The Remington Nylon Semi Automatics were pretty popular. (Still bring good money)...For the unenlightened (me), can I have some context or background. I have heard of Remington Nylon guns, I just have no basis as to why the "Wows", "Amazing" and "Sweet". I am not disagreeing with the response, just want to be able to appreciate these like the rest of you.
Thanks. This brings more questions now. Why? Why so popular? Was it the looks or were they know for high-quality? If they were so popular, but only made for a few years, Why did they stop making them? What calibers? Were they made for Hunting or Hanging on display?. Sorry for all they Q's, but it is interesting.The Remington Nylon Semi Automatics were pretty popular. (Still bring good money)
The bolt actions were less popular, and pretty collectible now.
I think they were only made from 61-64, and there appears to be 12 possibly more in the pic.
They also had a lever action version that I would imagine is harder to find than the bolt action.

Made 62-64. They made about as many model nylon 11’s and 12’s as they did the brown nylon 76 (lever action). They nylon 10 was about 1/2 as many. The 76 Apache on the other hand is really hard to find. The lever actions are very well known for cracked stocks.The Remington Nylon Semi Automatics were pretty popular. (Still bring good money)

I thought they were all semi-automatics. I've never seen any bolt or lever guns. I think Attic has the market cornered.
One here and there. Hard to find these in mint condition. The rear sight is another issue. A lot of them have the sight missing because to put a scope on the sight had to be removed. A big windage screw rear sight will bring $200. I also have all 3 different lever actions and all the different 66’s.Very nice.
Did you buy these as a lot or pick them up through the years? Do you have any of the semi autos and lever action models also? Do you have one of the smoothbores?
Well done, that's quite the collection.One here and there. Hard to find these in mint condition. The rear sight is another issue.
