Well, I can and have taken a nylon 66 apart and put it back together. Anybody who can do that and still consider it a good rifle ain't too bright. Sure they're tough and go bang on a very regular basis but NOTHING about the design is conducive to good accuracy. NOTHING. Let's see, affix the barrel to a very flexible plastic stock, then affix the rear sight/scope to a stamped sheet steel receiver cover that's not connected to the barrel at all but instead held to the flexible plastic stock with a couple of through screws that allow a bit of slop/shifting between the flexible stock and the reciver cover. Pure design genius !
I own one and I like it. I use the stock iron sights. I used electrical tape to secure the barrel in the stock - otherwise it was minute of old Chevy accuracy - wise.
I learned to lubricate it with a soft pencil - never use oil.
