Are Cooey 840 barrels/recievers interchangeable?

Providing they are the same guage?

The reason I ask is I bought another barrel for mine, and it won't lock closed...Machining differences?

 

[greyman441]

Yep machining differences is correct. Each of them were made for specific barrels. If you want it to fit correctly your going to need a gunsmith to make it work.

I have switched barrels on these with no issues.

Even 12ga~16ga and vice versa. Can't hurt to be safe though I guess.

I am wondering if that is a good thing - sounds like you could carefully file the radius of the barrel where it pivots until it just closes. Of course you could just hand the parts over to a gunsmith and have it done. Be careful to choose a real gunsmith though.

I have some that the barrels will interchange on and others that won't. So it is a hit and miss thing as far as them interchanging.

Most of the time, it is not the radius that is the issue. The notch, where the ejector sits, is where the issue lies. If you can close the action, but not **** the hammer, the notch has to be deepened because the corresponding V in the receiver, actuated by the top-snap, has not been seated deep enough in the notch.

Ah thanks for the further wisdom - greatly appreciated!

If you are fitting one, use a marker, soot, etc, and go slow.

Mine won't even lock!

Mine won't even lock!

If you start fitting it, it will.
