My nylon 66 has no serial number, how do I find out what year it was made?
<><><><><>
Rifles and shotguns made prior to 1968 were not required by law to have a serial number. However, on the left side of the barrel, right at the receiver, you may find a 2 or 3 letter code. The Remington Collector Association website has a chart to decode the letters for the month and year that a rifle was made.
1959 to 1989
I can say that the A prefix was added to the serial number in 1977.The last nylon 66 rifles were made in 1987.So your rifle dates from 1977-1987.
Check the date code on barrel ;) There's information on the Remington Society of America, check related links.
about 1978. give or take a year, but no sooner than 1977
No
it looks like in the blue book that the mod.# is nylon 66
There is a video on how to assemble and disassemble a nylon 66 on youtube.com
They month and year can be determined by the barrel code, all the details can be found on the Remington Society of America here: http://remingtonsociety.com/rsa/questions/barrelcodes (will be between 59 and 89)
Remington.
Can't be answered without the serial number.
Purple wasn't a Remington color.
I own a Remington Nylon 66 BD and it's in perfect condition the current price for it is $820.00. It does depend on the condition of the gun and the model of the Remington 66. I have seen the same rifle models go for $610, but they were in fair condition. In 1967-1968 the serial numbers were located in the bottom of the barrel 3" back from the muzzle and should be 19012-473710. The lower serial numbers were made in 1967 and the higher serial numbers where made in 1968. If you not sure which model of Remington Nylon 66 you have check out wikipedia and you should find your answer there or find a local gun expert.
