I remember watching the nylon66 commercial Saturday mornings during cartoons. Anyone here remember the boy drop it off a hill then pick it up and keep shooting playing Army?

Also, the stocks are guaranteed for life. It was the first synthetic stock I think.

I bought a new Nylon 66 in 1979. The first time out with it I fell on some rocky terrain and cracked the stock. The weather was below zero f that day, which may have had something to do with it breaking like that. Anyways, I sent it into Remington, and they replaced it with the rifle that I have have to this day. It still shoots and cycles as well as new after thousands of rounds through it.

My father in law had one shatter when it slipped out of his hands while un casing it... Remington replaced it.

Question - I have a chance to buy one and I know parts are drying up for them. Whats the typical failure for these nylons?


Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

You're probably using way too good of a scope. The old timer I coon hunted with had one of those $15.95 tascos on his. He kept it in his truck box and never unloaded it and never cleaned it, dropped tools on it, and never missed with it. lol
