Log# 6281 The Remington Nylon 66 semi-automatic rifle in .22 caliber, produced before 1964, is a pioneering firearm known for its innovative design and remarkable reliability. Introduced in 1959, the Nylon 66 was one of the first mass-produced rifles to feature a synthetic stock made from DuPont’s Zytel nylon, eliminating the need for traditional wood and reducing weight significantly. The pre-1964 models are particularly valued for their early production quality and original components. With a sleek, futuristic look and dependable blowback action, the Nylon 66 quickly earned a reputation for functioning flawlessly even in harsh conditions, requiring minimal maintenance. Its 14-round tubular magazine, smooth trigger pull, and lightweight frame made it a favorite among small game hunters, plinkers, and collectors. As one of Remington’s most successful rimfire rifles, the pre-64 Nylon 66 stands as a testament to mid-20th century American innovation in firearms design.
