Canadian History - Sears Model 684

[Marcelm]

Just picked up an old shotgun at a local shop. Wondering if anyone knows much about these? A genuine Made in Canada gun, had to have it just for that!!

My uncle and mom talk about how you used to be able to buy a gun in local hardware stores next to the law mowers. Now I know what they would have gotten.

Amazed it also takes 3" shells, must have bee. One of the first!

Might try it at the trap field next week. Doubt it will handle steel shot for ducks?

Winchester Canada Cooey.

It will handle steel just fine if you ream the barrel to a mod and even at full the barrel might bulge a bit but it's mostly a cosmetic issue.

Thanks for the info guys. Think I'll stick to target loads for now, got a perfectly good duck gun.

The barrel serial number and the receiver serial number match so I know that this is not just a Simpson Sears replacement barrel or something like that

No, I was not doubting that it was made for Simpsons Sears.Its just the first one I have seen so marked.Neat piece of Canadiana.Don't do anything to the shotgun.Keep it as a piece of Canadian firearms history.

Cool old gun. Keep that receiver oiled or it will start to rust.

Cooey (6)84?

My first gun was a cooey 84 single... essentially the same as what you have there.... still take it out once in a while.... in fact, I shot a coyote with it off the back deck last year.... I personally wouldn't shoot steel out of it though.....

Cooey (6)84?

According to John Belton's book they were circa 1975. As one can see, it has a plastic forearm spacer instead of steel. The plastic spacer was later production.
