1959 (first year production) Remington Nylon 66 .22

I picked this one up today. It had been mouldering in the gun shop on consignment for near three years at a collector's price and it had a lot of interest but no takers.....I ended-up with it for $300.00.

Made in December of 1959 so no serial number. It has a few slight dings but nothing unusual for a well kept 65 year old .22.

I used my last Weaver D4 4.2X scope on it. I've always found that they hold zero better than other scopes on the Nylon 66.

I have one Nylon-66 with a D4 I used as a early teen and it still is zeroed......All I've done is adjust it for my eyes a few times over the years.

Sadly it looks like collector interest has fell-off over the past couple years except for the rare examples and you can snag one in Mohawk Brown from the auction sites for under $400 after everything is said and done.

I'm sure you old timers remember this.

Damn, my best friend in high school days had on of these. It was the model with the black nylon stock, but I'll never forget that white diamond in the fore grip. It was an automatic, unlike my JC Higgins single shot .22.
Always wanted one of those.
It had a long tube that held the cartridges if I remember correctly. Don't remember how many it held.

Those are pretty cool ( Having a first year is extra cool )

One of my grail Guns is a 1949 Pre Production Example low serial# of a Ruger Standard ( Mk 1 )

It hold 14 .22 LR in the tube and one in the chamber 14+1.
