Picked this little guy up from cabelas today for $175. Still in pretty good condition cosmetically and hopefully I have time to fire it tomorrow. Figured I'd share this some you don't see them in store much. Honestly didn't know they existed before today.

sent from my Samsung Note 2

 

 

An "ahead of its time" design by Remington's Wayne Leek. Every kid wanted one of these when I was young. They were dead-nuts reliable too. I liked the brown Mohawk version, wasn't crazy about the Apache in black with the chrome barrel. That was too garish for me.

 

Good read on the Nylon 66: http://www.americanrifleman.org/ArticlePage.aspx?id=1796&cid=1

I've got a green one. Ive had it since I was 13. I'm 35 now. It was from Kmart.

 

They are worth more than you paid I think.

I was with a friend who said he paid 350ish for one a few weeks ago as a christmas gift to his dad. I looked on GB and they are going for almost double in some conditions. It was almost too good to pass up. Went there looking for a Ruger 10/22 and got a little piece of history

Ohh how I love my 66 nylon!!!

By far the best gun I own. It was my grandfathers, my dad still begs me to have it back

Make sure you modify the tube if it wasn't already.

I checked as soon as I got home. Only holds 14 rounds. I'm really glad it got this. I have an offer to trade it for a 10/22 but i guess i'll see how I feel about that later.

My nylon 66 has magazines.

Amazing article, Thanks for sharing some history on this. Really looking forward to trying it out.

 

 

My nylon 66 has magazines.

I read that only the kmart version had the magazines and not the others. Mine is fed through the buttstock.

Keep it!!

Buy a 10/22 in the future when they are available again. Just remember, you can buy a 10/22 at almost any gun shop.... Find one of these again

I'm hearing people saying my grandfather had one, my dad had one, I have one..... I have a boy coming my way in June so maybe I'll make this his first rifle or even my daughter if she gets into shooting.

Pass the legacy down!!

These guns are more than just an awesome, fun little rifle.

My 66 was my first gun, it will be my last gun. The iron sights are dead on, the gun is stupid reliable.... She'll eat anything you feed her.

It's the gun I will pass down to future generations.

The Nylon 66 is one of the best! Before coming back to Jersey a few years ago, I regular did the Scout firearms instruction and used the Nylon 66 as part of it. I have dozen Nylons that have literally had tens of thousands of rounds through them! They'll feed and fire everything reliably, but they're real fun plinking with CCI Mini-Mags! Enjoy!

Fire 50 rounds through it at the range today. It's a keeper for sure. I'll go with BleedingOrange and just buy a 10/22 when I get some more money and they are available

I knew you would love it. It's really a great little gun that keeps going and going. My girlfriend is dead accurate with it, therefore I always have a reason to make sure I have .22lr stockpiled.

 

 

 

Now I want to shoot mine.... Lol maybe next week sometime.

I've wanted one of these for a while now. Every time i see one its either $6-700 or beat to hell... But I'll keep searching...

REALLY!?!? I can see that for a Seneca Green today, but used Mohawks could be picked up at just about any gun shop for $100-125 in beautiful condition. DE Valley surcharge? Or is another instance where I can thank Gunbroker for increasing the value of firearms in my collection? Whoa.

What gun shops are you goin to?

Lol! Sorry, I meant when I was living out of NJ, with my last home being WVA. It's why I asked if this was a DE Valley surcharge on them (like crazy prices I see around here on shooter S&W 10s). Every single shop had used Mohawks, usually several. In fact, I bought 4 in one shot just a hair over 2.5 years ago before moving back in one shop for $390, package deal, for Scout classes. Definitely one of the best .22LRs ever made.

Do you still have them? If so, would you be willing to let one go?
