Everything about the Remington Nylon Rifles!

Those Plastic Remingtons

Several years ago Gun Digest ran an article that really detailed the Remington Nylon Rifles. The article included a wonderfully detailed history that covered the conception of the Nylon Rifle by Remington and Du Pont and all details about all the different incarnations. It also compares the “plastic” Remingtons to the Charter Arms AR 7 and other plastic or synthetic stock rifles that were available at same time. Additionally it gives tips on how to to identify differences between all the models of these plastic sporting rifles. This is a must read for anyone that has any interest in the Remington Nylon Rifles. Please note that this is a PDF reproduction of a Magazine article and may be difficult to read but we feel it is worth putting out there for you to read. Enjoy!

    Dear Louie,

    I found your website and video on Youtube almost by accident, but I am really glad that I did. They bring me good memories or my early years and a plastic Remington.

    I got my first rifle at the age of 7. My dad taught me to shoot with that rifle, and yes, it was a Nylon 66, manufacturer code RJ. I spent a lot of time plinking and my allowance was never enough to buy all the ammo I needed. My old man came from the military and thought of me as a recruit: One Shot One Hit, but the fascinating firing speed of my rifle was my secret.

    I have had that rifle with me since then and it was my perennial companion to countless camping trips to the mountains and beaches. We went wading rivers, endured rain and mud, withstood heat and anything else you can think the rain forests of Costa Rica can offer. It never failed. But most of all, it was light to carry.

    I always carried two guns with me the Nylon 66 and a Star F Target model pistol also in 22 LR -and both with plastic stocks-, but the pistol was almost never used (maybe because I am a terrible handgun shooter).

    When I decided to sell or get rid of my other guns (three .45 pistols, one .41 Magnum revolver, One 12 Ga., One 9 mm semi, One 30-06 lever action, an old 7mm Mauser, etc.) I kept the one that proved to be the one I really love: the Nylon 66.

    Best,

    Raul
    PS I had to put the rifle on my desk to write this comment. I will be burning some powder this weekend.
