A million Remington Nylon 66 .22 long rifles were sold, starting from 1959 until the mid-60s, but this one -- a legendary firearm -- is mine. It's got synthetic parts not of plastic but of nylon -- makes some of the bearings near greaseless. And it's very, very light. It's semi-automatic and holds 12 shells. "Revolutionary" in its time. What's it for? On the Divine property it's for target practice. Yowza. It has no scope, but what a great sight it has. Was shootin' out the spaces in "6" and "8" on old license plate.

Just checked your blog--and, goodness! You did it, country lady, got yourself a gun! And you can shoot the dang thing, too! I just today created a blog name so I could comment on blogs--it's a line from Lewis Carroll's "Lobster Quadrille"--but you will know me as your writer friend who came to walk around and set off firecrackers (my first time at that since I was 12, I think). Sounds like you are doing well out there in the woods-
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
