Remington Nylon 66

[586L-Frame]

Just took my newly purchased Remington Nylon 66 .22lr rifle in Mohawk Brown that I purchased from Shootin Shack Guns in Elk Grove to the indoor shooting range,
The Gunroom.
I forgot how much fun it was to shoot .22's with this rifle.
Very happy that I purchase this to replace the one I owned 50+ years ago that was stolen from my camper years ago.
I also have a Remington Nylon 66 Black Apache with the chrome receiver.
Both are Fun shooters.
Anyone else have one?

My dad bought one from Gemco in the 70s. Must be at least 50,000 rounds through that thing. Last year, he brought it down to me. Went to the range and still as accurate as every. Took it home and cleaned it - dad never did. There was so much junk and sludge, but never a FTF or FTE. Great gun and not one that will ever be sold.

It was a Christmas gift when I was a kid. It was my first .22 and it was stolen when I was a college student in a break-in. I loved that gun.

My mom got me one when I graduated from HS in 1979!
She bought it at a Kmart.
I hope to pass it down to any future grandchildren.

I bought one earlier this year on calguns, have had a blast shooting it. What a great rifle for its age.

A Nylon 66 is on my short list of rifles to buy, just waiting for the right deal.

I don't own a Nylon 66, but a friend of mine has one. Being an old wood and metal man at the time, I use to trash talk him when we were doing shooting about owning a "plastic gun". But I've seen him do some fun plinking with it and the synthetic stock was a forerunner of all synthetics used in firearms today. There use to be a marketing advertisement I think I saw many years ago of someone running over the rifle with a car ...I guess since a Nylon stock was such a novelty at the time, they wanted to show how tough the rifle was.

If you search "Remington Nylon 66" on YouTube, you'll find a lot of reviews and shooting videos on the rifle. The reviews all say good things about the rifle. Here are links below to a couple of videos for you Nylon 66 fans, evidently they are also collectible these days according to the author of the first video.

Yes VERY collectable for those that are in the know. I'm happy with my Mohawk Brown though.
