Any one know what a Nylon 66 and or 77 is worth used in what appears to be very good condition ?

Check Gunbroker,com. Plenty of 66 and 77 for sale with pictures. You can compare them to condition of what you have or looking at.

Many people give general reply on value questions as "value is what someone is willing to pay".

I dont have them ,there sitting in a floor rack at a local gun shop on consignment .They look real nice ,almost new . $300 for the 66 and $400 for the 77 . Not a great deal but never had one before so thought it would be neat to own . I guess the 77 is a little rare .

Well arnie I understand your desire. A nylon has been on my acquisition list for a while now, but I just have not come across one at the right price yet. Seems to me price is not great but not bad either. To me condition would drive my action.

I just purchased a Black Diamond variation for $450.00. It's in real good condition from the late 1970's according to the serial number. I grabbed it because I see them north of $600. I originally was intent on buying a Mohawk Brown 66 but these were in the $400 range for a good one. +200K were manufactured for the MB 66 while the BD 66, only 56K were produced. I see the Apache Black sells for around $450-$650 range. There are a few others in the rarity category but you will have to pay big $. Even the shabby ones are selling for a few hundred dollars. I've been tracking the price for a while now and see them creeping up. Hence, that's why jumped on my latest acquisition.

I'd pay $300 plus for an Apache Black in decent condition. Those AB's sure are purdy.
I bought a Mohawk Brown 66 this summer for $175, I don't think I would have gone as high as $300.

Be aware that the 77 with it's removable magazine can be more problematic with feeding compared to the tube magazine 66. You'll want to have several good mags for it.

The tube-in-the-butt stock mag of the 66 are as reliable as can be.

i have both , im in the same mind of 'buy them both' , you dont see them all that often to pass on good ones , these were way ahead of their time and still shoot better than any you will find of modern version as far as i am concerned , mine function flawlessly when i take them out ,

As you can see here, numbers are all over the board. If you want further verification go check these guns on Armslist.com and you will see what I mean. Some people feel their rifle is worth a lot more than some others think. Around here, NC, $300 is good on a 66 as you describe. Is the 77 an Apache 77 (Mohawk Brown) or a 77 (K-Mart green)? I would pick up the 66.

I agree. Numbers are all over the board. I think this has to do with location. In my honest opinion, if you come across a real nice clean gun in around the $300-$450 range, that's a good deal. Most of the ones I see on the various gun sights are not that way. Minor rust and blemishes on the plastic are quite common.

I looked on a few auction sights and yes the prices are all over the place . Im sure since these are on consignment ,they would take an offer . I will have to go check on them next week . BTW ,here in California there are real bargains on older shotguns since you cant use lead shot any more and the older barrels wont hold up to steel shot .They have rows of shot guns but mostly useless here .

nylon 66

First gun I ever purchased back in 69-70 for $69.00 10s of thousands of round later its still mine and going strong. Now for me PRICELESS and will never be sold while I am alive. People always ask me if I could only take 1 gun when the SHTF what would I chose ? My nylon 66 ! Prices I see around Phoenix are 300-400 bucks. good luck !
