I come to you with a question....

I've got a cooey 75 thats seen better days, i've been putting some elbow grease into cleaning it, and am onto the bolt. How do you pull these puppies apart? I've noticed a notched collar on the inside of the bolt, but short of getting a little tool rigged up, i cant seem to find any other way to pull it apart.

Any Idea's?
 
I was just wondering and I know this is'nt the place to ask but can I replace the extracter on a 75 bolt ?? and are they available? it looks like it's held in there via tension - press fit. I have one and it's got a fantastic trigger - hair trigger but the extractor is toast. if you boys could shed some light on this issue that would be great .

Western Gun Parts normally has the part. Expensive at like 35$.
 
Thankyou very much Okay Shooter . I'll look into that . not much is cheap anymore . the rifle was a gift from a good friend and I like things to function as they should . take care.
 
I wouldn't bother with Western Gun Parts, too expensive. I needed an extractor last year for a cooey and found one here from a member through a WTB add for much less. Forgot who he is though, somewhere in Ontario. Might try that first.
 
I bought a few recently from Western. I believe they were $20 ea. Only problem is they are not too springy. Be very carefull installing them as they bend out of shape.
 
I have same issue with disassembly. How this rifle is so common but their isn't any video to guide users?

I bought a brand new extractor form this fellow.
Darren his shingle is Cooey Guy. A nice fellow to deal with.
Can’t remember what I paid for it, it wasn’t that much.
It’s held in place under its own tension so care has to taken installing it. Doesn’t take long to install but care has be taken as it will break if you get carried away with force.

An old thread, but there are lots of Cooey singles and folks using them.
The bolts are not designed to be readily field stripped. The cocking piece can be removed from the striker shaft by driving out the crosspin (which is also the guide lug).
A tool has to be made to unscrew the collar that retains the striker rod and mainspring.
The extractor is removed by pushing the hook away from the bolt face and prying the extractor forward. The extractor has a protruding lug that secures it to the bolt.
IT IS REALLY EASY TO BREAK THE EXTRACTOR WHEN ATTMPTING TO REMOVE IT.
The firing pin is retained by a pin under the extractor.
The extractor is replaced by pushing it back into place, prying it outward so the retaining lug clears and snaps into place.
IT IS EASY TO BREAK AN EXTRACTOR WHEN DOING THIS.
It is best not to disassemble these bolts unless you absolutely have to.
The bolt handle is also the locking lug. These are individually fitted to rifles. A used bolt may or may not safely fit another rifle.
Earlier bolt handles were dovetailed into the bolt body and brazed in place. Later ones (Winchester Cooey) have handles that have a peg which engages a socket in the bolt body and are induction brazed. The earlier style is stronger - I seen later ones broken off.
