TXpit: Sir; I don't know what part of the country your in. This weekend; at Charlotte; you would be able to look at 3-4 with one; unless they sold;
a "BRAND" new; and I do mean BRAND new with box all paperwork, the string tag still in place on trigger guard. Of course my drool marks. $499.00? I believe the price.

Thanks !

Unless they have changed the bolt system you can't lock the bolt open. I.E. you can't load a single shell very easily from the breech.

No new ones, as they've been discontinued for quite a few years. But occasionally, one can be found in really excellent condition. The collector market has discovered them though, so be willing to pay . . .

Found both mine in a local Gun&Pawn - $150 each.
Apache Black - fair to good outside, excellent shooter.
Mohawk brown - Excellent exterior, but has minor feeding issues.

Now looking for the elusive Seneca Green one.

When I was down in Cherryville, NC a month ago, the pawnshop in the next town northwest of there, which is also a gunshop/gunsmith, had a Nylon 66 in stock for I think $200. I think the place is called "Great All American Pawn" or something like that.

I picked up one at a Gunshow a while back. I have a round $200 in it. It is the brown one. Really cool little rifles. I don't know why the discontinued them.

By the way, does anyone know where the serial number is on them?

Big Dog: Sir; this was and is brand new. Never been fired. It's in Wadesboro, NC.
I realize years and years have gone by since production ended. This was is a Wow We find.

Big Dog · 01-26-2008, 04:51 PM

Old classics found NIB ('New In Box') are indeed a real treat! The original box and paperwork can be fully half the value of the whole package!
Question is . . . "wouldja shoot the thang!?"

I just can't see having a gun I'd be afraid to shoot . . .

1st gun I ever shot at the age of 8 yrs old..."Apache black" with chrome receiver...I'd like to find a nice one also.

I've come across a couple but they looked like they'd been bouncing around behind a pickup seat for 30 ys.

Big Dog: Sir; I am not a collector of firearms; When I drag one home; It will be a shooter.

I was amazed at finding this Nylon 66;

with everything there including what the man paid.

Would "I" have purchased it for a wall piece. NO.

It truly belongs on someones wall. History of another kind.
$59.00 New; I think

Big Dog · 01-27-2008, 07:37 AM

Neophyte, there is a Yahoo group dedicated to the Nylon 66 rifles. You might find it of interest!
They are great little rifles. Light and handy, and still very cool looking. They were really ahead of the trend stylewise.
I'd like to see Big Green bring it back. Supposedly, they killed it because the original machinery wore out - they sold the stuff to a Brazilian company which produced them for awhile under different names.

neophyte · 01-27-2008, 08:00 AM

Big Dog: Sir; thanks; I am the neophyte there too

Isn't it something; we have dedicated groups; who know there stuff and share.

Lord thank you for this equipment and the folks that 'use'

it.
