nylon 66 prices

[shms]

Anyone notice the high prices for the nylon 66 now and I don't mean just here gun shops too. I suppose its like anything collectable they are only worth what someone will pay. Are they actually selling for high prices or just sitting on the shelf?

In my area, nice ones are usually 425.oo & up. Real minty, unmarked units can fetch more. Stock color & metal finish adds or detracts in value.

Black ones are sitting close to $900 asking around me. Way too much for a shooter and a hell of a lot of money to put it on a wall to stare at it. Imho

I recently had one fall into my possession from a buddy. At first I thought it was brown until I started researching about the weird muddy greenish hue. Turns out to be Seneca Green and as close to mint that you can get! I remember shopping at Woolco with my grandmother in the 70s and seeing the brown Nylons all in a row on sale for $88.88. I pined for that little rifle and 45 years later I finally have one, LOL.

They are neat rifles but I assume it must be nostalgia inflating the prices. I have seen nice ones up around $600.

I have a couple of the clip fed 77's (10c). Two rifles for two kids. Think I paid 100 for one and 125 for the other, both with scopes, extra mags, and a bunch of ammo. Of course, that was in the 80's. You're right, the prices are nuts. - dan

I chose my Seneca Green from several and have read how rare they are.

Unfortunately, nobody really gives a crap about Nylons anymore.

Take your pick on the EE of some nice collectible ones...sitting there.

The big $ buyers aren't much interested. That's even if they're rare.

Maybe in the US.

The very first gun I ever bought was a Nylon 77. I picked it up in 1972 from LeBaron when they were in downtown Toronto. It cost me $43 out the door. I remember that distinctly because I was debating buying it or a Browning BL-22 but the Browning was $80 and I remember thinking at the time "I can`t afford that".
How times have changed.
