What’s Included
- CBC Nylon 66 .22 LR semi-automatic rifle
Manufactured by Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (CBC) in Brazil, this Nylon 66 variant carries clear import and origin markings: "MADE IN BRAZIL BY CBC" and "IMPORTED BY KASSNAR – HARRISBURG, PA." These marks, along with its 1980s production era, provide solid context for origin and distribution.
The rifle uses a straight blowback action with a slender charging handle and right-side ejection beneath a top-cover style receiver. Feeding is through a buttstock-housed tubular magazine with a stated 14-round capacity, loaded via an oval port in the buttplate for streamlined handling.
Its 19.5 in barrel ends in a plain, unthreaded crown and is paired with a ramped front sight and an adjustable open rear sight for practical sighting. The bore condition and rifling are both rated good, with intact, well-defined lands and grooves.
The one-piece black synthetic stock is a hallmark feature, offering molded checkering for grip, white line spacers for contrast, and a white diamond inlay in the forend. Length of pull measures 13.6 in, and the rifle wears a blued finish over a steel receiver for a classic appearance.
