Oh wow! This was my first gun! kind of surreal to see it again nowadays. This is the exact model of my grandpas Nylon 66, he had a scope too. My uncle bought his own sometime in the 1970s, I believe his model was black and had a magazine. Love this gun!
Back in the 1980s when I was a kid there was a sporting equipment store in our town, which among other things had that rifle in their stock.

That reminds me of "baby", my family's Belgium made Browning SA22. Been in my family since grandpa bought her in the 50s or 60s and she still shoots like out of the box. Id love to see one in a video if you have one trilobite.
I grew up in Edinburg, Tx. I got my driver's license and a Remington mod.66 for Christmas when I was 14. There was a irrigation drainage canal about five miles north of the city limits and at least once a week I would go and burn a couple hundred rounds. I still own one and considerate to be the best .22 simi auto rim fire ever made.
Pretty cool. I'm 68 now and I still have my Remington model 7 (just like yours only bolt action). Got it when I was 12. Still very accurate. Actually quite a bit better than my Ruger 10-22.
Damn I'm shocked this showed up in my feed. When I was a little kid, this is the first gun I ever shot. My dad ended up selling it for more than he bought it for.
Neat little rifle. If it misfires/jams, might get a little awkward clearing it with all the cartridges lined up in the stock, but very nice nonetheless.
What's worse I'd say is that there's no bolt hold open or really anything to positively tell you when the tube is empty, so it's really easy to accidentally dry fire if you're not counting your shots closely.
@@steveharvold alot of 22s without bolt hold opens have fireing pin stops that prevent that, even realllly early ones. for example the first gen colt woodsman
@@therideneverends1697 Google would suggest that the Nylon 66 does indeed have a firing pin stop. That's a bit of a relief, though I don't think I'll ever not cringe hearing the thing click when I pull the trigger.
My first gun right here when I was about 12, I have the apache black one. mine is also beat to shit, as I did many innawoods with my dad to get some squirrel. still shoots straight and I can hit at about 50 yards. 30k+ rounds through it while I owned it, was old as hell when I got it
I don’t have one, but it is on the list. I wish they weren’t so expensive, but I guess that’s just something you have to deal with for anything used by Germany
@@thomaslikescarsI would borrow from people that I know well outside of UA-cam. Logistics of getting things shipped back and forth is usually too big of a headache, though

MIne had a problem if you fully loaded it then put the spring rod in it then tried to pull the bolt to charge it. It tried to get two rounds in the chamber at the same time. It didn't like some ammo and would tell me about it with a jam!
Wait it loads through the stock like a spencer carbine!? This is a smokeless powder .22lr loading like a spencer carbine we are talking here. It even has a mossberg safety Damn that is interesting.
These were considered a junk/throwaway gun when they came out. Now they’re antiques and hard to find parts for since they break so often. The stocks are very brittle and nylon decays with age.
Who the hell said: "know what? I'am gonnaake a gun that in order to load it, you'll have to put out a very large stick out of the stock... Yeah, that is what i'am going to do"
Never shot one, but held one once. It felt like a Daisy Powerline 880, cheap, and almost toy like. Knowing the history and function tells me otherwise.
I remember seeing a guy get shot in the face with .22lr, he tried to hold his face ai assume where he was shot, still half alive before the next round made him go limp. Brutal shit.

Bakelite was in use on firearms , somewhat earlier. Particularly in Germany.

I love how half of this video is just him loading the damn thing.
It would be great as a mod in New Vegas or something.
I have a nylon 77 and its very light, low recoil, and surprisingly shootable. I feel more accurate with it than my various other .22 rifles.
That’s a nice example of one it even has the sticker still

I love my 66. It was dropped at some point (not me) and broken in a few places but all it needed was a new bolt handle.

Inherited 2 of these from my late grandfather
First auto loading rifle I ever shot
He taught me well
Miss you, gramps
Pretty cool. I'm 68 now and I still have my Remington model 7 (just like yours only bolt action). Got it when I was 12. Still very accurate. Actually quite a bit better than my Ruger 10-22.
That thing is in mint condition! Very lovely
Damn I'm shocked this showed up in my feed. When I was a little kid, this is the first gun I ever shot. My dad ended up selling it for more than he bought it for.
Here in Brazil, CBC (Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos, Brazilian Cartridge Company) produced this weapon under license in the past
Got mine about 35yrs ago,and still love it.
This is the first semi-auto .22 i shot as a kid up in North Nevada, i thought the loading procedure was sweet and now I am trying to find one.
My Dad got me one when I turned 15 in 1977. Killed a ton of critters on the farm with that awesome rifle. Lot's a dead woodchucks. Had a blast.
I have one of these. It’s a black stock with a scope, very very nice carbine and absolutely able to hunt game, and man.
My grandfather has one from the early 80s ands only had to clean it once and that was about 2 months ago a very reliable firearm.
I wish they would reintroduce this one...looks very cool top shoot!
Thank you tenacious
I really miss that little rifle. It was fun to shoot. I sold mine and regretted it ever since.
my grandpa owns one of these and I've had the pleasure of shooting it it's a nice rifle
Nothing makes a man more excited than a good pair of nylons
i can smell this video
My great grandma’s gun. She could to over the shoulder trick shots while aiming with a mirror way back when
I have one my wife gave me in 1977 for our first wedding anniversary. Still shots today.
That one is sure still in nice shape ..brasso polishes those stocks when they oxidize and change color

Interesting feed method
Never seen a gun that loads like that before. If I saw it elsewhere I would have guessed it was a BB gun
Some real early repeaters like the Spencer also loaded through the stock.
love it!

It's really aggravating to wonder why this and other good .22's have been discontinued.
first time seeing a rifle being loaded at the stock
My childhood rifle!
A favorite for sure. Brings back memories.

It looks like a Crosman 2100!
Perfect for home defense

Now i see where the crosman 760 pumpmaster takes inspiration from
One got a choice of Mohawk Brown or Apache Black. I got a Black Beauty from FIE. It is very much like the Nylon 66.

Is that one of them there 66 nylon mag riffles¿ Back in my day we used 69.4 out of a 20 puusheelicher to really show them Jerrys a thing or few
All it needs is a tiny little Blakeslee tube and then it’s all set.
There aren’t nearly enough full length hand guards in modern firearms

How to flirt with a gun enthusiast: tell them you want to load them like a Remington Nylon 66, and see if they catch on.
Such a Remington way to design a gun, a weird removable internal mag that twists off from the butt plate...
best
No mags to purchase? Okay, bring this back, I want one.
My dad owned this gun. It was the first one i ever shot.
Quick question: am I correct in assuming the Nylon 66's Tubular Magazine works off a similar principle to the Spencer's Stock-embedded Tube Magazine?
Yeah, pretty much

But does it bend?
What happens if you put one in backwards?
What happens if you put in a short type?
It misfeeds and you have to unload/clear it.
It doesn’t cycle.

14+1
How do you think the birds in the birdhouse like you shooting. They are going to have nervous ticks when the leave the nest.

is having your right thumb like that any better than wrapping it around?
More comfortable, less likely to torque your wrist when pulling the trigger

damn what attachments? Seems to have zero recoil

Was nylon really more expensive than hardwood in the 60s or is the sticker just marketing nonsense?
As far as I know, this was one of the first commercial applications of Nylon 66. It was a very new material at the time

Why are the bullets in the stock..?
Because that’s where the magazine is
