I still love my old ‘Remington Nylon 66’, and after 30+ years it still shoots great. In fact, lately I’ve considered making a hobby out of refurbishing them. :)

I`ve always thought that Nylon 66 is the best .22 ever

made.The gun has always fired for me except for about

twice in the 35 or so years I`ve owned it

Read somewhere its the favorite gun of Eskimos,it will

work in pretty bad conditions

I loved mine too. Sold it to a fisherman in AK in 1974. Marlin 795 now. Cheap, 3 extra 10-shot clips, scoped, it's even better. Never misfired nor jammed unlike the 66 regardless how fast you pull the trigger. Man, that 795 is accurate! http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/SelfLoading/795.asp

Remington Nylon 66 *bang bump*

Designed in the 50s and made out of this revolutionary stuff called Zytel, Remington’s Nylon 66 was a plastic rifle decades before plastic guns were cool. This one was a compact, super light little semi-automatic .22 that had a 14 shot magazine in the stock. What made it really cool was that most of the gun was made from plastic. The stocks, the receiver, the trigger, the trigger guard, most of the internal parts - all made from this rock hard stuff called Zytel, which was a Bakelite kind of plastic first cousin to nylon. The parts never wore, never gummed up, never froze together, and almost never even needed oiling. Only the barrel, the bolt, the receiver cover and a few springs were made from steel, while the magazine tube was made from brass. And the one pictured here, an Apache Black model, had chromed steel instead of blued carbon steel, for even more weatherproofing. It really was a last-forever little rifle. The design intended to save money made Remington a small fortune.
