Just wondering what other shooters think of these little auto loading .22 rifles.A couple of years ago I bought a 10c and have been very happy with it.It is light and dependable.

Seems to me that I read an article at one time about someone setting a world record shooting small blocks tossed in the air with a .22 Remington 66.
 
I believe it was remington propaganda for the nylon 66 where they did a test and had fired over 100,000 rounds without any stoppages. (I believe it was between 2 or more guns and while buddy was firing one, someone was reloading the other(s) )
 
nope, just the two guns- 2 inch square balsa blocks, hand thrown- which also says something for the guy behind the gun
 
Nylon 66

I have 2 of these rifles a Mohawk brown and an Apache Black Diamond that I bought for the kids to use at the range, so I put a rimfire scope on each and had them all sighted in for the boys. So we all go to the range and get them all loaded up and a front sand bag targets all set. They start shooting and shooting and loading and more shooting. Then I says guys you take a break I want shoot my new bolt 22, well ya should have heard it, Oh wow how come we can't have a bolt gun...................... I just thought because when I was a kid and because of the video games they play that a semi was what they were going to want to shoot. Our 6 year went 5 for 5 with the CZ 17HMR at the 50 yard gong, and the 14 year old wants to have the Savage HB all to himself.
Wait till they try the BRNO"s FS
 
The record with the blocks ,that the guy with the Remington Nylon 66 beat, had been set in 1907 by a man named Ad Topperwein ,using three Winchester Model 1903 .22 rifles.

I believe the Remington record was set in 1969.I wonder if it will last as long as the Winchester one did.
 
The guy shot 100,004 blocks out of 100,010 blocks thrown,with I believe two rifles. It doesn't say if he missed the six blocks or he had six jambs,either way he was like Topperwine,tom Knack I don't think it would have made little diference what rifle he used!(except one that could match his excellence)

Just a great marksman and says a great deal about the experamental trend setter that the Nylon 66 was.

I have one MB just bought it today.

Remington Nylon 22 Semi Autos

I have a chance to trade for a Nylon 66 with brown stocks, but don't know how much they are worth?

A gunsmith friend of mine once told me that the two semiautomatic 22 rifles that he has had the least amount of trouble, are the Ruger 10/22, and the Remington Nylon 66.
 
all together now in chorus- I PROMISE NEVER TO TAKE MY NYLON 66 APART; I PROMISE TO TAKE ONLY THE COVER OFF, I PROMISE TO CLEAN ONLY THE BARREL AND I PROMISE NEVER TO LUBE OR OIL- OR MY LEFT NUT WILL FALL OFF

x2 ;)

But I'm in (Ontario and in) need of someone who can actually take my Nylon 66 apart and find out why it keeps jamming. Otherwise, salesville...
 
jamming in what way- failure to feed?- there's a trick to that- you load 1 in the chamber and fill up the tube- that way she won't double feed

Nylon's are kind of fun...
a little while back my dad taught that I needed one (so that we could have a little father/son competiton...don't ask, we often end up with "matching" guns), so he gave me the pimp-version! Black stock with nickel receiver/barrel :eek:

A little flashy for my taste... but a whole lot of fun to shoot :dancingbanana:
