1977 Remington Nylon 66A

[Mountain Boy]

I ended up with a CBC Brazil version of the Nylon 66 and in my research about it found http://www.nylonrifles.com/wp/. A bunch of random stuff but it gave me some info to repai mine and it is a fun little shooter. Light, fairly accurate and youcan actually find parts for them still. I would keep it just because you won't make a ton on it and it's a good novelty thing that makes people laugh every time I bust it out.

I have many fond memories of shooting a Nylon 66 that my dad owns when I was a kid. He got it from my cousin who worked for Remington in their ammunition lab in CT in the 70's. They are a lot of fun to shoot and are a real joy!

Just curious - if you sold it, would you split the money with the guy that gave it to you? Cool rifles, I'd keep it myself.

I am going to keep it ! After the comments here and other places, I think that it will stay with the family. Now if I could afford the time to go shoot it! Thanks again everyone!

Good choice keeping it. A nylon 66 was the first gun I shot as a kid and my father later gave it to me. Great gun to learn on and plink with. If you ever change your mind though let me know, ill give it a good home.

My best friend back home had one just like it, I imagine he probably still does. He loved it, but my single shot Remington 514 was more accurate.

The Nylon 66 was a novelty in it's day and it was a first rifle for many young shooters.

I still have mine. A Christmas present when I was 12. Still shoots pretty good.

Until 2 months ago, a Nylon 66 was the only gun I'd ever sold. Bought it used for about $75 and it had been fairly beat. The spring blade type of rear sight has a screw that can get stripped (internally, not the screw itself most of the time). If that happens you'll never make another accurate shot unless you get it smithed. Back when I had mine and decided to sell it, I didn't know Bert or any other smiths so I sold it.
