Had a nylon 66 apache black loaded in the butt stock. Made quick load mags out of 1/4" copper tubing . What a great firearm to shot .But lost it in the Tornado May 31 1985 that came through Pa and Ohio. Somebody got them self a great and fun gun
I own a Remington Nylon Bolt action that I bought from a co-worker over 30 years ago. It is still in good condition. I am astonished with it's accuracy with inexpensive lead slug Winchester Wildcat 22 LR ammo. I replaced the 22 scope with a fixed 4X high power rifle scope. Under calm conditions it will print under 1 moa at 100 yards all day. I routinely make killing shots on groundhogs out to about 150 yards. My most memorable shot was when I walked out of the wooded trail to our local shooting range and observed a groundhog beside an abandoned building - "way out there" - Knowing I could not sneak closer due to the totally unobstructed view over a field, I dropped down to a secure sitting position, took aim, allowed a bit of "Kentucky elevation" and squeezed. To my dismay, the hog dropped like a rock. I placed a small pile of stones where my butt had been, went home and collected a 25 yard tape measure and my Wife. We went to and looked at the hog and found the entrance wound to be right under it's ear. PERFECT! We then measured the line to my little stone pile. 297 yards >>WOW! And, with the cheap Wildcat ammo. Needless to say, this is a quality rifle and a keeper. I am an old man now, and this rifle will be given to my son, along with some other fine firearms.
That’s a great story. I was raised up shooting these type of rifles. I shot them so much in my teens that I could shoot animals without looking at the front sight. It’s was kind of like shooting a traditional bow. You just have that feeling when you are on target. They are awesome rifles. Thanks for the comment.
My paternal Grandfather asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told him I wanted one of the new (at the time) Remington Nylon 66. I wanted the semi automatic version. He bought the Remington Nylon 11s.
I have both the nylon 11 ( box mag fed ) and the model 12 tube fed . My dad bought the 12 for my an auction for $35.00 back in the day and was my first real firearm . Still have it today and I’m 59!years old now. They both look brand new and were only made like 3 years if my in the early 60’s If memory serves me and both of mine look almost brand new .
Thanks for the comment. I don’t think there was ever a better .22 rifle made. I have known people that have shot them from 1-300 yds. They are really expensive today.
I've got a model 11, which I love for squirrel hunting and plinking. It's not in the greatest shape aesthetically, but it has a ball-ended bolt lever rather than the flat one that most of them do. I'm not sure how that happened, since I've never seen another like it. My dad picked it up in the 1980s. Unfortunately the rear sight is missing and someone drilled out a sling attachment hole in the bottom of the nylon. It's also gotten a bit beaten up over many years in the woods hunting raccoons and squirrels. It's my favorite .22 rifle I've ever fired, and crazy accurate with the ltitle Tasco scope it's had on it since at least the 1980s when we got it. I don't think it would be worth much to a collector, but I hope it stays in my family for a long time.
Hi Gary, Great video. I have the same rifles plus a senica green and black diamond. Also model 11 and 12 like yours. I get some interesting comments at range when I pull one of these out. They sure are interesting little rifles that have become very collectable. XP100, very nice! Thanks from New Zealand
That's awesome. They are hard to come by. The senica green would be a nice addition for me. There is also a green Kmart one too. Made for Kmart. Not to be confused with the Senica green. Some any the SG will go for 2,800.00 The no. 11 an 12 can go up to 9-1200.00 now. Thanks for the comment.
I bought a K-Mart Seneca green in 88 or 89 and put a couple hundred rounds through it. I hocked at a pawn shop in probably 92 for maybe 50 bucks, don’t ask me why😬. I wonder what it’s worth today 2023.

I have both a nylon 66 and a Seneca green apache 77. I can't find scope rings that seem to work. I looked online and all i can find is it takes a 3/8" dovetail ring. Any idea what model rings you have on yours?
I had no idea they made a bolt action , I always kicked myself for not buying one back when they were still making the 66, every used one I've seen looks like a battlefield pickup. Recently I bought a Winchester Wildcat which reminds me of the Nylon 66 concept. Someday I hope to find a decent condition one.
Through the years I've had the pleasure of owning an "Apache Black" 66, a "Mohawk Brown" Fireball and a "Mohawk Brown" 12. Yes, of course, not smart enough back then to hang on to them, dummy, lol. Good memories though!
I just got my old Nylon 12 back and I need a rear sight just curious if you might have any info on where to get the rear sight assembly for the Nylon 12, I have looked everywhere. Thank you.
Numrich Arms is always the best place to look at. I dont see the mod 12 rear sight in stock. They do restock items at times. I'm thinking the 66 or other mods are the same. I just checked all of them, they are not in stock now. At least you have a scope for it. Check with Numrich later. Also research the Nylon, they were copied by other countries.

I have never heard of a safety sticking. I have seen plastic parts stick, because someone spilled coke or something sticky on it. And the plastic gets stuck.

My Grandpa had a R 66 for squirrel hunting. Could shoot a squirrel in the eyeball at 30 - 40 yards. Taught me an Ozark Squirrel Call with 2 nickels clicked together when a squirrel ran around to the back of the tree. Click the nickels, and the squirrel would poke his head out .
I never heard of the nickel trick. We would take our hat and throw it on the back side of the tree. The squirrel would run to the opposite side of the tree so we had full view of him. Try it sometime. Thanks for the comment.
@@knightingalesaid I will THE nickel trick is to hold one nickel between your thumb and pointer finger. The scrape the other across your thumbnail and striking the other nickel. Sounds like a squirrel chittering. I grew up in the Ozarks and went hunting with grandpa all the time. Grandma had a few recipes for squirrel. I speak about it with my kids and they call me a GROSS OLD MAN .
Is it possible to give me the measurements of this ammo extractor? It would be to manufacture another. Mine broke , only the pin and the spring were left

I picked up a nylon 76 back in 1966 your right it's very accurate and perfect to carry all day it's light weight is perfect.
Thanks for the comment! They are my favorite . 22 rifles.
I own a Remington nylon 12 I’ve been searching for a way to mount a scope just like how you do any suggestions on the mounting system?
These brackets have screws that pinch them on those raised ridges on top of the receiver. Much like the older .22 LR rifles.
Weaver rings
11mm dovetail mount. The ones on the rifle are see thru Weaver.

@@knightingalesaid so far it has worked flawlessly since then. Thankfully all the older Remington magazines are compatible.
I had one, I remember shooting it many thousands of times and never had a single jam
They generally don’t jam. They do need to be cleaned now then.
I have a black one with a black diamond that I bought new in 1979 for $75. I love shooting this gun and have never had an issue.
I agree, they shoot great. They are my favorite .22 LR
I loved mine as a kid, sure wish I still had it.
Thanks for the comment! You can still find them. Try Gun broker.com or Guns America. Some things are worth the cost for nostalgic reasons. Take care.

I've got one for over 50 years, never had a jam nor a malfunction.
Hi Gary, great review. Very good you included the pistol, that was 😎
Good job
Thanks for the comment. Take care.
Whether it be rifle or shotgun, Remington has always been right on the money with the way the sights line up when the gun is shouldered.
I agreed. From the first time I looked through the sights of one it was right on target.

The C10 has a magazine not a clip. A clip loads from the top ,like the m1.
You are correct!
They are pretty flawless! Thanks for the comment.
I know you've probably answered this question before but how many types (models) were made in the Nylon 66, etc.... 22 rifles ??Thanks, Greg
I think there are 5 .22 and a larger cal. Rifle. And the .221 fireball pistol.

The 10C is in Mohawk Brown. The 77 is Green and the more valuable of the two.
Most experienced owners say scopes don't stay sighted on a 66 because the reciever moves a little, how has your experience been.
