I never wanted a Nylon 66, but they were quite popular in their day. Remington sold thousands of them. They had kind of a space age look, which appealed to some. Some others liked the Ruger 10/22 and the Marlin M1, which looked like M1 carbines, and some preferred the Marlin 39 for its Western look. Now a lot of people buy .22s that look like ARs. As the postman said, "To each his zone."

None of this affects shooting. We don't see the butt while shooting, any more than we see the whitewall tires while driving.

Carl, I was just thinking about how I was attracted to that Nylon 66 in my youth and I suppose if I were young now I'd most likely be clamoring for black guns and firepower. Glad it didn't work out that way.
