problem w/remington corporate-nylon 66

I have a customer that brought in a remington nylon 66 with a broken stock. The stock was supposed to be guaranteed for life. So I called remington and asked about a different stock, the customer rep said to send in the complete gun with the broken + 75.00 and they would send back a plain black/blued model 597. I think that this is kind of a rip-off considering what the 597 is worth. what do you guys think? thanks

Doesn't seem reasonable to me that you would expect them to keep parts in stock for what was then a inexpensive/economy .22 rifle, that been out of print for going on 20 years.
...Maybe it's from sheer repetition, but I don't find the 66 hard to work on at all. By the way....even though it seems as though the nylon stock should be considered the "receiver", the BATF considers the sheet metal cover to be the regulated part. Go figure.
