I saw the first video on the Remington Nylon 66 before this one posted. I commented on one I once had. I was off on the wood block record but will always remember the picture of the pile of wood blocks. It was interesting you mention the lever gun because that is one I never knew about or ever saw. I never consider them as a hunting rimfire but more a tin can bouncer. I sold mine when I was going to the Pennsylvania Gunsmith School in Pittsburg Avalon in the early eighties. I used the money for project materials, they sold for $69 dollars when I bought mine and cheaper other places. It boggles my mind seeing them selling for $2,000 dollars now.😳😆😂

Thanks for the video! I still have a Mohawk Brown Nylon 66 that I found new in the box in a store in Juneau Alaska in 1992! I knew it had been out of production for several years by that time, so I was surprised to see a new one in the rack in a retail store! (It was a drug store that also sold guns.) At that time I also had an old Mohawk Brown Nylon 66 I had bought used when I lived in Idaho for $25.00. It had light rust on all the metal parts I could see, but when I removed the action cover and took the barrel out of the stock I discovered the rest of the metal parts and the underside of the action cover were rust free. I dumped a full 1/4 cup of powder residue and small shavings of bullet lube out of the stock, cleaned up what I could (the inside of the barrel was perfect) took the rust off the action cover and the end of the barrel that stuck out of the stock using coarse bronze wool and oil, reassembled the rifle, and shot it for several years until I bought the new one in Alaska. It worked perfectly and was surprisingly accurate using the iron sights. After I purchased the new Nylon 66 I gave the used Nylon 66 and two 500 round cartons of .22 lr ammunition to the winter caretaker of a Forest Service field camp in Alaska so he could entertain himself over the winter. It worked fine for him for awhile. He kept it outside of his cabin in a place where it couldn't be rained or snowed upon so the rifle wouldn't "sweat" when he took it from the cold outside to the warm inside of the cabin. It suffered a catastrophic death during a below zero cold snap when he slipped on some ice while carrying the rifle. He had only one arm, so he had the rifle in his hand. When he slipped he put his hand down to catch himself with the rifle still in it. The rifle hit something hard and the entire so-called nylon of the rifle exploded into a thousand pieces! He landed so hard on the rifle that the barrel too was bent! The rifle, except for the barrel, was swept up and thrown away. The bent barrel was used for a year or two to whack halibut in the head, until it was accidentally lost overboard in about 20 fathoms of water. So goes the life of two Nylon 66 rifles!

My first rifle bought for me by my grandmother. After many thousands of rounds through it I never experienced a malfunction of any kind. I sure wish I still had it.

When I grew up, in the 1960s, a lot of the kids who trapped carried the Nylon 66 when working their trap line. The guys I knew said they liked the Nylon 66 because it seemed pretty impervious to the weather. I remember the magazine advertisements for the Nylon 66 often showed rain drops running off the stock. I guess the advertising really worked! I'd like to see an information video on the Remington Model 552 Speedmaster.
