I have a Remington Nylon 66, and was just now looking it over. Vista Explodida Nylon 66 S Serial Number Is OnlyIt occurred to me that the serial number is only on the receiver cover if thats the correct term- the metal housing that goes over the nylon, one-piece receiver. I havent tried it, but Im fairly sure the rifle would function without the cover in place Just thought that the serial had to be on the receiver per GCA 68 Just curious on others thoughts. Nylon 66SG - Seneca Green, 1959-1962 (dark green stock, blue steel receiverbarrel) 42,500 made Nylon 66AB - Apache Black, 1962-1984 (Black stock, chrome receiver barrel) 221,000 made. Nylon 66BD - Black Diamond 1978-1987 (Black stock, blue 19012-473710. Vista Explodida Nylon 66 S Serial Numbers Were LocatedThese 1967-68 serial numbers were located on the bottom of the barrel about 3 back from the muzzle. Could yours have been made before the GCA of 1968 I am not sure as to the serialization or how it was applied. Ron. Dont know how man were made, but that seems like a high number to me to have been made before 68. Dont know how man were made, but that seems like a high number to me to have been made before 68 Click to expand. Some early Nylon 66s were produced without even having serial numbers at all. Vista Explodida Nylon 66 S Code Stamped OnRemingtons can be dated from a two or three letter code stamped on the barrel, near the rear sight on 66s. If there is no sn on the receiver cover, it is a pre-68 model. By the way, it will probably shoot once without the receiver cover installed. But if it has a SN, it cant legally be removed even if the gun was made prior to 1968. Not familiar enough with the rifle to be of any further help. It has a one piece stock made of Dupont 66 Nylon synthetic material that holds the barrel, bolt, firing and feed mechanisms. The receiver cover fits over the section of the stock that corresponds to the receiver area of a conventional rifle. Ordering a Nylon 66 Receiver Cover Assembly from Numrich Arms Gun Parts Corp requires an FFL gun dealer license. The stripped nylon stock when available is just another part and does not require an FFL. The cartridge guide on the bolt does require the receiver cover in place to assure positive feed, but the gun could fire at least once without the cover. I would not count on repeat shots feeding from the magazine. Hmmm. That suggests a range trip.) UPDT: OK, when you remove the receiver cover, the ejector has nothing to hold it in place. Darn it. It would have been been a kick to try shooting it without the cover (with the cartridge guide flapping in the recoil).
