CBC

This was an unusual rifle that came into the shop as a consignment sale.  It's a CBC (Brazil) GR8, also known as the Black Beauty.  These rifles are a variation of the Remington Nylon 66 and have developed some value as collectibles in their own right.  There are various stories about there about how CBC came to produce these.  Some say that CBC and Remington were both partly owned by DuPont.  Others says that CBC acquired the tooling and machines directly from Remington.  The most likely truth is that CBC acquired a license from Remington to produce their own version of the Nylon 66.  Whichever story is accurate, these were made in Brazil and then imported into the U.S. by various importers over the years.  Our serial number is 26506 and was imported by FIE.

The Nylon 66 (and, of course, our rifle) were really the original polymer rifle.  The black polymer stock runs from buttpad to the forearm and the receiver is then covered by the metal that you see in the photos.  The barrel is 19.5 inches.  The rear sight is adjustable for both windage and elevation.  The front sight is fixed.  A manual safety is atop the tang.  The rounds feed from a tube magazine that loads from the butt of the rifle.

A Sears 4x15 scope is currently mounted on the rifle.  The scope has windage and elevation adjustments that are covered by screw-on caps.  The zoom adjustment does not currently move freely but the glass and reticle are clear.  The scope tube does have some wear on it.  Overall, the scope adds minimal value to the rifle.

The bore of the rifle is clean, the barrel is bright and the rifling appears good.  The metal over the receiver does have some small scratches but is in overall Good condition.

The polymer stock has a white diamond insert, checkered forearm, checkered pistol grip and a pistol grip cap.  The stock does have some nicks but is in overall Good condition.

Purchase includes the rifle and scope only.  No case.

This is a consignment sale and, like all of our consignments, we have not test-fired this rifle.  We have performed all function checks and find no issues.  As with all pre-owned firearm purchases, please view the photos carefully so that you are fully comfortable with the condition of the rifle.
