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.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.
BLACKPOWDERX! I love it!!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.
WikiAnswers - Approximately when was a Remington Nylon 66 with a serial number of 2309580 built
You can also find them in "The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly" Part three: rimfire rifles. It's in the first edition and should be in any revisions.I'd be really impressed if there were assembly/disassembly instructions.
...July 1968...don't see any serial numbers.
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!![]()
