problem with Remington nylon 66
I have owned this rifle for 30odd years. I have a problem perhaps someone can help with.
When I start to load the rifle the 22 bullets go into the rifle's chamber, instead of stopping like it should. can someone help me with what the problem is? thanks

Most likely, a piece called the Cartridge Stop https://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/77160A.htm
is loose, worn or broken.
I would rather take a whipping than take a Nylon 66 apart. Even the owner's manual says DON'T. I would take it to a gunsmith- I am not adequately proficient in profanity to work on one myself.0 -
I agree part #11 is suspect. Taking a 66 apart isn't as hard as putting it back together. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/Remington-33454/Rifles-37895/Nylon66-39587.htm?results=All 0 -

When my older Son was 14-15, I came home from work one night to find him nearly in tears with his Nylon 66 laid out on the work bench. Took me quite a while to get it back together and he remembers the threats I made to his well being if he EVER took it apart again.0 -

The cartridge stop is the problem and a good gunsmith is the solution. 0 -

When I was 15 years old, I bought a Nylon 66 at a gun show in Dallas, Texas (My father was with me). I took it home and took it apart to clean it. It took me a while to get it back together. I could do it today because I remember how I first did it some 38 years ago, but I recommend that a Nylon 66 NOT be fully disassembled by anyone but a qualified gunsmith.
To partially disassemble a Nylon 66, start by removing the pull handle. Then remove the two bolts holding the cover, and remover the cover. THEN, replace the pull handle before removing the barrel. This will insure that the bolt will not come too far forward. (At least DO NOT pull the trigger when there is nothing to retain the bolt!)
To reassemble, install the barrel before removing the pull handle. Then reinstall the cover, and finally replace the pull handle.
This will allow any cleaning or repairs that a non gunsmith can do.
Hope this helps.0 -
Jim Stark on this board is the man you want, I think he built them all in the first place. 0 -
I just completely disassembled and cleaned a 66 Apache for my son. I always heard never do that, but I had no problem at all. A lot easier than the Remington 511 I recently did. Youtube is a great asset these days, I found one that showed me how to do it and it was really easy. 0 -
The advice given above regarding the cartridge stop sounds correct. I bought a few nylon 66's cheap because the owner took them apart and could not reassemble them into a working firearm. Get the part from Numrich's along with a schematic, it is not a hard part to replace. 0
