Finally found one... 1959 Nylon 66 in Seneca Green

[Cinaet]

I bought it new from TG&Y Co. Does anyone remember that Company????

You betcha.

those are really cool. i've wanted one for a long time and will be adding one in the near future. had one of the black and chrome ones lined up but the guy backed out. anyone see the guy at the shows that had 40-50 nylon 66's? he has a few that are nearing $1000!

There's a model 76 lever that's kind of beat up on GunBroker that's at $405 with 5 bids and 3 days to go. I didn't know they were in that high of demand. I wish I'd bought several hundred of them back in the day!

I found out that you do not bother scoping a nylon 66. I bought a brown one in approx 1972 or '73 and tried to scope it. Long story short, it did not work. I have shot it ever since with the existing sights. Still shoots great. I bought it new from TG&Y Co. Does anyone remember that Company????

Yep, my Dad many years ago used to refer to TG&Y as Toys,Games, and Yo-Yos....

I bought a Walther PP in .32 Auto from them back around 1982 or so.... Still have it. Great shooting little pistol..

Congrats on your find, nice one.
Yes Sir I'm kind of a 66 junky, here's my shooters. Everyone that shoots one of these loves them.

Nice collection!

Yes, I love mine. I have had it for 30+ yrs and it is the handiest rifle I have.

I have a brown Nylon 66 that I bought new. Most accurate gun I own or have ever shot!

Very cool! I remember the 66s on the racks at Otasco back in the day.

Bought a used one from Shamburg's in Clinton about 1969. I have no idea what happened to it. Wish I did when I see the prices they want at gunshows.
