I recently aquired one of these little rifles and was wondering if anyone can share some info about them. It has the brown stock and some light rust spots around the front sight and what I'd really like to do is dissasemble and Duracoat it. From what I've read so far complete dissasembly is highly discouraged so I'd like to know just how far I can take it down and still get it back together. Thanks in advance. Trashcan |

Something I remember about them Remington use to advertise that they "were carried and used by Alaskan Fisherman" to shoot sea lions raiding their fishing nets. They were the only rifles that could take the harsh weather. Then they would show a picture of a Fisherman in some rough seas. Not a very politically correct advertisement but it was cool none the less. They also bragged that they could shoot a million rounds without a malfunction. |

Great rifle. I own a Nylon 10 which was the bolt-action single shot predecessor. I believe these were the first synthetic stock rifles ever made. In the lineup were the Nylon 10 (single shot) 11 (bolt action tube fed) and 12 (bolt action magazine fed) 66 (semi-auto) and 77 (Not sure...) There is a yahoo! group dedicated to the Nylon series of rifles, you can find more info there than you could possibly use. |
| I can tell you that it was a very good first gun for a 7-year old (me, 31 years ago). I had the black one that was loaded in the butt-stock. And my dad had the brown on that used a magazine. I used to envy him being able to shove in the magazine. Whereas I had to put the muzzle on my foot and fill the "butt hole" of the thing. But I never had any problems with it that I can remember. |

I have one. My Dad bought it many, many years ago. He said he bought it because he saw an advertisment where a gentle was standing on a mound of spent brass. The caption read "250,000 rounds without a single jam" I don't know that I have had a ftf while i was shooting it. |
