Yes I suppose your right it's not such a good idea after all, just think what could happen to the first guy that walks through the door with a cranial plate, or some Gal with a polarized IUD. We better rethink this whole notion before it goes viral. D.H.

Depends on the gal I suppose. But been happily married for 40 years. Such a search wouldn't go too well with the missus. Yup. we're best to re-think that one....LOL.

I just inherited a Mohawk brown Nylon 66 and it appears to be quite intact with no damage to the noted problem charging handle. The link Cat provided also had a serial number chart and this one seems to be from April 1969. I'm looking forward to getting out with it this summer.

I remember seeing Nylons for sale in the mid 70s at Woolco. They sold for under $100 I believe. Recently Ive seen examples go for $395!!!!

Another gun that you couldn't give away at the time.
Wish I hadn't passed on the opportunities to buy the ones I came across now.

I had one growing up. It was the reddish/brown version. It would also jam when firing those cone head bullets (hornets?) and practically bend the bullet right out/off the brass.
I found feeding it "standard" ammo would cure this nuisance. Nothing like putting a gopher on the run and having the gun jam on you.

I understand where you're coming from buck12, as far a hanging on to it. But it was never intended as a keeper. I acquired it so that I could learn the internal mechanics of it. I've had to re-crown the muzzle, and repair the cracked stock. It therefore has lost "collector value". When I put it up for sale, I will certainly consider that.

Most of us have lost our "collector value", but still manage to carry on.

Well, the previous owner took that for all it's worth as this thing was so dirty internally that it took 2 sessions of ultrasonic bath cleaning to get the internal parts cleaned up. Otherwise though, it looks to be in good shape. I've seen a couple or so at gun shows, and they seem to have a following of collectors. When I get this one back together, I'll probably sell it unless it really impresses me as another potential rimfire to my current collection.

I remember seeing them for sale in the Sears catalogue!

I gave each of my boys two sears catalogs, still in wrapper from the years they were born in. As a keepsake.

Like others here, the Nylon 66 was my first 22, given to me by an uncle. I shot more gophers with that thing than i can count, if I remember correctly it liked winchester wildcats.
There is an article about the 66 in this months "Shooting Times" magazine which is worth checking out!
