I have one that needs to be restored. Was under water in Katrina. You want to do the job for me? I think it needs a new spring for the trigger.

I think every single Nylon 66 has been under water at one point in its life. Mine has too

Still shoots like a fricking dream though

After hearing and reading the stories of countless 66's being brought to gunsmiths because their owners couldn't get them back together I'll admit that I was intimidated in taking on this project. But after doing it once I'm confident in my ability to be able to do it again even without using the YouTube video as a guide.

The hardest part is getting the feed ramp into position and holding it there while then installing the bullet stop and spring that once installed, holds the feed ramp in place.

Fish, I'll gladly work on yours if you really want me to. Numrich.com has a trigger spring available. They seem to be the place to go for 66 parts. As far as refinishing, I can't re-blue it but can Duracoat paint it. Check out their website for more info and colors.
