Remington Nylon 66

[lincolnjeffries]

Is anyone shooting a Remington Nylon 66 ? This a rifle that has always interested me, as was an innovator in its day. Wonder how well they shoot. You do see the odd one for sale in the UK.

Didn't they get ladders in the stocks?

OK I'm getting my coat

Shooter at the club has one and it is very accurate.

I remember seeing the ads in the shooting press when they were introduced - probably "Guns Review". There was a chap shooting hundreds of 2x2" wooden blocks consecutively when tossed in the air.

Don't you just hate him!

Spare a thought for the chippy that had to cut up over 100k wooden blocks..!!

Good bit of Nylon 66 info on Forgotten Weapons, including a strip down.

Love mine. Lightweight, accurate and very rapid rate of fire (if you’re that way inclined!). Straight forward to strip and clean. No oil needed due to plastic. Getting hard to find ones in decent condition (no cracking in the stock, block, etc.). Very collectible stateside these days. Often get dismissed because they are lightweight and plastic, but it is a 22 after all, so more than adequate for intended purpose imo. IIRC the green colour ones are hen’s teeth.
