I am trying to find out some info on my Remington Nylon 66.
I can't seem to find the serial number. Call me stupid.

Just in front of the sight it says:
"PAT. PEND.
Remington
22 L.R ONLY
EN 34"

On the back of the stock it says:
"REMINGTON ARMS
CO. INC.
ILION, NY."

The bottom circular part of the stock says:
"Remington
Nylon
66"

I know hundreds of thousands of these were produced for 30 years, but please
help me find the serial number for mine.

Thx

Simplest solution would be to contact the factory.

It should be on the stamped metal cover (receiver). Left hand side.

Hello,
I have an Mohawk Brown Nylon 66,circa 1972-73.The serial number on mine is
located on the left hand side of the receiver.Perhaps yours has worn off.

I have a 1963 production Apache Black model & it was dated by Remington
using the S/N on the left side of the receiver. However - if there is no
number there the receiver cover was probably replaced due to rust or
corrosion because it is the natural balance point for one-handed carry. I
couldn't tell you how many I've seen rusted in that location.

There are several, good, on-line resources for tracing your 66.
If there is no # stamped into the metal receiver cover, you may find somethin on the
underside of the barrel (requires field stripping=EZ)
There may be some Dates codes stamped into the barrel, on both sides of the rear sight mount.
FYI- Remington (and others) did not put serial #s on guns until 1967, in compliance with the
Gun Control Act of 1968.
