info on a non CAS item

[65bsaA65]

Gents, I know this is the wrong forum for the info I need, but some body probably knows a web site I can access that will help me out.  A friend of mine acquired an apache 77 in a trade; it has a couple of minor issues.  Turns out this is a Remington .22 made and sold by K-Mart; appears to be a model 66, with perhaps a trifle less quality control than was practised on guns marketed the  regular way under the Remington name.  I got a parts schematic from Numrich; which would be excellent for ordering parts but has no information for dissasembly/reassembly.  I don't want my buddy breaking the peice before I get a chance to break it; :'(and I don't like breaking things without an instruction list!!!)   I  would appreciate any link to an appropriate website, or hell, just a good luck Chuck!

Seriously.

Most manufacturers can help you out on these things - and are happy to do so.

'Trade Name' guns were marked for many firms - and most manufacturers built them - marking them to the firm as needed.

The only thing that made it a 'lesser' firearm was the connotation with discount stores, gas stations and hardware stores - they were sold for a few dollars less as a 'loss-leader' to bring folks into the store.

Vaya,

Scouts Out!

This guy is awkward and doesn't have his terminology right, but the process is okay. On reassembly you must push down the sear with a screw driver while pulling the trigger and moving the hammer back over the sear. I saved up my money and bought my Nylon 66 when I was 15. I immediately took it apart and couldn't figure how to get the hammer back over the sear. Had to take it to a gun smith for assembly. He kept the gun a week and charged me $16.00 to put it back together. Well another week went by and I took it apart again with same result. I finally stumbled into the pulling the trigger while pushing down on the sear with a screw driver. The gun smith could have reassembled the gun while I stood their talking to him. Always felt he took advantage of me. Guess you pay for what they know and not how long they work. $16 dollars was a lot of money to a 15 year old in 1960.
Good luck! This process is for a Nylon 66 and I think it would be the same for a Nylon 77.
If you have any problems, post it and I'll try to walk you through it.
