I have a Remington .22 rifle, and it has Remington Nylon 66 printed on the bottom of the stock. I have called and wrote Remington Arms for info on the gun, but to no avail. Can anybody give me any info on this gun. Is 66 the year it was made? How many were made, etc... Anything would be appreciated.

If you google search for "Remington nylon 66" a couple of links come up at wikianswers.com. A guy named John shows how to date the rifle and someone else goes over a bit on value. Searching on gunbroker.com will also give an idea of value (sometimes inflated).

You can even look back on this blog as several months ago, probably before Christmas, we had an in depth discussion on this particular rifle. Yes I wish I still had my brown one and my black one but in a weak moment let them go years ago. A strong case of guntrader's anxiety just hit me.

Here's a little article on the Remington Nylon 66 and the material it was made from, DuPont Zytel Nylon 101, a structural version of Nylon 66 (or as we sometimes wrote it 6/6 or 6-6) ...

There's a few more references if you want to search for them. Make your own conclusions about where the name came from.

The Nylon 66 was introduced in 1959 and remained in production for 28 years. The Zytel stock was innovative, a departure from other autoloaders of the day. My brother bought one shortly after it appeared on the market, and it performed very reliably with .22LR ammunition. There were two variations I'd seen on the market: one in brown, another in black. I'm told there was a third (green) which I'd never seen, but I was admittedly busy and somewhat out of touch in the '60s. I've never disassembled this model, so I don't know anything about it internally. The Nylon 66 had a tubular magazine and fed from the buttstock. The Nylon 66 sold well, and they can still be found on the used market for approximately $150-175 or so, more if in excellent condition.

I have one with a 60 stamped on the bottom. Mine belonged to my grandfather. I was told he bought it in the late 60's, early 70's. I have been told that they are becoming a collector's item. I have no idea of the value though. Just for curiosity's sake I would like to know.
