Again not to be confused with the Seneca green 66 which is more OD green than the K-Mart gun. The 77's stock has a black diamond and black spacers. The clones are decent rifles as shooters but not collectible or worth what a basic 66 is worth.Īs previously mentioned, Remington did make a run of 10 shot detach mag rifles with green stocks for K-Mart from 87-89 called the Apache 77.
All clones were black stocked, blued steel with a white diamond and white spacers around the pistol grip cap and butt plate.
They imported by at least 4 different companies during the 1980s and 90s as Remington production slowed down. They made over 126,000 10Cs until around 1978.Ĭlones were made in Brazil by CBC which was affiliated with Dupont who owned Remington. They only made about 10,000 before they changed the name to the Mohawk 10C (C for clip) in 72 and added a 10 shot mag to compete with the Ruger 10/22. In 1970-72 they brought out a detachable mag version called the 77. The BD also had black spacers in the pistol grip and butt plate area. The Black Diamond had a black diamond on the stock as opposed to all the other nylon rifles with white diamonds. It was replaced with an all black version called the Black Diamond from mid 70s until end of production. Remington also brought out the chrome plated black stocked Apache Black 66 in 62 until about the mid 70s. All Remington's have a 2 letter date code on the barrel which will tell you what month and year they were made. Remington started putting serial numbers under the barrel in late 1967 and moved to the left side of the metal receiver cover in 68. Therefore Nylon 66s without serial numbers are pre 68 rifles.
An original Seneca Green is worth more than the Mohawk Brown or Apache 77 version.īe aware that until 1968, 22 rifles did not have to have serial numbers on them. This is sometimes referred to my unscrupulous sellers as seneca green but it is not. This is called the Seneca Green version, not to be confused with the detachable box magazine Apache 77 that was sold by K-Mart from 1987-89. Remington made a dull green stocked 66 in 59 as well. The first 66 were brown stocked (Mohawk Brown) with blue steel. It is of course a through the stock tube fed semi auto. The Nylon 66 was introduced in 1959 and was made up until around 1986.
