Was helping my father clean up his basement when we found a box containing these little gems (well, more like diamonds in the ruff 
)
the top one is a cooey 82 and the bottom one is an old Eatonia. The 82 is going to be an S&G refinish project that I may try to go original (anyone with pics of the two stock types feel free to post) or just experiment and go from there. The Eatonia though I want to make as original as possible because from what my father told me it was my grandfathers first firearm (passed d/t cancer in '91) and I want to bring it to it's former glory in his honour. Anywho, enough prattle on with the pics
Model 82 first:
thought there were more pics of it but hey, let the wife have her artistic license and this is what you get *sigh* ah well, good photos either way. That's all I have for this one, need a bolt and as mentioned before a stock (yet to be decided what type) and the bolt/screw that holds it to the stock, and trigger guard, and rear sight elevator and (wallet and luck permitting) the rear aperture sight, and last but not least a VERY hard and good cleaning >< rust all over this poor thing
but hopefully I can breathe some life back into her.
the Eatonia:
Such a small little rifle! So to get this one going in working condition I need to get my hands on a bolt, trigger guard and butt plate and again the screw/bolt that holds it all together. Now for the stock... I think it's FUBAR'd personally, any other takes on it please chip in, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to dish out for an all new (original) stock.
Going to be placing an ad in the EE looking for the bits that I need. Winnipeg Toymaker gave me a few helpful places to look at, but if anyone else has/knows of anyone that could help out, let me know. And any ideas as to where to go with the 82, be it restore or personalize pipe in, all input is welcome
Both rifle have good strong rifling as far as I can tell. They definitely need a good scrubbing inside and out, but should shoot straight as can be when they're done (so I hope
)
