Remington Nylon 66 front sights. (Photo © Russ Chastain) Hey, a rifle’s only as good as its sights, especially for a plinking gun, which may be called on to shoot empty shotgun shells, soda cans, or any number of targets large or small. And while the Nylon 66’s “shark fin” front sight is a bit on the blonky side, it’s tough enough to take a hit and big enough to see easily. A square portion at the top which protrudes rearward can appear as a bead of sorts when you’re viewing it from the rear, and a dab of white paint on that part can help it stand out.

(Photo © Russ Chastain) The 66’s rear sight is riveted to the sheet metal shroud known as the receiver cover (these guns don’t have a receiver per se), and when adjusted for windage it pivots on that rivet. Windage adjustments are made via a cross-screw; the one on the left (1959) had a large knurled head while the 1971 version requires a small slotted screwdriver. Elevation is adjusted easily via a large knurled and coin-slotted screw. These sights work together well and allow for excellent plinkability. The Stock Naturally, the plastic stock is the heart of the Nylon 66. And while the Schnabel-type forend is stylish, that doesn’t help you hit targets. Good thing the light weight makes the rifle so fast-handling, and the length of the stock is just right. Remington Nylon 66 rifles. (Photo © Russ Chastain) Best of all, when I shoulder this little rifle, I find my eye looking right down the sights in as natural a fit as you could imagine. There’s even checkering molded into the forearm and the pistol grip, which does a pretty good job of improving grip without going overboard. And just to touch on another practical aspect, that white diamond in the side of the forearm isn’t just there for looks; it also conceals a nut and bolt that’s there to reinforce the stock.

And if you like a genuine-imitation wood grain finish, find yourself a Mohawk Brown model (bottom). The black and chrome version is called Apache Black. The Action The Zytel Nylon holds up extremely well to harsh use, and it even forms much of this little rifle’s action. While the steel sheet metal receiver covers are necessary to make the gun run, internal parts including the bolt ride on and in rails of Nylon, molded right into the stock. While the pristine organoclay showed a (001) peak at 2θ = 4.9o in the WAXD patterns, nylon-66/clay nanocomposites gave the disappearance of the peak regardless of mixing conditions, sug- gesting an exfoliated clay morphology in the nylon 66 matrix.
