Green looks brown and the brown looks more red IMO but hey, they made it, they can call it whatever they want.

I agree, brown n red

I used to have a green one, traded it at the gunshow at the Fairgrounds for my winchester 94 30-30
I think I got the better deal. Although I did love that gun, just wasnt a fan of the plastic stock.

blast from the past ... still have the old green 66
ended up not shooting it much .. it's been mostly sitting
that's what happens when one gets in collector mode and end up with multiple Nylon 66's

I actually worked at the tg&y auto on 44th n high...early 80s. I acquired one of the
chrome Black ones on here a few years back.... when i chased down the year, it was a '66 nylon 66. I thought that was kinda neat.

Had a friend with one, very fine rifle.

My folks had an Otasco store in the 70's & 80's. They sold the snot outa the Nylon 66's! Don't remember any green ones, but lots of browns and blacks.

the greens aka another shade of brown were only sold 1959 and 1960
really a collector item ..

Regrettably no. However, I do have a Marlin Model 60 that still has the factory hang tags attached. Made in 1978, if I remember correctly.
