Nylon66

I've got two, black and a brown, the reason they never cleaned the guns in the ads shooting all those blocks is,, they are a ##### to put back together again!!! I took my first apart cause it was REALLY gungy, looking for assembly assistance I found numerous sites with warnings "DO NOT..EVER take it apart!!!":runaway:
 
Is the 10C the same rifle just with a DM? Also is there a way to clean the nylon slides without taking it apart? Like a degreaser that has no solvents in it?

Great rifle. Bought new in the early 1960's by my Dad, now it's mine. :)
 
that thing's NAKED- you need one of the bushenll scopes from the same period- either the 4x or the 3x7- the one with the funny clamp on mount that NOBODY can find the allen wrench for- i cheated, used a torx to loosen it, then dremeled a solt in the screws
 
time to ressurect an oldie post:)

i just recieved my new to me remington nylon 66 mohawk brown and am trying to figure out that date system from the first page of posts, but am stuck or stupid, or a combination of both.

my barrel is labelled from left to right, with right ending up closest to the action : J P R

any idea's?

thanks

Would the black one be the Rem Blackhawk?

I am looking for a stock as I have a sentimental Nylon 66 but it's stock is cracked and cannot find any suppliers. If anyone knows any information for this, PM me please!!!

Do you have a serial # on the underside of the barrel, just back from the muzzle? (n= pre 67, yes= post 67)

There was a black with white trim , I believe was called the apache model.

Sometime after Remy stopped making them , a Brazilian outfit bought the production line and started making them again. My son has one of these south american guns...in black....:)
 
Great sites Sidney, I need to look up a manual to take my nylon apart.
I have a nylon 66 sitting in the back of the closet, picked it up of a friend who had no use for it. Almost cried... down the road someone butchered it !!! cut off, with I don't know what, the nylon that sits over the barrel. Now the rifle looks like a piece of S#@*&?, shoots well but looks awful. Many scratches on it like it travelled loose amongst tools in the back of a pick up truck over a dirt road.

Oh well another project when I get to it...
 
probably tried to "improve" the cooling- had no idea was to what he was doing, and those barrels used to get awful hot after 14 rounds of quick semi-auto fire- or at last hot to the touch- the first tube wouldn't do it, but after about 4 or 5 tubes- didn't realize that the design of the stock is the basis for the whole rifle- or maybe tried to do something stupid like clamp an ler scope to the barrel, as that tin cover is deceptively weak when it's off the gun- as for the scratches, that was the fate of many nylon 66s, and remmy was at least partially to blame with it - it was advertised as a "gun you couldn't hurt" and rightfully so, but scratch?- the manual is available on the net--
i just re-read your comment and TRUST ME, YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE ONE OF THESE APART- take it TO A GUNSMITH AFTER YOU HAVE AQUIRED THE NEW STOCK- ONE THAT'S QUALIFIED IN NYLON 66- while the owners manual shows where all the pieces go, there are TRICKS that make the gun run right and stuff that you can only discern by looking at a WORKING nylon 66-
