I just finished rebuilding my cooey 60.looks great and I think it will work great, just one thing I can't figure out.

Why when I load the ammo into the tube and then chamber a round does the first round in the tube get ejected rather than being set into the chamber?

Do I have the screw to tight on the feed tube or am I missing something. any help would be great, this is my first tube fed rifle

Thanks.
 
Mine has never done that . I'm a beginner with them myself but I am sure someone here will be able to figure it out for you .
I do know , when I was researching that model before buying I read that the bottom screw attaching the stock to the action has to be just so or it will block you from clambering a round at all , but that doesn't sound like your problem .
When I push the loaded tube into mine I have to make sure it is done up properly with the wee pin going into the notch all the way or it won't chamber a round , but its never ejected one like yours is doing .
Anyhow , there are several people here that know plenty about the 60s and I'm sure one of them can help you more then I have .

Mine did that but it's easy to fix. Remove the stock then work the bolt. You'll notice an arm under the action that moves up and down.
The reason you can't chamber a round is that arm is hitting the stock. I just took a narrow chisel and removed about 1/8th of an inch from the channel that arm sits in so it was free. Done, good as new.
 
All the above info is good. The only thing I can add is if none of the above work, it could be your extractor that is worn and loose and maybe out of tolerance. That is if cooeys actually had tolerances...

07blackwater identified probably the most annoying issue with a cooey 60 and one that nobody thinks of. Had to do the same thing to mine and now it feeds and functions slicker than goose poop.

That's good to know .
I have had mine completely stripped several times but never had any problem with it after reassembly . I lucked out .
Bought it off a member here and it was in as nice condition as you could imagine . I love that little rifle .
 
To those that said they can't get the tube out with the bolt open you're right. I haven't had mine out for a while since I use a. 410 for grousing lately.

The 60 is a hell of an accurate plinker though, great rifle.

You're not kidding . Compare my $150 Cooey 60 to my 10/22 (probably $700 with the mods) , and hands down that Cooey is a way better gun , accurate as hell . I have to get a 64 as I prefer not recocking every shot . I'm a left too , so the semi is a better prospect .
My mod60 is 10X the gun that most of this new crap is . I'll never sell it .
 
Could be bent extractors from loading directly into chamber. Don't do that. Always load through the magazine. Mine used to shoot random rounds out before i fixed the extractor.
 
Mine was doing this too. It also wouldn't properly feed probably 4 out of every 10 shots. I had been firing Winchester Dynapoints. Today I went out with 20+year old CCI mini mags. They worked flawlessly. I guess that's what I'll be using from now on.
