My reference notes that they made ( 2 ) different .22 autos, in relatively small numbers, during the 50's & 60's.
If you can post some quality pictures, or at least give a concise description of the physical dimensions and action mechanism, it MIGHT? be possible to identify the rifle your inquiring about.

It's a RALOCK action which is actioned by a lever. Butt feed .22 and the cases apparently eject into the lever box. 0 -

That's the earliest and the more unusual/rare of the two. It was only made for a couple of years in the late 40's early 50's, in small numbers. Unfortunately there isn't a picture in the reference. Any chance that you can post one? I can't visualize what a semi-auto action with a "radial moving breech" looks like?0 -
Yes I can post one tomorrow. Do I just click on insert image when posting a reply? 0 -

I got this information from one of the MilSurp sites. It gives you information on how to post pictures.
First thing you need is a site to host your picture. What I mean by that is that you will need to upload your pictures to a web site that will host(display) them for you. You should not use your hard drive to host pictures for safety sake. Use www.photobucket.com to host your pictures.
After you have uploaded your pictures to the site that will host them for you(per their directions), the next thing you will want to do is go to the picture hosting site and view the picture. While you are viewing the picture, right click on it and you'll see another window that should pop up, now click on "properties" and copy the picture URL. If you know how to "copy & paste" this will be a piece of cake.
Now that you have the picture URL and your ready to post your picture. Do the following, use the following code except take out the "*" asterisk. The "*" asterisk is used here only so you can see the code. In other words if I posted the code without the "*" asterisk you will see a picture instead of the code. Anyways use this code to post your picture..

I am attempting to paste a URL for pictures. I apologize if I fail, it's like walking blindfolded in the dark on another continent, wearing roller skates, holding a map of Uzbvekistan and trying to drink coffee, without spilling, while expounding the merits of the internet. cheers,Plads

Not a clue! never layed eyes on one before. Even with the pictures don't understand how a semi-auto with a "radial" action would work well? Only other 22's with a radial action I'm familar with were the original single shot Floberts.
Who ever was responsible for your rifle, was probably a engineer who was delusional. Hard to see how it ever got funded, and it ever saw the light of day?0
