I've had mine for 50 years. Still shoots well.

The 66 is the 1st gun purchased with my own money as a young teenager in 1960 or 61. I put countless thousands of rounds through it. During the 9 years I was away from the farm in college & service in the Peace Corps and US Army, my 4 brothers put a brick of ammo through it nearly every week. No malfunctions ever & works as well today as when new. Thanks for the review!

I have the chrome plated black Apache model, given to me by my girlfriend waaay back when I was a teenager in 1961.( That rifle was a helluva gift back then ) It is a great rifle, and like the other owners have said, I too, cannot ever remember having any failures with the Nylon 66. Today I still take it out for some target shooting once in a while. It will fire just about any .22 LR round you care to load it with. The styling was way ahead of it's time in my opinion.

Had this brown one as a kid. It was a great shoot. (Stolen in the 80s, Cops never found it, alas.) Today, it's a 39A. Great review, Ty. Brings back loads of great memories.

Nice addition to an already nice collection of 22 rifles. My parents gave me the identical rifle when I was 13 years old. (1969). Every time I get it out to shoot it I know my dad is smiling. I can not ever remember any type of jam or mal function. Nice video. Glad you were able to pick one up.

I seem to remember a ad for the 66. One of the Remington sharp shooters hit a boatload of wooden blocks all in one setting. Set some sort of record

In the 80's I bought the inventory of a long defunct Gun store in a small town in Northern California. The only gun I kept was a Beautiful Black Remington Nylon ''77'', the Magazine version of the Nylon ''66''. It was a great small game rifle and scoped it was unbeatable for a .22 cal. It was my 1st choice over my Ruger 10-22's for hunting. Magazine changes were much quicker than my 10-22's with that difficult [For me] mag release.

Another gun I wish I had a time machine to go back and buy. They were common and affordable back in the 80s. But were so light we didn't take it seriously. Because it was PLASKICK as one of my relatives called it! lol

I have had mine since I was in Boy Scouts. (Late fifties, early sixties.) Still shoots like a champ. Better than my eyes see.

Great little Rifles I have the Mohawk Brown and the Apache Black Great shooter’s Stay Safe Stay 2A Strong 🇺🇸

It's easy to make speed loading tubes for tube fed rifles. Make them less than a full load so they can be pocket size. A .22 lr is about 1 inch long and a 6 shot tube with caps would make a speed loader no more than 7 inches long. Easy to carry 3 or 4 of these in a shirt pocket. Just a suggestion.

I used to have one of these years ago and wish I still did. This rifle with its rear tube feed would absolutely not jam. The ads for the nylon series of firearms was a vehicle running over it and still being unbroken. I could never get mine to be accurate with a scope. It seemed the scope would always move after sight in. It was probably my scope and not the firearm. The front blade sight was the same as the Remington model 600 of the same time period.

Got mine as a kid...1959! All of my grandkids (6), have a 66 or 77. The one you display looks to be 99%. Best ad back in the day, 2000 thrown wood blocks w/o a jam. Orange front site did not exist back in the day. 4 lbs any day. Ya know, the initial marketing was for trappers... Nice post....and yes, deadly accurate!!!!! Top tang safety can't be beat! Make contact if you want to sell!

Nice find love it!

I have one. Sold the first one back in the 60's when I was young and dumb. Not much has changed except my age. But I did acquire another out of an estate sale. This one I'm keeping.

One of my all time Favorite fun Firearms!!!! Just keep it with the open sights! Putting a scope on any Nylon 66 is futile... the barrel and receiver are not attached solid !!! So Pont of impact is never reliable with that configuration. However many squirrels have succumbed to that rifle with open sights 👍👍👍👍👍 Great content

I bought one in brown in 1972. traded it away. I regretted it. years later I bought one in all black. still a great shooter.

I have the Bicentennial model. It's awesome. Fun fact : The Nylon 66 is Jerry Miculek's favorite .22 rifle.

Still have mine from when i was a kid.

Nylon 66 was my second rifle, third gun, 1958. Many thousands of rounds through it, it has never had a malfunction of any kind...

I own three of these, in much better condition than the example featured in this production. I am 79 years old this summer and take pride in my firearms collection. God bless.

i have 2 nylon 66,apache 10c,mohawk 77 an one nylon 66 that i got at age 12 in 1982 an it must have millions of rounds put throuh it an still going strong!! my favorite activity as kid was a gravel pit an a brick of 22's!!

My 513T even after tens of thousands of LR run through it still was accurate enough for head shots on woodchucks the hefty weight made it easier to steady.

A trip down memory lane. Do love some nostalgia

The 77 is about the same but magazine fed.

I fell in love with the Nylon 66 in the early 80s, took close to 40 years to finally get Mohawk 10c. A LGS had it for 8 months, I got it for a great price. I will get a 66 some day, I love my Marlin 22lr, I can get them cheaper..lol

I wish they would make them again. Super light, handy and tough.

My wife bought me the Nylon 66 back in 1968 when we just got married.I still have it and will never sell it.Still looks brand new.

I have a 1960 brown one we bought for my daughter. Lucked out and only paid 150.00, and it is in great condition. Interesting design that chews through the dirty .22s without a jam!

I believe Steven’s did a single shot 12 ga synthetic bout that time too

Bought one for $10 when I was in college late 1960's. I have fired thousands of rounds through the gun and have never had a jam. Best money I have ever spent.

Nice collection of 22's, the 22lr is some of my favorites

Dam fine rifle! I have my dad's in brown. Everytime I take it out I know he's looking down at me smiling.

Some versions of this hade a magnesium trigger guard which I made the die cast mold for the company I worked about 1969-1970!

I have a Black and Chrome model. My Dad gave it to me as a kid. Good gun, love mine for both practical and sentimental reasons.

Had one just like this one , bought it for $65 . Sold it for $65 3yrs later , wish I kept it.

Love these rifles. I have two of them in my collection a Mohawk Brown model 11 bolt action and an Seneca Green Model 77 semiautomatic with a box magazine. Always have my eye out for others.

Apache 77 in green sold at k marts in the 90s may have been the last one. Magazine fed. Great video.

I have an old one laying around . It is not new by any means and used quite a bit and still shoots great

Was raised on shooting the 66 never knew they were special till I was in my 20s I’ve inherited 3 of them one of them is even a lever action I haven’t seen many of those

The mag fed Nylon 77 version of this was my first firearm purchased used in CO for $75 in 1980, my go to woodchuck control, always by my living room window :)

And, before the Glock there was the Rem XP100. Nylon 66s are great guns. Very accurate and reliable. I shot running bunnies all day long with them. Rarely missed.

I remember those Tom Frye ads for these Remington Nylon 66 in all the outdoors magazines in the 60's. I think it was some record he set using a pair of Nylon 66 rifles shooting 100,000 wood blocks. would have sucked being the guy loading for him lol.

got my first one in 1963. love it. thousands of rounds thru it. bought another in 1986.

My grandfather had one! I loved shooting it but it wasnt one of the guns he left me.... it was a tack driver!!!

One of the best shooting 22s I’ve have

I wanted one back in the 70's, but they were out of my price range back then, an the only one O've found for sale was 700 bucks, yep still out of my price range, lol

At the time I got mine the advertisement was of the rifle laying in a mud puddle and pickup tire running over the rifle without breaking the stock.

Nice review Mr.David!

I bought a 66 brand new when I was a teen. I will say it would not jam, I tried many ways to jam it and don't believe it could be done. The problem I had was, the barrel was not attached to the receiver, it was held against the receiver clamp and a screw thru the bottom side of the stock. You could sight it in and lead it against a wall and it would be 4" off target the next day. Direct sun light would change it also. I kept it a few years a gave it away. At the time I thought it to be a pc of junk.

Childhood friend had one exactly like that.....many a squirrel met their demise due the Nylon 66. It was a great shooter

Ooh, yours is in much better condition than mine. It shoots and functions fine but i'm missing some blueing and the is a bit of rust pitting here and there. You got a really good example there!

Great report! Short and to the point...thanks. Bert

Looks like fun, reminds me of when I got my first 22.

One of the most enjoyable rifles to shoot very accurate light weight and reliable

I have the one I bought in 1969 from money I made working in the tobacco patch that summer!

The 66 was/is the very 1st firearm I never shot. Thanks grandpa!

I still have my apache 77 that my dad gave me as a first gun. Great shooter, hard to find mags for it though.

Apache was the bright top of the line. Mohawk 2nd. Great pieces. They offered the 660 rifle as well. Loading thru the stock was common. Original Rem SA was a stock loader as is the Browning 22.

I had one of the fancier versions.. a 99!

I still have mine. It's great.

Clássica CBC Nylon 22LR, sucesso no Brasil, deveria estar no auge hoje em dia com à inovação da vibra de vidro na fabricação de coronha...

I had one of them years ago ,sweet little gun

I bought one in the 80s. The trigger has a lot of creep, but the barrel is really good. If you can master the trigger it shoots quite accurately and is very reliable. I put a rear peap sight on mine.

Thanks!

Ive been collecting these since i was a kid the only 1 i dont have is the smooth bore. Ive seen the price of these go out roof i wish someone would do a book on these i would buy it for sure thanks for the video great guns

RemArms, you know what you must do!

Still have my '66 after 50 years. For hunting small game it can't be beat, but long range or off the bench my go to is a Mossberg US144 with the nice heavy barrel. Easily pop pesky ground varmints at 100 yards.

If these we’re made today they would sell lights out. Why great kids gun and very light weight. I have a 77 Remington in like new condition should sell it as I never use it. But I could never replace it. What to do ? I use my 39A and No it’s not heavy !

Gorgeous.

I had that rifle...loved it.

Beautiful

I have the Nylon 77. It's my 2nd best shooting 22. My best shooting 22 is a Remington Model 241. Both outperform my 10/22. But, not by much.

I have a Remington 511 Score Master that’s very similar to your 513. My dad bought it in 1956, 6 months before I was born and I was lucky enough to inherit it; never got shot much until I got it. It’s my favorite and most accurate.22; has an excellent trigger.

I have a black one that was given to me not sure what year it was made

I wanted one in high school. I ended up with a Win model 62 pump.

If the new Remington Company would bring back this rifle I bet they would sell a lot of them. I had one years ago and abused it until it just tore up. No telling how many thousands of 22s I shot out of it.

A lot like the "Plinkster" but better.

I'd bought one new, the brown one like in the picture.. I traded it off for a Ruger 10-22. While I still have the Ruger, which also shoots well, I do regret trading it in. So wish I still had it.

I had a black one when I was a kid. It was called a "Black Diamond"

Seneca Green. I have the Apache Black with chrome barrel, reciever. Btw....the Seneca Green models are the most rare.

Would be nice to add one to my collection! But I have never seen one at a Pawn Shop. I have 2 Marlin Model 60s that I love... And I have a tube loader which resolves the time period of loading...You might try it!

Of course a tube fed rimfire long gun is The same as a polymer box magazine fed handgun

Is this a possible hint/foreshadowing of a new version or re release of the Nylon 66 from Remarms?

Grew up shooting my grandpa's Nylon 66 and don't ever remember it jamming. It got dropped on a cold day and the stock shattered. I have it now but cannot find a replacement stock. Would love to bring it back to life.

I see why all the ones i find seem to be shot out and in need of a barrel but i cant seem to find any barrels in Canada any help is greatly appreciated thanks😊

Nice find. I would buy one if I saw it available. Your collection needs a Ruger 10/22. I have a stainless takedown model that never hiccups. Crazy amount of aftermarket things for the 10/22. I would still collect a Nylon 66 though!

I had one as a kid. Thousands of rounds burned through it. Great rifle, instinctive pointer. One of my favorites until it was stolen. Much preferred over my 10-22.

Mine was made in November 1963.

it is seneca green very much looks brown, you have to look at it with very bright light to see the green.

Cool,cool,gun

Are this available for finding by any chance?

The best ever is a Remington 550-1... hands down.

My 66 was the worst shooting twenty-two I ever owned. I tried every brand of ammo I could find and 5 or 6-inch groups at 25 yards were the best it would do. It never jammed though.

I load 15 bullets into a 1/4-inch piece of pvc. When I want to reload this rifle, I simply pull the brass plug out of the pvc and tip it into the tube of the butt plate. Done is seconds. One thing I don't like about the rifle is that it is not a very stable platform for a scope and it does not hold zero well.

How do you know it's a 65? When serial #'s started in 67? I own one with no serial #, and would love to know what year it is.

So growning up my friend had Remington Nylon 66...alway spit bullets out....dependable to shot7....But with warmer weather like the gun was in a truck on the gun rack in direction sun light the stock would become pliable....pick up to shot and stock would bend....would lose accurately in warmer weather easily...not a good 22 cal....better if it would have been in a wood stock or newer type composite stock....Shoe

Mossberg 151M-B, wish I had never sold it.

I have the 77 and it is missing its magazine. Does anyone know we're you can get parts. Thank you.

Best shooting 22 for me is a ruger mark 1
