Cooey 60 Barrel Removal Question

[ssapach]

I'm curious if there is a difference between the barrel to receiver attachment on Cooey Model 60's?

I took one apart, and it had a pin that was accessible from either side, so it could be hammered out. I have another 60 apart and the pin seems to be open to one end only.

Is this a normal thing, maybe dependent on year of manufacture? Does this pin need to be drilled out or am I just seeing this all wrong?

Have a look at the pictures, the pin is exposed on one end, but looks as if it's in a blind hole. Either that, or it was ground flush on the opposing end and then the whole assembly was blued afterwards.

It's polished over, I can see a very faint oval

Nope, this sucker was in a blind hole. I drilled it out and it was at such an angle that if it were a hole through the receiver on the other end, it would probably have been visible with the stock on.

Ok.

Thanks for the reply anyways.

Would have been easier if it was a through hole though. I'm still curious if this is a normal thing based on something like production year or if it's an anomaly as far as Cooeys go.

Did you make it a through hole for next time?

Nope. It was at too much of an angle and would have been visible when the stock was attached. Considering I put the barrel back into the receiver after bluing, the pin would have been absolutely visible as it wouldn't be ground flush and blued with the receiver.
