Remington Nylon 11

About the Remington Nylon 11

The Remington Nylon 11 is an American bolt-action, magazine-fed .22 Long Rifle sporting rifle produced from 1962 to 1964. Part of Remington's pioneering Nylon series, it paired a one-piece Zytel nylon stock with a conventional steel receiver and a detachable box magazine, offered in six- and ten-round capacities. Built as an economy plinking and small-game rifle alongside the tube-fed Nylon 12, it was produced in far smaller numbers than the famous semi-automatic Nylon 66 and was quietly dropped after only three years.

Introduced after the runaway success of the semi-automatic Nylon 66, the bolt-action Nylon 11 and its tube-fed sibling the Nylon 12 were Remington's attempt to extend the space-age synthetic-stock concept across a full budget rimfire lineup. Buyers, however, largely preferred either the cheaper wood-stocked 581/582 rifles or the self-loading Nylon 66, so the bolt-action Nylons sold poorly and vanished within three years, leaving them among the rarest members of the Nylon family.
