Dint you see that temps in AK (Fairbanks) were about 30 deg higher than Chicago recently?

WARNING Plastic stocks shatter in the Alazka kold.

Better ship it to me for exercise and safe storage.

The Remington Model 76 was the lever action version, if I remember correctly they were only made for a few years.

Not sure where Chicago is.

Yes I do know we will be looking at -20-25 with a wind chill that could possibly freeze a politicians mouth tonight here in Chiraq.

B H Os home town.

It's almost 40 here. Hardly cold nor worth the effort to send it down thataway!

It is funny, back when them things were plentiful and cheap, I wouldn't even look at one at any price, now I would kind of like to have one, and sure don't need another 22.
I can see where they would make a great trapping gun.

I bought one here a few months back for about USD80.00 complete with a Weaver 2.5 scope. Near got whiplash getting my wallet out. I would have paid that just for the scope. I sure is a neat little rifle.

I do not know about you but the females in your family will have to draw straws to see who uses it first.

With the young ones, only one in the tube at a time just to be safe.

Nice thought Bill, but I bet it's colder here in the Mid-West than in Alaska.

Learn something new every day. When I was about 13-14, my best friend had a gun called the 'Nylon 66', it was a tube fed semi-auto, with a streamlined black plastic stock with a white diamond in the forearm. I thought it a pretty gun. We had us a contest as to who could hit the tin can at 75yds most often. I had a 10rd mag in my Targeteer, and he just put in 10 rounds in his '66. when the smoke cleared, I had put one more shot through my tin can then he did. His was faster, mine was better. That Targeteer was a really accurate gun.

I believe the one I have (brown stock w/ white diamonds and a 10 rd magazine feed rather than tube feed) is actually marked "Mohawk 10C" but I've been told it's still a Rem.66. Anybody know if that's true?
Oh yeah... I've still got my 1974 or 5 (don't remember exactly) receipt for 49.95 from Kmart!

[Menner]

I've got a black and chrome one that was my Grandfathers and I don't know about the not that accurate I saw in a post I put a 4x scope on it and many a squirrel hit the pot because of that little semi action.

It is a nostalgia thing.

I laughed a big belly laugh when I saw one at the local GS for $269 Have one at the lake my uncle left us Brown stock white diamond blk forend cap coloring. What color they made the plastic should matter.???

Plinker for kids is all it is, but with RF ammo going silly might cash it in and buy a nice 22 Hornet

Just cause they ask high prices does not mean tthey sell. He probally took most of them home.

At those prices all he has to sell is one...

That sounds like mine, but it says "77" on it. I was told the 66s are tube feed, the ones with a magazine are later models. I don't know that it's a fact. Anyone know either way?

According to this, I have a M-77.;

http://www.chuckhawks.com/rem_nylon_rifles.htm

No model # on the rifle itself, the magazine has a 77 on it. Chuck Hawks says they were only in production for 2 years as the nylon 77. But then they were re-designated the Mohawk 10-C. Somewhere in my foggy memory, I remember buying it as a Mohawk.

The rear sight is missing, so I might hang a cheap 22 scope on it, walk it around the next gunshow.

I have one of the apache black/chrome guns. Had it for decades. Picked up a brown one a couple years ago at a garage sale for $100. It shoots better than some of my centerfire guns, but not as well as my Marlin 39a

[xs11jack]

I bought mine in Gasp, Calicommy in the early 80s. Got it at K-mart for $80 new. It is a 77 with a green stock and 10 round mag. I love it, and it is very accurate, I use it a lot to teach kids to shoot. They like the light weight and the funny colored stock.
