I tried to upload a picture from my phone but it didn't work. This morning I picked up a remington nylon 66 .22. And yes I stole it for $50 bucks!

It's because the owner couldn't find any ammo.

Lucky SOB!!!!!!!

Nice
my first 22 I think I paid 79??

And take look at your post count on that post!! 66 may be yer lucky number today!

I'm thinking about playing the lottery tomorrow. 66 being my powerball!

Do those nylons have seams?

Wasn't there at one time a movement among the real members to not allow anyone to post until they had a post count of at least 1,000 or something? (Yes, I know that - that was the point.)

Fun isn't it! I bet you couldn't get away from thee fast enough. Now, go buy a lottery ticket.

Then go to confession. ;-{>8

wanna double your money?

So you do have a naughty streak, ohhhh myyyyyy

The husband probably smarted off at his wife this morning. Payback can be tough.

those were pretty amazing guns. plastic and stamped parts. shoot the crap out of them and they just keep going and going. most were probably never cleaned. buddy of mine had the lever action nylon. those were rare and the only lever that remington every put into production

Several years ago I satisfied an almost fifty year desire and got a Nylon 66. I probably would have liked it better when I was a kid and had good eyes and no sense of what a trigger should be like, but it's still fun.

I can't remember the name of the place, but down around Gloversville NY there's a sporting goods shop and they have a small room off to the side of the gun dept. with the walls covered with (what I assume is) the owners collection of nylon Remingtons. My guess is there's one of every model in every color.

I remember as a kid the Nylon 66 being advertised in Fur, Fish and Game magazine as a boy's best friend on the trapline. I always wanted one of those.

A lot of guys love the 66 but my experience was terrible. The barrel is held in place by a shim. There's was no way that the shim would stay tight and the barrel kept moving. Since the rear sight was on the receiver, not the barrel, every time it moved, my POI moved 3 or 4" at 50 yds.

Yep. The Lord never lets me screw anybody out of anything.

I tried to scope one so I could knock jackrabbits off at longer range. Early 80's, I was about 14, could not hit squat with that stupid gun. I shot my Win 1906 better at 50 with open sights than I could that scoped Nylon 66 at 50. Later, after the internet came out, I read that scope mounting isn't recommended due to the receiver cover shifting, or something along those lines.

Do you know how hard it was to find 1", 3/8 groove scope rings back then? The whole thing was a big disappointment.

Ha,

You're probably the same bastid that bought a large dig kennel for $2 from my wife at our yard sake a few years ago. I went in the house to get a cup of coffee and when I came out this guy was literally running down the street to his truck!!

On another note, I still have my Model 77 (magazine fed) that my grandmother bought at the local Gamble's Store for my 14th birthday.

its called Lock,stock and barrel ,he has quite a personal collection ,he currently has one of the Remington nylon lever's for sale ,little under $1500.00 ,it's located in Palatine bridge NY

A Nylon just sold in the Classifieds for $150.00...

Deals are everywhere if you look.

I normally see them locally 175-250 pending condition

Big7mag: Good for you - that is a great deal (steal?) on that 66.
I am a big garage/estate saler myself.
Try to never miss'em.
Last weekend I got four knives at $5.00 per each - all were U.S.A. made, one was a Gerber folder, a fixed blade Buck R.M.E.F. commemorative and two Schrade 3 blade pocket knives.
But none of those compare to your Nylon 66 deal.
Again good for you and many happy returns of the day.
Hold into the wind

Buy 'em.

I got one that I would let go of if someone is interested. Ain't worth shipping and transfer fee's but if someone in Washington state wants one I could let it go.

By any chance west of the Cascades and north of Seattle? Condition/price?

I did get a like new black and chrome nylon rem 22 for $175 in a garage sale last year. Guy promised it worked. It didnt, until I pulled a 22 short hull out of the action.

I sold it for about $450 at a gun show.

probably true

Ironically Remington had a life time warrenty on the stock
Well they didnt concider me (IDIOTBOY)

I didnt know how to clean it so I would just spray gun scrubber in it by the can well one day I believe that the residue ignited and spit the rear of the stock

I sent it to Remigton It went in faux wood grain and came back Apache black

Im actually on the lookout for guns all the time. This month I've got a remington 700 sps 7mm with a prostaff 3-9x50. And a ruger m77 mkII 300 wsm with alone scope and quite a few shells for both. I bought them for $725 from a guy. And on a local gun site, I got a savage 210 12 gauge slug gun and a rem adl 700 30-06 for $500 together from a guy and then the nylon 66 for 50! It's been a good month! But my favorite find was probably my savage 10ml I got a couple years ago at the flea market. It was camo and stainless and had a nikon buckmaster. The guy had been selling Saturday and Sunday and I bought it Saturday for 300. I guess no one knew what it was!!
