I want to take apart the bolt and clean it out on a Cooey 82 I just got, it appears to be as new in the grease, I'd like to get a service manual for it but alas, my calls to the Cooey factory seem to be going unanswered :confused:
If anybody has some advice, tips or can scan and post some instructions it would be sure appreciated. Googling now , if I find any info I'll scan and post here.
Thanks, Vince
 
where did you find one new in grease?

ive got one, x-military trainer.
i took it totally down last summer and cleaned it from the inside out, was a heavy used gun from my dad.
if memory serves me correctly you just pull the bolt back, hit the trigger - that comes out now.
then there is one screw on the underside - if you have the fake mag its under that.
then your barrel and trigger are off the stock - unless you have a front and mid band, undo those.
then you just have the trigger and spring and seer, its about as simple as a gun gets.

and IF you find a manual post a link to it, ive never seen one myself.
 
if your talking the BOLT itself, i think you just twist it, i think its screwed together - the front half and back half.
id have to go get mine out and i dont think the wife would enjoy me rummaging through the gun safe in the bedroom at 1am, haha!

ill dig it out tomorrow and have a look if thats what ya need help with.
 
The bolt guide (round stud on side of bolt) is actually a pin that holds the front half and rear half together. This will need to be driven out, sometimes polished and hard to see where it is on the other side of the rear bolt body. Once the 2 are apart, the front striker nut will need to be unscrewed, releasing the striker and spring. Firing pin is retained with a blind pin underneath the extractor.
 
Thanks, I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I replied to an ad of one for sale last week, it had sold before I saw the ad. So I put up a wanted ad, since I was now obsessed, the best reply was actually a guy who only lived less than an hour away. He said he bought it from an estate collection, and I would say it's probably the best possible example I could have asked to find, nary a mark on the stock, barrel bluing near perfect, but some grease and goo around the bolt that will need to be cleaned up before I try to fire it. Thinking I'll give the stock a wipe with some raw linseed oil and add a nice ZL&T web sling I have here.
No dummy magazine , but from what I've read, they were handmade by cadet squadrons anyway, it was never an issued piece. I have a nice piece of Oak here that could be pressed into service to make a dummy mag. I'll just make a copy off a No 4 Mk 1. I'll post pics if I do. Looking forward to playing with this rifle, neat backstory and historical interest. Until last week I wasn't even aware they existed.
 
Hate to be a negative-Nelly, but I would'nt disassemble a Cooey bolt that already works well, or is "as issued". Even some filthy ones have come back nice with soaking, scrubbing, and blowing.

Good score on finding a nice '82. They are popular with Cooey, and 'surp aficionados alike. I have one in the project pile that I really should do something with.
 
of all my guns my Cooey 82 is probably my most prized.
its been sporterized by having the stock cut down but its a military trainer one that came from my grandpa to my dad to me and will continue to my kids.
a beautiful piece of canadian history these guns, dosnt hurt that they shoot great either!
 
I am of the opinion that a Cooey bolt shouldn't be detail stripped unless absolutely necessary.

If an 82 is intact and unaltered, a hole for a woodscrew to attach a homemade dummy magazine would be a bad idea.
 
top seceret classified Canadian DND files pertaining to the Coodey 82 and its fake magazine..... you didnt see anything!

On the two model 82's I have, the little hole is already in the stock, ahead of the trigger guard.

Does your gun have the military serial number on the bottom of the pistol grip and the Canadian broad arrow mark at the front of the breech?

Yes, and yes. The Canadian broad arrow is quite small, and there is also one on the bolt arm, faint but clear enough to make out. I wasn't planning to take the bolt apart, just wanted to make sure all is clean and safe to shoot. A bit of playing with it and I figured out how to remove it from the rifle, and will give it a swoosh to clean it up. Does not appear to have any wear, and had some grease, cosmoline? in the inner crevasses and knurling of the bolt cocking button.
 
I downloaded and printed that info too, and my stock has the small hole too, My interpretation is that the dummy magazines were to be made at a cadet unit level and were not factory supplied, I would think the most likely scenario is to have a dowel the size of the action screw for alignment, and a wood-type screw in the fake magazine to screw into the small hole.
Here's some pics, had a spare MS&U Ltd sling for her, though a Woods, Hugh Carson or ZL&T sling would be more appropriate since the came from English speaking Canada.
