- Remington Nylon 66 made by Remington in October of 1964. It's a super lightweight semi-auto in .22LR, and it proved to be very popular. Honestly, I wasn't planning on covering this one until I saw that Forgotten Weapons was going to put out a video and make it relevant.
Honestly, I wasn't planning on covering this one until I saw that Forgotten Weapons was going to put out a video and make it relevant. Good to see because these really are nice rifles.
A true classic!
Never could figure out whether the designer just liked the feed mechanism of the Spencer ...
...or had an epiphany at his colonoscopy.🤔
My grandfather has one in a different color. Neat guns
Gun Jesus provideth
They are absolutely NOT "nice rifles".
They are just waiting for the right chance to shoot your eye out!
I'm so sick of you gun nut yayhooz fawning over assault plinkers.
Did you know that in 100 years almost 69 people have put their eyes out with assault plinkers?
I am working right now with Justin Trudeau, The United Nations and the peace loving leaders of China to come up with a comprehensive law that completely bans assault plinkers and bans the sale of any guns that shoot bullets.
Yours truly, Gavin Newsom and ass buddy David Hogg 🤡🤣
@@ANDunn-tf6xp 🍻 You're alright.
That’s a .22 with a hell of a lot of swag. Early synthetic components, sleek silhouette. I believe this was also Jerry Michulek’s first gun, bonus points!

Jerry Michulek? Heard that name somewhere
Fascinating that this was the real first major implementation of synthetics in weapon stock designs for long arms.
It is? I thought it was a modernized or bubba’d model
@@thefuzzysheep3859 nono, DuPont basically had THE control of the viability of such a product existing (due to their dominance in the field of polymers, and how many patents they held for viable synthetics for the purpose) and it was somewhat through them that this thing came to be.
Technically, one could hypothetically have gone and got some custom-made, one off, highly anachronistic full bakelite stock that cracks like a mfer at an earlier time period. But such a hypothetical wasn't really ever practical, especially for a serialized commercial product. This was the first major foray into long arms with synthetics, something that obviously caught on big time.
That said, yes, certain pistols and small parts had been made with like grip panels of bakelite or other synthetic resins prior to this, but those were never big, major components, or long arms.
Bakelite was in use on firearms , somewhat earlier. Particularly in Germany.
@@yeetyateyote5570 thank you for your well spoken and thought out comments
No it wasn't
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. I remember making many detours by that store after school to see it and handle it because I thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. I know, kids are stupid... One thing though, the vendor had all of his firearms on unlocked shelves and racks to test freely, even for children. The ammo was never far from the guns either. Things back then were a whole lot different.
In 1959 a world record was set with a Remington Nylon 66, shooting a total of 100,004 out of a total of 100,100 4" x 4" wooden blocks tossed into the air without any malfunctions, missing only 96 blocks
My grandpa has one of these! It's nice to see someone havig fun with that tiny firearm
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!
They made lever actions too. Those are rare. Models 77 I think.
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.
That’s a nice example of one it even has the sticker still
My grandfather kindly gifted me his Nylon 66. Needed a new seer spring and the safety doesn’t work anymore but it’s a lot of fun to shoot once I got it working.
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 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 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.
Shot one of these, surprising light, it has an intriguing way of reloading. :)))
That thing is in mint condition! Very lovely
Inherited 2 of these from my late grandfather
First auto loading rifle I ever shot
He taught me well
Miss you, gramps
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.
Here in Brazil, CBC (Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos, Brazilian Cartridge Company) produced this weapon under license in the past
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.
Recently Went To A Gun Show And Bought A .50 Cal Tennessee Mountain Rifle. That Thing Kicks Like A SOAB. Great Videos As Always Man.
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.
Got mine about 35yrs ago,and still love it.
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.
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 Man, that third party firing pins industry must been booming
@@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.
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.
I wish they would reintroduce this one...looks very cool top shoot!
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.
Do you have a Walther P38 in your collection? I'd love to see POV shots of one of those. Solid video btw 👍
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
@@TenaciousTrilobite would you ever borrow a gun from someone? Are you strictly a buy a gun and then show it guy?
@@thomaslikescarsI would borrow from people that I know well outside of TH-cam. Logistics of getting things shipped back and forth is usually too big of a headache, though
@@TenaciousTrilobite somebody should have started some rumors about some of those German gun models. Like maybe that they were made in France or Khyber Pass.
Or maybe we could say that all K98k's are known to blow up immediatly upon loading the magazine. Can't even fire it gotta give it to me.
Thank you tenacious
I really miss that little rifle. It was fun to shoot. I sold mine and regretted it ever since.
I like how the entire video is just him reloading
Nothing makes a man more excited than a good pair of nylons
It's really aggravating to wonder why this and other good .22's have been discontinued.
My great grandma’s gun. She could to over the shoulder trick shots while aiming with a mirror way back when
my grandpa owns one of these and I've had the pleasure of shooting it it's a nice rifle
first time seeing a rifle being loaded at the stock
having never seen one of these I was not expecting the tube mag to load from the butt
I have one my wife gave me in 1977 for our first wedding anniversary. Still shots today.
I was expecting this to be a pellet gun with the way it looks.
That one is sure still in nice shape ..brasso polishes those stocks when they oxidize and change color
A gun so odd it's beautiful.
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
A favorite for sure. Brings back memories.
My brother has one, and its actually a nice firearm.
My little brother has our great grandpas nylon 66 Apache
I love mine so much, I need a new tube for it because it got lost somewhere in storage.
Had one in the 60s. Brrrt! like having a .22 machine gun!
Remington 66 the first 22lr I shot in my life!
Now i see where the crosman 760 pumpmaster takes inspiration from
love it!
Such a Remington way to design a gun, a weird removable internal mag that twists off from the butt plate...
i can smell this video
Interesting feed method
How the hell did you collect all those beautiful things
best
My childhood rifle!
All it needs is a tiny little Blakeslee tube and then it’s all set.
"The .22 long rifle is a military rifle caliber that is known to blow both lungs completely out of the body."
I have one in all black. Love it
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.
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.
No mags to purchase? Okay, bring this back, I want one.
Perfect for home defense
best pov
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.
Some one million of these guns were built though
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"
"You remember muzzle loaders? Why don't we make a butt loader instead?"
@@trashrabbit69 butt loader owo
Christopher Spencer. :)
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.
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.
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!
My dad owned this gun. It was the first one i ever shot.
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.
oh wonderful rifles
That looks a lot like a Daisy 880 airgun. Interesting... 🤔
I have the exact same thing in an Crosman airgun, Power Master 66c...
Nice
love it
looks like my old bb gun
California be like: This is a dangerous assault weapon
Man guns only seen fun to me when I'm on some good shooting land instead of a range
Farmers favorite.
It looks like a Crosman 2100!
One of the few oke 22s they smol tho
I feel sorry for people that have never fired a gun before.
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
yeah
modern spencer carbine
Wanted one a a kid sent to rem for 1 of the 10000 wooden blocks they tossed in the air and shot. Never got the rifle bought a fullstock .22 bolt instead.
They also came in Black
such a cool gun, too bad it has the stock reload system, i hate to use that
I bought mine in 1971.
.
Had one with suspender looooong time ago..
Espectacular ideal para cazeria de jabalí 👍
what an odd loading mechanism.
Hmmmm yes, very wise
In the thumbnail I thought it was a fucking pellet gun
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
I hate I sold mine..
0 recoil hack be like:
But does it bend?
