That is a beautiful Remington! Make some memories with your son and the rifle.

 

Now start looking for spare parts especially the bolt handle.

 

Got an extra bolt handle already. But am starting my search for a spare magazine!

 

I have one of the 10C also and like it. I have a spare mag that is 10c marked and they can be hard to find. Enjoy the rifle and make some great memories with it.

 

Would you be willing to sell your extra mag?...or know where I can find one for my 10C?
I'm looking to sell my 10C and can't find a mag

 

Every time I see a Remibgton Nylon I think about Tom Frye sitting on that pile of wood blocks he set a World Record shooting with a Nylon 66. They are a part of history!

 

Super cool. High school friend had a one and he never would sell it. I wanted a Nylon brother for my 66. Enjoy, great find, start the hunt for mags.

 

I have noticed over the last year or so that the Sky High prices on Nylons are trending back down. That's still a steal but locally they aren't bringing the $500-600 they were.

 

I bought a magazine off eBay last week for $21 shipped. I don’t get this “they are hard to find”. Isn’t this the same mag the 77, 581 and 541 use? You can pay as much as you want to for one, but you don’t have to watch long on eBay to find one for less than $30.

 

For the Canadians out there looking for magazines this is one example on this site.

REMINGTON NYLON 77/MOHAWK 10C/541S/581 MAG - NEW IN PACKAGE (#10) | amherstburg, ON | GUNPOST

I've got no dog in this fight. Just mentioning it. There are others but this the only one that is "NEW".

 

Well, I counter offered $90 for 7 mags on eBay and the guy accepted. If they work, my lucky streak continues!

 

That was an EXCELLENT deal! Great score and spares galore!!!

 

Few people know they made a lever action and a bolt action with plasticky nylon stocks.

Back in the dead hand of the past these rifles were a good deal as you could buy them at Kmart for little more than a song and a dance. Today's prices are a different story since most of the time you can buy a used Ruger 10/22 for way less and the Ruger has a ton of spare parts and custom parts available.

I have toyed with idea to buy a Remington 552 speedmaster but prices are soaring on these as Remington no longer makes these either.

They want $1,300 for this one.

 

Whe I was 14 years old my bu had one of the few lever action 66’s I’ve ever seen. Sweet little rifle..

 

$250 is a good deal!! I've seen any Nylon 66 going for $400+. Nice find!!

I've got a Mohawk Brown Nylon 66 my dad gave me when I was 8 years old.

 

I disassembled (cover, barrel, bolt only) the rifle today to see how it looked on the inside. Dirty to be expected but not too bad. However way too much oil inside so I cleaned that oily grungy particulate mess up. One of the receiver cover screws and the big fat screw underneath that holds the stock to the barrel must have been tightened by Hercules! When I put it all back together, I of course just "snugged" all the screws up, no over tightening. Did a test shoot and all worked as it should. I'm lovin' the rifle!

 

Really a shame what happened to Remington. They made so many good, affordable rifles, only to get wrecked by finance capital. Now we have to just buy up the old guns when possible.

 

I've never seen a Nylon 66 with a magazine. Very nice!

 

Back in the 1960's I was walking past my local small town hardware store and thought I might be hallucinating when I saw a Remington rifle that appeared to be maroon in color. Years later I found out it was a 572 lightweight with an aluminum receiver and barrel (which was sleeved). It was called the buckskin tan but when new they looked more maroon until the finish faded into tan.

They also made it in teal wing blue and black.

If I remember correctly the gun only weighed 4 1/2 lbs.

 

I happen to have one of the "Blue Wing Teal' units. Made in 1958 just like me!.

 

I bought a couple of nylons from K-Mart probably in the late 70s. 10-C cost me $39 and the 66 was $49. Reliable but not bolt gun accurate, so I didn't hang on to them. Also, not real scope friendly either, as the
"receiver" could always shift just a bit over the nylon body of the stock.
