959 to about 1965 with less than 100,000 made.
Do any of you have one? What would one be worth in good shape?(I know that is vague)

A friend of my father's had one and loved it for the weight. He used it for upland work, and I bet heavy duck loads were painful.

No idea on value, I believe this was one of those ideas that just didn't catch on,rather than a POC.
