My Apache 66 has code 'WU' for Aug/1971. Directly underneath the letters is the number '55'. Can anyone tell me what the '55' indicates?

I recently saw two black apache nylon 66 in gun shows in Texas. Both had price tags of $500 in average condition. I always look for them at gun shows and they are pretty hard to find. I just got my black apache back from the gunsmith after sitting for 30 years and needing to replace a couple of lost parts. Spent $250 at the gunsmith. Still shoots so smooth and accurate.

I have a Seneca Green Nylon 66 manufactured in May 1960 (no serial number). Beneath the receiver cover I have a 5 digit number stamped in red ink that reads 36559. Anyone tell me what this means? Thanks ahead of time. nostreborelyk@live.com

I really like what you have done with your 795. I just recently purchased one and am looking to set it up very similar to yours. Thanks for the great post!

I will never sell my nylon 66. It is hands down the best .22 I have ever used. Anyone know the best way to remove minor scuffs on the stock. I want to give it to my boy when he's old enough and I want to clean it up a bit.

The bolt in my nylon 66 is not as clean as I would like even after brushing and rubbing down with a rag. Is there any reason the bolt could not be soaked in something like gas or a degreaser and then dried and oiled down? Also, after disassembling and cleaning, I understand the mechanisms should not be oiled which is against my normal thinking to use a drop of oil.
Thanks

Hi...Mine has WJ68 stamped on the barrel by the rear sight...however, no serial number under the barrel just behind the front sight. Any ideas?

As of summer 2012, I have found two Apache 66 rifles identical to mine in Pensacola area pawn shops, and neither will sell theirs for any price. Just like me. Mine is a 1972, serial 2215591 and has given me over 40 years of good use, and still functions flawlessly after maybe 25,000 rounds. And I'm about to disassemble it for the first time for a good cleaning. I'll recommend these guns as the most fun shooters you can buy, if you can find anybody who'll part with one!

I reviewed the videos several times when I dis-assembled my Dad's Nylon C10...it needed some serious cleaning. the safety was very hard to "work". The explanations you provide are great. Even a layman like me got the pieces back together. The rifle appears to function well now. Thanks!

I am looking for a gunsmith in the Tulsa, Ok area that can take down my Nylon 66 and give it a good cleaning and see if any parts need to be replaced. It has not been used in 20yrs.

If anybody has a recommendation please email me at hk94us@yahoo.com

Hi guys, I have had a nylon 10 for years and never payed much attention to it. It is 19" stainless or chrome barrel, the person I got it from said it was 22magnum, which it shoots just fine. Reason I'm writing is there is none I have seen in stainless or 22mag. Should I be using 22lr? The left of the barrel says PJ 58 22 . No other markings. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the instructions...I will be doing a basic field strip of a Rem Nylon 66 soon. It's probably never been cleaned. Would I be safe to use a quick evaporating electronic parts cleaner to blow out the powder residue on the internal parts? This is a fast drying parts cleaner and I will test it first on the nylon to make sure it down't do any damage. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!

Mac 66, I purchased a Nylon 11 today and the complete rear
sight is missing. Would you have any where I might find one? Perhaps
from another collectors spare parts? I have checked the usual parts sites and come up empty. Any help will be greatly appreciated. j4ster@roadrunner.com

I have a D P the left side of the barrel. Just behind that are the numbers 86. Any thoughts on those numbers and what they are for? (I'm speaking of a Nylon 66) Brown Hunter diamond insert.
