*SOLD* 1973 Remington Nylon 66 .22 LR 19 5/8" *CLASSIC "MOHAWK BROWN" NYLON STOCK*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Remington Nylon 66 was manufactured from 1959-1989. It was the first mass-produced rifle to feature a stock made from a material other than wood. For this reason, it was a huge gamble for Remington. The largely synthetic construction meant that the Nylon 66 could operate without any added lubricants and lead to great reliability in all climates. Some have speculated that the lightweight of the gun could potentially cause substandard accuracy in the field, but this does not seem to be a complaint from Nylon 66 shooters. This is a Remington Nylon 66 that was produced in 1978 and it has aged very well with little to no sign of use. One thing is for sure – this is one of the lightest rifles you will ever find. This will make anyone a great plinker, and is perfect for taking along on those long trips out into the field when you don’t want to carry a 12 pound varmint rifle. This is a great opportunity to pick up a really nice vintage plinking rifle! The standard stock color was a "Mohawk Brown," a walnut brown with black streaks that vaguely resembled wood grain. The Nylon 66 MB model, by far the most popular of any of the Remington Nylon rifles had over 721,000 sold in .22 LR.
