Remington Nylon 66 - Mohawk Brown or Seneca Green?

[smoothshooter]

It must have been around 1973 that I started to buy a 66 but bouts a new Ruger 10/22 from KMart for $69 if my memory hasn't failed me. It was a tough decision but had a Ruger a standard mkI and thought the 10/22 would be a good companion. To this day I still have my 10/22 but have always thought I'd like to find a nice 66 and buy it if not too expensive. They are very cool rifles.

The few times I see a Nylon 66 for sale around here in SW Missouri they are usually priced at $250 or more.

Hey John . This is tcass . My uncle passed away two months ago . I just received his guns . One of them was a nylon 66 . It's in very nice shape . It's a single shot bolt action . On the barrel it reads 22 short long and long rifle . Not sure what it's worth . I looked at your two pages of info . I'm not sure which one this falls under . Lol scarce find or extremely rare . Can you help me out with this one please . Thank you

That would be the Nylon 10 single shot bolt action, N10.

Not really rare, but not many left today. Hard to find, A keeper.

Agreed, I've seen only one Nylon 10 in my time and I brought it home. It won't be going anywhere for a while either.

Wonderful guns. I have had several over the years but only the Apache and the Mohawk Brown. I currently own a MB example. I've had several apart to fix for others as well. A total strip is not for the faint of heart. Really fun to shoot as you all know.

In my youth my desire for a Nylon 66 was similar to the Red Ryder in A Christmas Story. For 4-5 Christmases it was my dream present. I was 10 or 11 and Dad got me a Model 94 30-30, he said he got that because I would just play with a .22. It was a couple years later I bought one myself at the local hardware store, Dad signed for it. Now, some 50 years later I own about a dozen nylon .22's in the various forms. I've got 66's in brown, black/chrome, green a well as box magazine, tube fed versions and bolt guns. I got one of the short lived lever action 76's several years ago. In summary, I'm a fan.
