stock for Remington Nylon 66, Model 10C

Uggghhh... Sorry to hear that Doc. The stock and receiver on the Nylon 66 is all one piece. There is no replacing just the stock.
Best suggestion would be to try an epoxy or a fiberglass wrap repair.

Stateside you can find a 66 for about $150 for user grade. The Senica Green and Apache Black Nylon rifles can reach close to $1000 depending on the model and condition.

Best of luck to your friend.

EDIT: He'd be better off replacing the rifle as opposed to replacing the stock/receiver. The internals on that rifle are a complicated mess of springs, pins, clips, and assorted parts that are not for the faint of heart. Many a 66 have arrived at the gunsmiths as a stock and a bag of parts with a look of embarrassment on the owners face.

Man, I love the Nylon 66. Extreme light weight, reliability and accuracy. Too bad they don't make em anymore.

Thanks Chris, but I don't think he would have any problem that way.
This is what he needs (the whole thing) (not his picture)

You may be right about replacing the rifle but I think there's some sentimental value attached.

That's a hard stock to break. The old ads showed vehicles running over them and such. They had to show that the stock was durable. How on earth did he break it?
 
Gun parts corp. out of stock. changes daily

Ebay has one now. Way too $$$$

GunBroker.com none listed. also changes daily
 
Thanks guys, keep them coming.

I don't know the details, but he was up north snaring rabbits and he fell. Broke the stock, right in front of the receiver and sprained his ankle. I guess it could have been a lot worse.

The 10C is a clip fed, so you may be able to epoxy the broken stock, doesn't need the integrity of the tube-fed 66s. To break it IN FRONT of the receiver, you'd be up under the barrel and I think...that's just empty space...no internals up there.

was off-line when I went to verify, but is collectors group with lots of resources.

I got an email addy for the founder of YahooNylon66, transferred to the forum I mentioned. Email if you want it. He had a huge collection at one time, may be able to help.

Don't forget the stock of a Nylon 66 is also a mechanical part of the rifle and a number of crazy parts fit into odd cavities of the stock. I'm a gunsmith and had a customer who went out with wife and kid to shoot his 66. It kept jamming on him and the guy got mad. It had rained recently and there was a large mud puddle near by. He stuffed the rifle barrel first into the mud and used a big rock to drive it down out of sight before he drove home. I guess his wife raised hell with him and he also cooled off some so, a few days later, he drove back to that mudpuddle in the desert. The hot NM sun had done its thing and he wound up digging up an 'adobe fence post' with his Nylon 66 in the middle of it. He took it home and used his garden hose and lots of chipping to get off the dried mud. Then he took that damned rifle apart to the very last screw, spring, pin, and what have you, couldn't get it back together, and brought it to me in a sack. Any gunsmith will recognize this situation. Anyway, there I was with a Nylon 66 in pieces and a few of them missing. Good ol' Gun Parts Corp here we come and I ordered the missing stuff. Took me a whole damned day to put the @@#$%!! rifle back together and get it to function. I charged accordingly and when the guy picked up the rifle, I told him I would take him apart if he did such a stunt again. The 66 has, BTW, become a collector's item and one in good condition brings several hundred bucks these days.

Looks right to me Doc, but the reason I mentioned a new rifle is because I'm not sure about the rifle laws in Canada. Some of the later Model 66's had a serial number stamped on the metal receiver cover and printed on the stock/receiver in yellow (IIRC). Since that stock is considered a receiver, it may or may not be a "new rifle" in Canada. He'd need to check the laws.

If his rifle is pre-1968 it probably doesn't have one. As of 1/1/69, .22 rifles were required to have serial numbers.

I'm just concerned that Canada would frown upon having a receiver shipped in.

HTH,
Chris
 
I was at Elwood Epps recently looking for a Butler Creek folding stock for my 10/22. They had a fair number of factory and aftermarket stocks in stock, it wouldn't hurt to give them a call. I did see Remington stocks but not sure for what models. They also have a lot of older parts, etc. They are in Orillia, Ontario, phone number 705-689-5333.
 
Thanks everybody,

I have passed all the information along to him and hopefully he connects.

Rob, that would be great if Epps has one. I have stopped in there many times over the years, on the way to Black River, Anson Creek, Cinder Lake, etc.
BTW, I heard some time ago that the township is charging people to camp at Cinder Lake. Do you know anything about this?

Doc
 
Doc?

Let us know what happens, will you?

Like to see the damage to the 10C stock, as well, if possible.

I had the same rifle years ago.

Mohawk 10C

Remington touted this stock as "unbreakable" back in the day.

I was a heartbroken 16 year old when it broke. It fell off the shooting bench and broke at the back of the action.

Unbreakable my A$$
 
I guess I'd have to hold it and examine it, but I'd try and fix it.


But..hell...I'd try and fix anything. :(


Hope he has good luck. Remind him that it almost takes a pro to put the guts back together when he makes the change to a new stock.

Those are great guns! I own a brown stock/blued one. Had it since i was 12 and my uncle had it since he was about the same age! I would hate to work on it tho. Seems rather complicated. Good luck replacing the stock. I hope you can as they are awesome little 22's.
