The black butt plate was intact, and carried the Remington name. We thought the nylon stock could most likely be polished and renewed to some extent, maybe with good car polish or something similar, to remove a few of the scratches and provide some protection. We chose to test it as it was, no scope.Īs noted, the metalwork had slight pits from damp storage, but about 85-90% of its original bluing remained. It had grooves on the receiver for 22 scopes, and it also had one of the finest and simplest rear sights we’ve seen, fully adjustable and providing an excellent sight picture. The rifle had apparently never been fitted with a scope. The stock had a few scratches, but was sound. Not much can be done, short of spot rebluing to hide the damage, total rebluing (which could detract from its collector value), or leaving it strictly alone. A similar thing happened to an old Marlin belonging to one of our staff and it happened quickly. This one had suffered a misfortune in storage, having got enough humidity on the metal to produce spotting on the bluing. Made only from 1962 to 1964, the Remington Nylon 12 bolt action is a rare bird. Remington Nylon 12 22 S, L, & LR, about $350 Are these old rifles worth looking into? Let’s see what we found. The report of CB’s out of the long-barreled Winchester was just a click. The Winchester’s longer barrel made lots less noise with Shorts and especially the CB caps than the Remington.
Both rifles fed Long Rifles, Longs, Shorts and also CB caps perfectly. Both rifles were supposed to handle Shorts and Longs too, so we also tried a few of them. We tested with three types of ammo, Wolf, CCI Velocitor, and Blazer, all in Long Rifle persuasion. Here’s an excerpt of that report, used with permission:įor this test of vintage bolt-action 22 rifles, we had the loan of two old-timers, a Remington Nylon 12 and a Winchester Model 69A. Gun Tests magazine tested two vintage bolt-action 22 rifles, the Remington Nylon 12 and a Winchester Model 69A, in the February 2013 issue.
