Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1959, the Remington Nylon 66 revolutionized rifle manufacturing as the first mass-produced firearm to utilize a structural synthetic stock. Molded from DuPont Zytel 63 nylon, the receiver and stock functioned without conventional liquid lubricants, creating a virtually indestructible, self-lubricating rimfire action that operated reliably in extreme temperatures. Among the various color schemes produced during its 30-year run, the "Apache Black" variant—featuring striking bright chrome hardware offset against a jet-black stock with white diamond inlays—stands out as the most stylish and highly sought-after collectible model.
This exact rifle, serial number 415516, was manufactured in Ilion, New York in December 1968. Chambered in .22 LR with a 14-round tubular magazine loaded through the buttplate, it features a 19.6-inch bright chrome barrel, chrome receiver cover, white-accented black Zytel stock, top-tang safety, and factory iron sights. It comes fitted with a period-correct Weaver D6 USA 7/8" rimfire scope mounted on the grooved receiver cover. Exhibiting remarkable condition throughout with brilliant chrome plating, lustrous black stock finish, a mirror-bright bore, and smooth cycling action, this complete 1968 Remington Nylon 66 Apache Black is an elite addition for rimfire collectors and C&R enthusiasts alike.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
