Home Forums Lever Action Central Rimfire Levers Remington Nylon 76 stock question

I have a Nylon 76 that has lots and lots of miles on it. Somewhere along the way, the bottom 'rail' on one side of the receiver broke. Has anyone ever found a fix for Nylon Remington stocks, in particular, the 76? Remington only answered that they have no parts for this rifle. I rarely use it due to the break but don't want to part with it. I got my 76 in about 1964 and it has earned it's place in the safe. Since the stock is the receiver, it does present a predicament about replacement, but only if I can find a new stock. While I'll expect an answer from an expert, I'll cheerfully accept answers from duffers like myself.

There is a yahoo nylon rifle group. That would probably be the best place to ask this question. Hope this helps.

Actually, the receiver "cover" is the serial numbered component, not the nylon "frame". I think that a common Nylon 66 "frame" could be modified to work on a Nylon 76. That said, all of the Nylon series rifles are a PITA to work on. I have had a couple of Nylon 76 rifles and none of them worked particularly well. I found that odd, as the typical Nylon 66 will function and fire reliably, even if it is a rusty barn gun.

what about some "bondo" or "JB Weld" ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
