What’s Included
- Remington Nylon 66 Mohawk Brown .22 LR semi-automatic rifle
Introduced in 1959, the Nylon 66 broke ground with its Zytel nylon stock and receiver cover, eliminating the need for traditional wood or metal lower receivers. The material resists moisture and temperature changes, keeping weight to roughly 4 lbs while maintaining durability.
This rifle’s 19.5-inch carbon-steel barrel is paired with an integral 14-round tubular magazine housed in the buttstock, giving shooters extended range time without external magazines. The right-side charging handle and blowback action deliver simple, reliable operation.
The Mohawk Brown stock features molded checkering for a secure grip and a 13.75-inch length of pull that fits a wide range of shooters. A matte-black finish on the barrel and receiver cover contrasts nicely with the brown polymer for a classic Nylon 66 look.
Factory iron sights include a ramped polymer front sight with protective ears and a fold-down, elevation-adjustable rear leaf. The receiver is grooved for tip-off scope mounts, giving shooters an easy path to optics if desired.
With over 700,000 Mohawk Brown rifles produced, the color remains the most iconic of the series, and examples in this level of preservation continue to attract collectors and rimfire enthusiasts alike.
