Cabelas in Rogers had almost the entire library devoted to various nylon Remingtons not long ago, including an import from Brazil, if I am not mistaken.
The prices were, clearly, the very optimistic ramblings of a madman-think $700-$2000. It all quietly went away between several visits I made.
Turd in the punchbowl time. I know where there is a very nearly new condition Apache Black nylon 66 automatic, that has been locked open since it's10th or 11th round. The owner isn't interested in fixing it, and just put it away after that happened.
Even as a kid, I saved just a little more scratch, until I had the coin for a 552 BDL, and patiently continued saving until I had the money for a Weaver K4 and mounts to put on it. My Dad poo-pooed the fixed power scope, but, the gun shoots rings around his 241 with a Redfield 1.5-6. My 552 shoots as well, or, better than my Remington 581 bolt action .22.
You guys can keep all the nylons, thank you very much.
Best,
Ted
