I bought an Apache back in the early eighties when my boys were just getting old enough to shoot. Between the three of us we have shot a zillion rounds thru the thing. Even though we have several other 22's to choose from, it's the first rifle we grab when heading to the river for some serious plinking. I love it

and will never sell it

I hear ya, the original Nylon 66 I got from my dad, man the rounds that thing went trough...it would be absolutly impossible to even think of how many thousand rounds went trough it...

You'd think the rifling would be totally worn out!

I bought mine NIB in 1975 its the Apachie Black with the chrome BBL It's easy to take apart to field clean it & that's as far as anyone should ever take one apart, I bought some new replacement parts for my Nylon 66 from Numrick arms as they carry new parts for most of the Nylon 66 model guns, so check them out if you are in need for some replacement 66 parts, I have shot a few hundred Woodchucks with my 66 using either CCI Stinger or Rem Yellow Jacket's out to apx 100 yds a good solid body or head shot will put them down with one shot,I have taken Bunnies with this gun & ammo also It's a gun that won't quit & something to hand down to the grand kids, etc.
