Cooey 82 Cadet Trainer Rear Sight Help

[HuskyDude]

If you have a 82 Trainer. Wondering if you have a rear sight and if so which one?

Saw this one in the Belton booklet but think it might be to replace the rear on a Cunuck not the Trainer.

I was thinking it look more like this one.

Try JR Cooey parts if he doesn't have it he probably knows who does.

The correct one is the Pair shown @ bottom. Same 1 is used on the model 78 also.

Out of all the different peep sight systems out there, I've always thought that if I had to make my own the simplest to duplicate would be the Cooey trainer's.
With the amount of Cooey's out there missing their rear sight, might be a small opportunity for a fabricator to do a run.

Brownells sells these for around $17US, or you could score a cheap peep on the EE for a different gun and adapt it.

Yes that pic is for the Watson Canuck. I've got one and seen another. They are arguably one of the rarest cooeys out there. Definitely more so than the ace 2 or Bisley.

Yep, the Cooey peep sight is the one on the model 82, 78 and 62.

So is mine. I have a model 78, and it was missing the aperture part. We hosed a Cooey day at our club last year, and one of the guys had one; new old stock. I paid $90 bucks for it, and have no regrets.

I've got a couple of "new old stock" ones for sale.

Here you are, the gun had a rubberized coating over the entire stock. Once I removed it I saw that the stock was completely broke in two. I could of put a good one on but out of respect for her history I left as is. As you can see its got the serial number as well indicating it's a very early canuck.

Very Nice...Awesome!!! Love to see all the old Canadian rifles. Part of our history.




Guess what I found in the mail box this morning...."Happy Camper" once again.

The bottom pair is what I have on mine.

BTW, the 82 is not a cadet rifle, it is actually the one used to train the RCAF in marksmanship before moving up the full bore..

Not sure where you are basing your assumption on...

While in Air Cadets in Welland (87 Squadron) 71-75. I think we had a dozen or so of these....We always referred to them as "Cadet Training Rifles".

From the "Cooey Firearms" booklet by John Belton.

Calibre Canadian Firearm magazine

Cooey once again soon found himself embroiled in another war-effort economy. And again, he tooled up to support the effort, creating the Model 82 training rifle during World War II (which earned a contract for the procurement of 34,810 rifles by the army and R.C.A.F.Air Cadet Corps). Designed to mimic the look and, to a lesser degree, the handling of a full-size Lee Enfield rifle the Model 82 or M82 was little more than a Lee Enfield-style stock on a convention Model 39. However, the rifle’s historical relevance and relative rarity make it something of a collector’s piece today. And coincidentally, many are still in active service with the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Corp!
