    This is the best firearms video I’ve EVER seen on UA-cam. Seeing you interacting with and teaching your grandson is, to me anyway, what it’s REALLY ALL ABOUT! Reminds me of the time my niece called me and said “so you remember how your .22 at mom’s house? Now I need you to come teach me how to clean a rabbit.”

    I had a nylon 66 semiautomatic I shot my first squirrel with at 9 years old (60 now), with my grandfather (head shot in the top of a pin-oak) and just recently gave it to my son.
    It's still in almost perfect condition and is still a tack driver.
    I always wanted the lever action version but never found one for sale.

    I have had a nylon 66 and a nylon 76 for many years. I thought they had metal triggers so I went and looked. Sure enough, both are nylon triggers! Even the lever is nylon. I never noticed before. The lever action always sat where it was easy to get and has shot many skunks and racoons when they cause trouble in the barn or the hay stack. The nylon 66 has a scope is more for plinking. As kids our Dad started us out with a break open, external hammer, single shot .410 shotgun which we liked a lot. It was marked F.I.E. and was made in Brazil. Cheap but solid.

    Good video. My grandfather taught me to shoot a .22 when I was about 6. He was a fantastic shot and taught me well. It paid off big time in the Army 50+ years ago. You may be saving your grandson's life. I remember that my Boy Scout Camp had the Remington Nylon 10s on its range. We used shorts for target shooting and shot shells for trap. Good Luck, Rick

    Mossberg model 151 1948-1954 my father passed a 1952 down to me when I was 11 years old in1960. It is a tack driver loads through the stock .22 long rifle only, semi auto, would hold 15 rounds in the stock. Gave it to my sun a couple of yeas ago. It would shoot the cheep ammo, and never miss fire. and just about all ammo shot great groups. Found some old .22 LR. 100 pack 1.79 those were the days. Just on screw the back and the bolt came right out for easy cleaning. If you ever see one grab it, you will not be disappointed.

    Excellent video and information!👍
    Funny thing is that in '71, I left the Rangers and returned home. I went to work at a large, old family owned hardware and furniture store in the little town. They had a firearms section, and we sold a few now and then. I remember seeing there were always a Nylon 66 in the rack. It wasn't expensive, and since I worked there, I had a decent discount. But I didn't want a plastic rifle, as I carried an M14 and didn't want to use the M16. Reckon now I should've bought one or two. Oh well...😏

  • @dougmac9955
    @dougmac9955 Рік тому +4

    I feel I am very fortunate to have 2 of these Remington Nylon 22s. A green Nylon 77 box fed semiautomatic and a brown Nylon 11. As others have stated I love these old 22s that were new when I was in high school almost 60 years ago. Besides these 2 Remingtons I just recently aquired my first 10/22 and I have a gunthat is fairly rare a British Enfield Nolll converted by the British government from a 10 shot 303 to a single shot 22LR trainer. Without picking it up and examining it, you would believe it was a Nolll Mk1 303 battle rifle. I am constantly looking for my next old 22. I gave my father's old Winchester single shot to my first granddaughter and my grandfather's Winchester 5 shot bolt action to her father. I'm afraid the model numbers escape me at the moment but I know they were manufactured before WWll and are in the 60 series of 22 rifles. I gave granddaughter #2 a lefty a left hand Savage 22 and for granddaughter #3 I have an Ithaca lever action single shot that looks like a repeater but actually has a Martini type action I believe it is a model49.

    I have both the Nylon 11 & 12 . My dad bought me the nylon 11 at an auction when I was around 10 and was my first real gun . He paid a whopping $35.00 and I still have at 60 yrs old . I inherited my dads old JC Higgins model 20 12 gauge shotgun with the selector on the side which you don’t see often . My brothers got the model 12 Winchester and his Browning Citori Ultra XT trap gun . Luck if the draw as he acquired all of those after we had drawn for what he had over thirty years ago to prevent any fighting over them which we wouldn’t have but such things can destroy families so for that I’m glad .

    I had a Remington Nylon 66 in Apache Black. Traded a Model 552 for it. I used it for woodchuck hunting. I had it sighted with a Weaver 6X 22 scope at 75 yards dead on. All of a sudden I started missing and I found the sights were off. What I found was that when I took the receiver cover off to clean the gun and put it back on, there was play on the receiver bolts. I couldn't trade that gun fast enough for a 10-22. The 66 was so lightweight that the slightest breeze would throw your shot off when shooting offhand. My father had a 66 in olive drab and he soon traded his for a 10-22 as well. I was always a Remington guy but IMHO, the Nylon 66 was junk. One of the best 22s I had was a Hawthorne (Montgomery Ward) bolt action repeater which was extremely accurate. I believe it was made by Mossberg. Unfortunately it was stolen.

    The Nylon 66 has the same scope mounting flaw as the Henry rimfire lever and pump rifle . They both have a metal sheath or cover over the receiver with the 3/8 tip groove for scope mounting. That is not a stable platform . You always have to adjust the scope to keep it sighted in. The Nylon 66 is very reliable and can take much abuse. The action is sluggish. You can outrun it with a fast trigger finger.

      The bolt mechanism only releases when the trigger is let go. Holding the trigger keeps the bolt in the rearward position. That's why they were called "click-clack" .22's.

    But you don't say this is a 22 gun they're 22 rifles. A shot gun or a pellet gun I like your videos you and me are about the same age

    *The Framing on this Video is absolutely horrendous, and after watching almost 30 minutes of it, I still have no idea why any of these Rifles were "Ahead of their time"....Those plastic stocked Remingtons were junk from day one. They were NOT the "envy of the firearm industry". In fact, they were a desperate attempt at keeping Remington profitable, and this is JMO, they signaled the beginning of the long slow death spiral that would culminate with end of Remington Arms.*

      Don't know what you mean by the "Framing" being horrendous. In regards to these rifles being ahead of their time, I was referring to the materials these rifles were made of. As far as you making the statement of those plastic stocked Remington's being junk.....that is purely your opinion, and there are many thousands of folks out there that would staunchly disagree with you. One thing I have to wonder though. If you didn't like the video, why did you watch it?
