Thank you

My father bought it from a friend who didn't shoot it much, then passed it on to me. I only fired about 100 rounds out of it to make sure it was shooting fine and found it to be quite good.Nice light rifle, great for the bush.
 
I have shot a couple of these. They are fine rifles. And LIGHT!

I imagine that is why the fella chose this one to hike off into Alaska with in the movie "Into The Wid"
 
I bought that exact same model back in 1974. I sold it to a friend 1978 because he really liked it. He still has it but it is no longer as pretty as yours.

Wow! That is nice. How long have these been around? An old buddy of my dad has one that is mint, and I thought he said he got it when he was just a young fellow. Were they around in the '60's or earlier?

I have a couple of the 77 clip fed versions, actually a 77 and a 10C (the Mohawk version, pretty much the same gun). Great little guns, very light, I bought them for my kids, who are now grown. Maybe I'll have them for grandkids, lol. - dan

:agree: I also have a Nylon10C. It's an nice little gun, not a target rifle but great for plinking & pest control. :)
 
Answer to P9shooter: Nylon 66 introduced by Remington in 1959 and discontinued its manufacture in 1987.

I finally got one, a 'Mohawk Brown' model in 2000. It was in excellent condition and had been manufactured in 1961.

All of the good things about the Nylon 66 stated in this thread are true. It is a fabulous little rifle that was far ahead of its time. A real pity that it is no longer made. My advice to all is get one if you can.
