![]() He said he was getting old and didn't want to burden his wife with a bunch of guns when he left the earth. Then, I was approached by an older gentleman at my club range. I figured I would just keep shooting my old 10-22 Deluxe Sporter or my Belgium Browning SA-22 because I wasn't gonna pay too much for another 66. WRONG! They became "Collector items" and the price went thru the roof! I wasn't looking to sell, but they were good friends and I figured I could always buy another. A good friend asked me to sell it to him because his wife (injured in a car crash) could not shoot anything else and they were moving to SW Texas. I traded a used pocket knife for my first Nylon 66 many, MANY moons ago-rifle was very well used, but functioned 100%-taught many folks to shoot with this rifle. I already have a Nylon 66 I purchased a few years ago in Apache black and I shoot that when I want a reminder of my childhood. So on my next trip to IL I will transfer it to him. I called my son to tell him and it turns out he shot it a few times when his grandfather took him shooting. I took it home and entered it into my bound book and will go onto CFARS and do the transfer that way. The barrel code dates it to January 1960 which made things easy for me as I have my FFL03 and COE. She hates guns and wanted it out of her house. My FIL had set up a living trust so that everything goes to his wife upon his death, of course unless she had already passed. I had never seen one before.Ī friend of the family is an attorney and handling the legal stuff. I know the picture is not great but I discovered this is the rare Seneca green version. This is what I learned to shoot with and spent many hours plinking and killing all sorts of cans with. We were going through the closet in the hallway that he stored many things in. Today my wife and I were helping her mother taking care of things after the passing of my wife's father a few days ago. ![]()
