Remington Nylon 66 Mohawk Brown .22 LR Semi-Automatic Rifle – 19.5" Barrel, 14-Round Tubular Magazine
Remington’s Nylon 66 helped pioneer synthetic-stocked rifles, and this Mohawk Brown example offers that history in a lightweight, full-size .22 LR package. The integral Zytel-101 stock and receiver keep weight around 4 lb, while the 19.5" barrel and 14-round buttstock magazine deliver plenty of time on target before reloading. An original factory box accompanies the rifle, adding collectability.

What’s Included
- Original Remington factory cardboard box marked “Nylon 66 Mohawk Brown” Stock No. 5500
The Nylon 66 series was among the first mass-produced rifles to use a glass-filled nylon frame and stock, eliminating the need for traditional wood while resisting weather and temperature changes. This Mohawk Brown variant is the original and most common color, instantly recognizable by collectors.
Remington’s blow-back action feeds from a 14-round tubular magazine concealed in the buttstock, giving the shooter ample capacity without external protrusions. The reciprocating charging handle sits on the right side for straightforward operation.
The 19.5" barrel pairs with open sights—a serrated ramp front (hood removed) and a fully adjustable rear leaf mounted on the receiver cover—providing a clear, quick sight picture for small-game hunting or plinking.
Serial-numbered post-1967 production confirms later manufacture within the Nylon 66 line, while the molded checkering, white diamond inlay, and plastic grip cap maintain the model’s classic appearance.
Overall weight hovers around 4 lb, making this full-size rifle easy to carry on extended outings yet stable enough for accurate off-hand shooting.
