My parents were divorced when I was five. One of the few things my Dad did with me after the divorce was take me out plinking in the woods.
Actually, I think he did it partially to piss my Mother off because she hated guns, but I had fun.
Anyway, the rifle he had was a Remington Nylon 66 in Mohawk Brown that was made in June of 1975.
Ever since then, I've always wanted a 66 to remind me of those good times I had with my Dad.
I had one that I bought years ago, but the Sheriff's Department got it after I loaned it to a friend and his soon to be ex-wife turned it in to them after a 'domestic disturbance'.
Like a bolt out of the blue, my Dad called me last week and asked me how much I thought his Mossberg 500 combo and the Nylon 66 were worth because one of his buddies at work was wanting to buy them.
I told him that the 66 was worth about $125-$150 or so, but I wanted to talk to him in person before he sold the rifle.
Later on in person, I told him that I wanted the gun for 2 reasons. One is that the Nylon 66 is a better gun than my other .22 rifle (Ruger 10-22), and the other is because of the memories associated with it.
He let me have the gun for $100.
I don't have any kids, but my niece just had a son, and I think he might appreciate the gun once he's old enough for me to take out plinking.
