I have seen the black and chrome model. But that is the first Black Diamond I ever saw. Nice rifle 9x19.

I have the green model, which there doesn't seem to be too many of them around. BFM0072, how is that scope mounted to your Nylon? Can you offer any details about the mount and scope? Thanks.

I had a black one. Accurate, but it had too many misfeeds.

[TrailDust]

Not mine. I've put a minimum of 40,000+ rounds down the barrel over the years and rarely a misfeed. Did you take your Nylon apart and clean it, or not clean it as Remington suggests? I only ever clean the barrel.

I had two of the brown ones and really liked them. Got stupid and sold them before the current price craziness hit. I took one apart one time but realized it was a waste of time. I even removed the metal receiver plate and found out.....Yikes, the bolt runs in a plastic (OK...nylon) groove! The receiver plate is a fake. There's no metal there!

Brushing in some Hoppes #9 and blowing it out with an air hose ought to be plenty of cleaning. Oiling then another blast of air to remove the excess and it should be ready to go.

My Nylon is my favorite gun...just a plain fun plinking and hunting rifle. I inherited it from my Dad who had long since lost the owner's manual, so for years I took that thing apart and had a hell of a time putting it back together. Finally, I contacted Remington and they sent me a link to download a copy of the manual. THAT'S when I found out no cleaning is recommended except for the barrel! I need to amend my will because I have no one to leave it to, and Hawg put dibs on it some months ago...

trail dust , your green one would be an apache model sold exclusivly by k-mart inc. a good friend of mine just got one a while back and we did the research on them it is one of the least produced models of the nylon series so you may want to hang on to it .
I have in waiting a model 10-c which is the clip fed version , my dad owns this one now and bought it new back in the early 70's and I don't think he has fired more than a 50 ct box of ammo through it .
the mohawk 77 which was the most common model of the series sold for $49 when it first hit the market as we all know they sold like hot cakes !

I know it wasn't bought at K-mart since my Dad got it at Clark AFB in the Philippines in 1964. Definitely will hang onto this gun till the day I die as it's always been my favorite gun...it's such a fun gun. Like I said, I think I'll be willing it to my buddy Hawghauler when I bite the big one some day....
