After some research, DuPont came back to Remington with a compound they called Nylon Zytel-101. The specs given to DuPont called for a material that could be formed into any shape desired but that also had a high tensile-impact and flexural strength. Thus Remington asked chemical engineers at to come up with a plastic that could replace both the wooden stock and the receiver. History In the 1950s, was interested in designing a rifle that was cheaper to produce.Īfter analysis, engineers determined that there were savings to be found in the production of the receivers and stocks of rifles.Though conventional in layout and design, the Model 34 and 341.
