I received this one in a recent trade. Seems to be in good condition with just light freckling on the receiver cover. Also some handling marks on the stock but overall pretty nice. I took it apart and cleaned all the crud from the action. Afterwards I took it out for a trial run. It will fire as fast as you can operate the trigger now. Amazing how much fun these guns are. Looks like a keeper.

I got one as a birthday gift from my Parents back in the early 60's. I was on the HS shooting team and brought the rifle to school every Friday for team practice, left it in my locker till after school.
I will never part with that gun.
Enjoy!

Times have changed a bit haven't they! I've had several of them over the years. Completely disassembled the last one I had, not for the faint of heart. But it is doable. Big Grin

One of strangest rifles I think I've ever shot. It doesn't feel like most .22 rifles, it doesn't even sound the same.

A lot of difference between this one and my very heavy Begara B14R. Both weight and how they are constructed. Big Grin

I got one for my 6th birthday in 1981, my Grandpa got it used from a small shop for $89.00.My first gun and the only one I ever wish I still had. I couldn’t tell you how many squirrels I culled from our small Va. plot of land. It ran with every type of ammo and was a great firearm to start off with. The history of the weapon is quite interesting as well being one of the very first to largely incorporate plastic, most specifically DuPont’s Zytel. I have no doubt you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Congratulations! Purchased mine about 40 years ago at a Big 5 in El Cajon, CA. IIRC it was $99. Still in great shape. Need to get mine to the range.

That's super cool. I've always wanted one.

Congratulations on your getting your rifle. I second all the good comments earlier, owning two now and having owned three total. Currently I have the
66MB Mohawk Brown
66 BD Black Diamond
Had the 66AB but gave it to my brother years ago.

Here's some info lifted from a longer WIKIPEDIA article that I found interesting.

Nylon 66MB: Mohawk Brown, 1959–1987 (Brown stock, blue steel receiver/barrel)
Nylon 66GS: Gallery Special 1962–1981 (.22 Short only, Brown stock, blue steel receiver/barrel). Shell deflector. Counter cable attachment on bottom of stock. A few were known to have been Apache Black.
Nylon 66SG: Seneca Green, 1959–1962 (dark green stock, blue steel receiver/barrel) 42,500 made
Nylon 66AB: Apache Black, 1962–1984 (Black stock, chrome receiver & barrel) 221,000 made.
Nylon 66BD: Black Diamond 1978–1987 (Black stock, blue/black steel barrel and receiver cover)
Remington began numbering this model in 1967. Serial numbers for 1967 ran from 410000-419011. For 1968 the numbers ran from 419012–473710. These 1967–1968 serial numbers were located on the bottom of the barrel, about 3" back from the muzzle.
After 1968 serial numbers were located on the left-hand side of the Nylon 66 stamped metal receiver cover.

Have to applaud your taking it apart. That is a project ill-suited to the faint of heart such as I.
