Cooey 64 take apart

take out the one screw that holds on the wood. You will see a octagon shaped or round nut that has a threaded hole in it, This must be taken off and the u-shaped clip also taken away, The barrel then must be pulled out of the action slightly twisting it will help but caution as you may bend or break the ejector. Once the barrel is out...then the bolt assembly will slide forward and when it reaches the end of the slot, pull the cocking handle out and the bolt should slide right out. I use a brush and oil to clean the action tube and lightly oil again before assembly. Do not attempt to take the bolt ass'y apart as it is pressed together and disassembly ruins the peaning. Clean the bolt good with 0000steel wool and take off the firing pin and clean the slot etc. Quite simple to reassemble too.
The mag holder is held on by 2 screws and slides rearward then can be lifted away, then the back bolt holding the trigger mechanism is removed and all the ass'y cleaned without disassembly. If you need any more help...please PM me

cote B, try keeping all parts together in some kind of a tray or paper plate. It will help later when you are putting things together, there should be no "spare parts" left in that tray at the end. Cooeys are very simple design, all parts simply impossible to install wrong way. And there aren't too many parts to begin with. Also check Numrich gun parts, I think they may have schematics for Cooey.
I just picked up a 64B off of the EE and first thing I did was clean it. If you dont clean them regularly they will gradually sieze up and stop shooting. The near new one I just got was all gucked up and looks like the owner put it away when it stopped shooting-some of the guck was pretty hard. All parts scrubbed with 0000 steel wool and oil and I used a 12ga brush and patch to clean out the inside of the receiver. Man it sure is slick now. Note-when you have it apart feel the edges of the firing pin and ejector for a sharp burr. These are stamped parts and a stone will take those off nicely. Decreases drag and places for crud to build up on. Real slick now and will likely shoot well for quite a while. Going to load up some CCI Minimags and see how clean they are with this gun. When I was a teen and using one every weekend, I knew better than to put it away without cleaning. They are good shooters but they are princesses too. Good thing they come apart easy.
