This was the Nylon 66 MB model, by far the most popular of any of the Remington Nylon rifles with over 721,000 sold in. The standard stock color was a "Mohawk Brown," a walnut brown with black streaks that vaguely resembled wood grain. Both the pistol grip and forearm wore molded-in checkering in a conventional point pattern and there were white diamond inlays in the center of the checkering pattern on both sides of the forearm that concealed another reinforcing bolt and nut. The buttplate was also black plastic and it was set off by a white line spacer, as were the forend tip and grip cap. It was a sleek stock with very slender and attractive lines, a fluted comb, long and graceful forearm with a black plastic schnable tip and a curved pistol grip with a black cap.
Its structural nylon stock was injection molded in two halves that were mated together.
Nylon 66 stock crack manual#
(The Owners Manual advised not to lubricate the action with gun oil.) A slipover blued sheet steel cover was used to give the receiver a more normal appearance and also concealed a pair of stock reinforcing machine screws and nuts. The receiver of this rifle was actually nylon, with the bolt running on "self lubricating" nylon rails. This was a blowback operated, tubular magazine fed semi-automatic rifle chambered for the.
Nylon 66 stock crack series#
Like the other Nylon series rifles to follow, it was a hunting and plinking rifle. Produced until 1991, it became the most popular Remington.
The first, most successful and best known of the series was the Nylon 66 autoloader, introduced in 1959. Also, just like today, they carefully avoided all mention of the fact that these molded synthetic stocks were excessively flexible and resulted in a rifle that was too light, so that although intrinsic accuracy was good, practical accuracy in the field suffered. Just as with today's synthetic stocked rifles, the Remington Nylon series rifles were advertised as having lightweight, waterproof, essentially unbreakable stocks that would not warp, crack, chip, fade, or peel for the life of the rifle. (Remington Arms was then owned by DuPont.) The basic DuPont Nylon 66 polymer leant its name to the rifle. The Remington nylon stocks were made of a DuPont Nylon 66 series plastic called structural Zytel-101 that Dupont developed specifically for these rifles. Unlike those earlier Savage/Stevens guns, the Remington Nylon series of rifles used synthetic (plastic) injection molded stocks by choice, and the promotional advertising for these arms touted the advantages of their synthetic stocks. These were, except for some civilian rifles and shotguns built by Savage Arms during WW II when stock wood was in short supply, the first successful synthetic stocked sporting rifles from a major manufacturer.
