Nylon 66(Ivory) Redux
Well, I picked up the gun. It turns out the ivory is paint. The good news is it's a Nylon 76, not a 66. The reason it was disassembled was a cracked stock. Does anyone know any way to repair a Zytel stock? The other options are: replace the stock, or part out the gun and sell the parts. Anyone know of a "76 stock for sale? e-gun parts lists it ,but they are out of stock at this time.

Stocks can be hard to find for all the nylon series rifles. I see nylon 66 stocks on ebay ocassional, might keep an eye there.
I have never had to fix a cracked one, so I can't offer any help there. Where is it cracked, and how bad is it. I seem to recall reading somewhere about using a special glue that worked ok. Hopefully someone that has tried to fix one will be able to provide more help.0 -
Snowtigger,
I have a couple of 76's available, also a stripped out mohawk brown stock... I might even be able to take your diassembled one with the cracked stock for a trade-in.. contact me off forum.. snake803@juno.com ...0 -
I bought the stock for my 76 last year at http://www.westerngunparts.com/default.htm. It wasn't all that pricey as I recall and was readily available. We did fix one cracked stock on a 66 a couple weeks ago just with 2 part expoxy...worked well. The stock swap isn't all that hard, just take your time.

I thought Remington warrantied them for life against cracking.....
....I never met a gun I didn't like!0
