Nylon 66 ?????
I have a Remington Nylon 66 auto, tube fed from stock. When the tube is full and I open the bolt to chamber the first round, one round goes into the chamber and the others behind it come out causing a jam. I have taken it apart but can't see anything missing or broken. Any ideas?????

Most likely a problem with the assembly of the cartridge stop and/or cartridge stop spring. 0 -
If you are using anything shorter than LongRifle cartridges, that will happen. If it happens with longrifles, then it is likely a mechanical problem. 0 -
Don't have any help for you, but just a sidenote I've learned from collecting these fine rifles. They are difficult to work on. One Gunsmith I've talked to said they were the final exam in his Gunsmith class. He also went on to say they he won't even accept them in his shop. Good luck, and let us know what you find out with the jamming problem. BTW, what color variation do you have?
Rinkydink brings up a good point, these w/ the tube fed in the butt are long rifle only.

Sounds to me like the little lips that lie in front of the tube that holds the bullets are gapped a little large to hold back the rest of the rounds, or you could be using shorts.
Did this ever happen to you before?
When you say that the tube is full, are you loading the tube, or counting out 15 and dropping them in the hole in the buttplate?
If you just stuff a bunch in there; you may be overloading the spring in the tube, which then barfs bullets into the action.
Try it with just five-that should show if it's the lips or the spring; just cycle them through by hand, and see if it happens again-they should pop smartly into place between the feed lips, but not past them.

Try this and let me know if it works for you. Load the gun full. Place the tube about half way in and work the bolt to load the first round. Push the tube the rest of the way in and lock it down. The first round is thus chambered without the full pressure from the spring in the rod and the rest should fire with no jams.
Hope this helps.0 -
I had the same problem with my nylon 66 tube fed. I was using stingers. When my gun was made stingers were not invented yet. They are a little longer, thus placing more pressure on the cartridges; causing them to double or tripple feed. Try loading 10 only if you are using stingers. Or try a shorter round, one that was availiable when your gun was manufactured.
Also my gunsmith was able to make an adjustment to the cartrige stop to solve this problem.
My advice: Dont take the gun apart yourself! My gunsmith had to make a tool to get it back together, and no, he would not sell it to me.

I've dis- and re-assembled several of my friends' guns as well as my own nylons and Brazilian copies, and I've never needed a "tool" to accomplish the task. He might have needed a small piece of wire to hold down the spring-loaded thingie under the bolt while sliding the barrel back in is all.

If you ever disassemble a Nylon 66 and remove the barrel, make certain it is unloaded, COCKED, and safety in ON position. If not you can forget about getting it together again easily. I learned the hard way.

[;)]I've had mine completely apart a couple of times and yes I got it back together again. Not really that hard to do. If you Gunsmith can't do it get another gunsmith.
Mine only holds 13rds.
