Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Remington Nylon 66 made of?

The Remington Nylon 66 is notable for its stock, which is constructed from Zytel Nylon 101, a durable polymer developed by DuPont. This material choice contributes to its lightweight design and affordability.

How do you load the Remington Nylon 66?

The Remington Nylon 66 is loaded through its buttstock. A brass magazine tube is inserted into the rear of the stock, holding up to 14 rounds of .22 LR ammunition.

What caliber is the Remington Nylon 66?

The Remington Nylon 66 is chambered in .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR). It is crucial to use the correct caliber, as .22 Magnum rounds are dimensionally different and can cause malfunctions.

Why does the Nylon 66 require minimal lubrication?

The rifle's design incorporates the nylon stock material as part of the bolt's running surface. This self-lubricating aspect, combined with the polymer's properties, means it requires significantly less traditional lubrication than metal-on-metal designs.
