A revolutionary design: the first mass-produced rifle with a stock, receiver, and trigger guard made entirely from DuPont Zytel nylon. The Nylon 66 proved that synthetic stocks could be practical and durable, paving the way for the synthetic-stocked firearms market that exists today. Incredibly reliable — Remington's promotional shooter shot one for a million rounds without cleaning.
