I have a fondness for items made from the turn of the Century up until about 1945, seems like after that things changed. The only plastic gun I own is my Colt AR15. I carried a weapon very similar to it in the Central Highlands for a couple of years..Well I take that back I have a half dozen Remington Model 66 Nylon .22 rifles. Those are cool..I guess I'm a hypocrite really!

Jerry, we can't help getting attached to personal firearms that are not for paper punching. It was that way with a Luger I had, long ago and far away. For several years, I had no other choice, and I worried about reliability. But both of us are happily and boringly stateside for good. Later, an FN Hi Power made me feel better, as I do with Glocks today.

I have a Nylon 66, and like and respect the design. It just works and works, far more accurately than many expect. I have an accuracy tweak, a small unobtrusive set screw threaded into the top front of the forearm, adjusted to bear lightly on the barrel. You can eliminate all barrel play, and the nylon is very stable. Remington should have kept refining their concept, in my opinion.
