When I was a kid, and the Nylon 66 was relatively new, I had a Cooey Model 60 bolt action repeater. I only remember seeing the brown model of Nylon 66 among my friends.
The kids with a Nylon 66 were always out of ammo, and seemed to think that I should share with them.
That wasn't ever going to happen.
The Cooey .22 is long gone, but I was a happy kid with a $5 gun, bought from a mechanic who worked for my Dad.
