After analysis, engineers determined that there were savings to be found in the production of the receivers and stocks of rifles.
Thus Remington asked chemical engineers at to come up with a plastic that could replace both the wooden stock and the receiver. The specs given to DuPont called for a material that could be formed into any shape desired but that also had a high tensile-impact and flexural strength. After some research, DuPont came back to Remington with a compound they called Nylon Zytel-101. Zytel is DuPont\'s brand name for Nylon.
Remington Nylon 66.22 LR Description: Mohawk Brown Remington nylon 66.22 LR semi-automatic rifle. All original in good condition. Normal minor scuff marks on nylon. Never polished. These are very good, very lightweight.22 cal. Xtract software crackers recipe. Excellent for a camp gun or for a beginner and a lot of fun to shoot. Nylon 66s in the author’s collection include a Bicentenial (just below the boxed 66), Seneca Green just below it. Note the Black Diamond version two rifles below the green one as well as the black rifle with the white diamond which is the CBC import rifle second from bottom.
This compound was ultimately used to produce the stock and receiver. After the Nylon 66 proved to be successful, Remington also marketed a series of bolt action and lever action rifles using Nylon stocks.
Design and features [ ]. Remington Nylon 66 cycling. The largely synthetic construction meant that the Nylon 66 could operate without any added lubricants.
This made it popular in arctic regions, and indeed there have been many reports of indigenous peoples killing large animals, such as moose, with a.22 LR fired from a Nylon 66. Some have speculated that the light weight of the gun could potentially cause substandard accuracy in the field, but this does not seem to be a complaint from Nylon 66 shooters. The Nylon 66 was fitted with leaf sights as well as a grooved receiver that could accommodate a mount for a telescopic sight.
It was available in several colors, such as \'Mohawk Brown\', \'Apache Black\', and \'Seneca Green\'. The 77 Apache version has a bright green stock and was sold by K-Mart. The Seneca Green is a dull colored green and, in some lighting conditions, Seneca Green is difficult to distinguish from the more common brown. This version was also made with a detachable 10 round magazine which; in contrast to the standard version; was often unreliable. A copy of the tube magazine model was also made by FIE of Brazil, but many of these had quality control issues.
The standard U.S. Made tube magazine model could reliably cycle hundreds of rounds without cleaning, provided high velocity ammunition was used.
