Dad had one of these in his gun safe. It was the first 22 LR I had the pleasure to shoot. Dad also had the Remmington Speed Master, but I preferred the Nylon 66. It is a simple but complicated little riffle. Compared to other 22 LR, you need three hands with six fingers on each one to reassemble it! The nice thing is you don't oil the workings of this gun and it rarely needs any work. Oil swab to clean the barrel only. Oil in the works only makes it collect grit and gums it up. I use an air compressor to blow the residue out of it and that is about all it needs. All the internal metal parts with the exception of the barrel are made of a special alloy and won't rust. Seems to never wear out. I still have it in the safe and it still works like magic. Great Gun.

Bought one for $50.00 at an Estate Sale in excellent condition. It's accurate and shoots great. While at the range a collector offered me a trade. An AR and cash which I turned down.

I am very familiar with the nylon 66 family of rifles. They are one of the most reliable 22 rifles ever designed. They were very accurate with iron sights, but problems with accuracy with scopes because the thin receiver covers would move around slightly. I had one of these rifles as a kid growing up. When I was 16, we had a Neighborhood .22 rifle shoot, off hand , tightest 5 shot group at 50 yards. I won it with a 5/8" group shooting Federal ammo and my Nylon 66. I was a Happy kid, but we had some old timers that were upset that I had beat their old favorite Squirrel rifles with a plastic gun. Keep up the good work

I haven't had the pleasure to shoot one as this one was new in the box, but one of these days I'll pick up a used one and test er out! Thanks for the info!

For how reliable it is and would be in a critical life-threatening event, especially the way this country’s headed since they stole 20 20, the person who sold it for 15 C notes might wish they’d kept it.

How do you replace a broken off windage screw?

@@TAJArmory The answer is: you don't. I ordered a new screw for $4.95, but you have to pry up on the back of the flat spring to get the old one out. Once you do this the spring never goes back down tight on the adjustment screw. So if your screw is broken or missing, so long as the rivets are tight, just push the sight right or left with your thumb and index finger.

I have a Nylon 66 that I am trying to repair. The only problem is about a 1/2" part of the feed ramp is actually part of the nylon frame. This short part of the nylon is worn and causes jamming issues. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to repair this problem. The rifle belongs to my 89-year-old father-in law and was used by his son who died suddenly from a brain aneurism at 49. The rifle is going to be passed down to one of his grandsons once I have it ready.

A Gun smith can use epoxy filler to rebuild the ramp area. If you don't know a good one, you can ask around at one of the small gun stores and they may be able to give you a good reference to someone local. Some parts for these are really hard to find or can be expensive, but they are worth fixing!!
