What’s Included
- Remington Nylon 10 bolt-action single-shot rifle (.22 LR)
This Nylon 10 retains the hallmarks of the series: a Mohawk Brown Zytel-101 nylon stock with molded checkering, a white diamond inlay, and a Remington-marked buttplate with a white-line spacer. The 13.5 in length of pull and the stock’s integral bracket system that secures the barrel and action reflect the model’s lightweight, durable design.
The blued 19.5 in steel barrel is rollmarked "22 SHORT, LONG OR LONG RIFLE," indicating compatibility across the three .22 rimfire loadings. Sighting is via practical iron sights: a ramped front blade paired with an adjustable rear sight.
Controls and bolt details include a left-side safety lever, a red-tipped cocking piece at the rear of the bolt, and a polished spoon-style bolt handle. The rifle operates as a single-shot with a capacity of one round, emphasizing simplicity and precision for training or deliberate small-game shooting.
Production of the Nylon 10 occurred circa 1962–1964 in the USA, making it one of the scarcer Nylon variants. This rifle shows period inspection/proof characters and a "BK" barrel code. Many Nylon 10 rifles left the factory without serial numbers due to the production era, a detail often noted by collectors of early Nylon models.
