I've got a K-Mart Special. 
My first firearm that was truly mine. I had the cash, but I had to take Mom with me to fill out the paperwork. Great little rifle. If anyone has an extra magazine or two laying around, I'd likely buy it from ya.

Thanks for all the hard work and a great post John. Very timely for me as I just got a brown one out of layaway today. I plan on spending the day with it tomorrow.
Last night I saw your post and went over the data and values. Your data came in very handy this afternoon while picking this one up. I asked the owner of the shop if he had any other 66's and he said that he had a green one in back in his collection. Turned out to be one of the K Mart clip fed ones in mint condition. Now that ones in layaway.
Sorry for the thumbnail photo, I still can't figure out why my Photobucket only does these.

Thanks for the really cool post!
The date code numbers are in front of the rear sight on the left side of the barrel. The code "BG" would indicate manufacture in January, 1960. The "6" is an inspector mark.
Thanks again for the most excellent post and information!

Paladin, Thanks for your hard work and effort. I have a question: On a green Apache 77 semi-auto with 10 round magazine the only markings on the left side of the barrel forward of the rear sight are "85", with a smaller "PI" or "Pl" under it. The cap on the bottom of the stock grip says "Remington Apache 77". According to your chart, it would have been made between 1987 and 1989, but the stamping codes don't jibe. Any idea when it was actually made? The serial # is A2400xxx. Thanks.

Answer to Nylon 66 production dates
Actually, the key to manufacture date on your Remington Nylon 66 is not the serial number, but a stamping on the barrel. There will be two letters, the first being the month, and the second being the year. Here's a quick rundown.
B=Jan L=Feb A=Mar C=Apr K=May P=Jun O=Jul W=Aug D=Sep E=Oct R=Nov X=Dec As you will note, this forms the acronym BLACKPOWDERX, which is easy to remember.
The year codes are E-1958,F-1959,G-1960,H-1961,J-1962,K-1963,L-1964,M-1965,N-1966,P-1967,R-1968, S-1969,T-1970,U-1971,W-1972,X-1973,Y-1974,Z-1975,O-1977,Q-1978,V-1979,A-1980,B-1981,C-1982,D-1983, E-1984,F-1985,G-1986,H-1987,I-1988,J-1989,K-1990. Note that there are duplicates. Early guns had no serial number. Mid-production guns had no-prefix serial numbers. Later production guns had A-prefix serial numbers. Light or partial stampings can be confusing. View carefully with a magnifier. The two letters are right in front of the rear sight along the barrel on the left side of the barrel.

BLACKPOWDERX! I love it!!
So PI would be June 1988, which coincides with Paladin's production dates for this model (1987-1989). Cool. Thanks Lee and Paladin.
I have a Apache Black and a Mohawk Brown, both without serial numbers. I absolutely love to shoot these rifles. I do not have a scope on them and I can make a ragged hole every time. The first rifle I ever shot was a Nylon 66, it was on my Uncle's farm, he still has the farm and the Nylon.
Rust!
In looking carefully to determine the date of manufacture, to my horror I discovered rust along the top of the receiver, in the crease along the side of the topstrap.
Can anyone give a rust idiot the how-to on how to get it off and keep it from coming back?
What do I get and how do I use it? Thanks!

Sip, It might be that your rifle has a serial number on the barrel, underneath the front sight. It was stamped in this location only for a couple of years, making it more of a collector's item. You might want to check it out!

Everytime I look at this photo it appears that the rifle on the bench is floating in midair. I realize it's the shooter's shadow next to it that gives the appearance, but it is just so cool.Is that a Model 17 on the bench? I used to have one just like that!

Thanks for posting the info, Paladin. I have an Apache Black 66 and a Mohawk 10C. I learned from your chart that the 5 round magazine I have in my 10C is for a 77. I guess it was replaced. Cool little rifles!

The magazines for the 77, the 10C, and the Apache 77 are all interchangeable, whether for 5 or 10 rounds. The 10C is nothing more than the 77, but sold with a 10-round magazine. The "10C" designation means "10 Cartridges!" The 77 didn't sell well with just a 5-round capacity, so they made a 10-round magazine and changed the designation on the grip cap to "10C." It's really the same rifle. Interestingly, the 10C was never a catalog item. It was sold at a deep discount to distributors and hardware stores. A lot of them were made, though!
Hello Im a big fan of these guns I have a remington apache 77 with 6 10 rnd mags always on target never jams I clean it about every 200 rnds put a tactical rifel sling on it looks pretty nice i love it I have a friend that has the nylon 66 tube fed mb hes willn to sell it to me for $200 I purchased mine from a friend for 50$ with out the mags
I have a couple of these guns and they are accurate and fun to shoot. Yet around here, they do not have much worth. I bought one last year for $55 at a pawn shop and have seen maybe four this week as I tour pawn shops looking for the next purchase.
I wish mine shot 22 shorts. It only shoots LR.
