I finally managed to find a nylon 66 that I was willing to pay for. I’ve been keeping my eye out for one for a while and got one that’s probably in better condition than I deserve. My question for you guys. How do I clean this thing? I guess I should’ve looked into this before I bought one, but I didn’t think of it.....
 
Thanks guys. I have crappy internet and have never had good luck posting photos through third party sites, so unfortunately no pictures. Took it out back for a quick test run yesterday, ran fifty through it with no issues. Now to download.....
 
I have a mag fed one, was the first gun I bought many years ago. I took it apart just last year to clean it properly for the first time ever. It wasn't malfunctioning or anything, the mags weren't staying in and I had to tweak the mag catch spring, so I figured I should clean it while I had it apart. I have no idea how many thousands of rounds I've put through that gun over the years, but it's always worked. There's a screw at the bottom of the receiver that you loosen, then the barrel slides out, along with the bolt and striker. It's a real pain to get everything back in place, and I don't plan on doing it again if I don't have to. I think the old Ruger MK series pistols are way easier, and lots of people don't want them because they're too hard to strip and reassemble.

Brake cleaner and compressed air. No disassembly required.

I don't use brake cleaner around plastics. The label on the brake cleaners I've got say to not get the stuff on plastics.

On my Nylon 66's, I've always used a wee bit of Jet lube 12/34 to loosen the crud, followed by judicious wipe-up using small artist brushes & Q-tips.
I reckon shooting compressed air into the actions on these rifles would just drive loosened crud deep into the areas the parts ye don't see reside. (And there's lots of 'em.) SeaFoam motor treatment is another good cleaner that's safe with plastics.

You’re supposed to clean them ?
Lol , seriously , I’ve never done anything to mine except run a bit of cleaner and lube down the barrel and then snake it . It’s taken many gophers and is fun as heck for beginners as it’s a laser with open sites and they hit the target often .
