History
The Model 660 emerged from the success of the Model 600, which was originally produced from 1964 to 1967. In 1968, the Model 660 was introduced as a redesign of the Model 600. Main changes included elimination of the ventilated rib and a 2-inch (5.1 cm) increase in the length of the barrel. After 3 years, the M660 was discontinued and the Model 600 Mohawk was introduced.

Recall
The Model 660, along with many Model 600s was affected by a recall in 1979 to remedy a problem with the bolt lock safety that under certain circumstances allowed accidental discharge. https://www.remington.com/support/safety-center/safety-modification-program/remington-model-600-660
