Question for the cooey experts. I have a Cooey model 75 that was missing a bolt. I bought a new bolt off EE here, but upon trying it out i cannot close the bolt. I also tried the bolt in a model 82 which did not work either. The bolt face seems too long and wont allow the handle to close.

How do I fit the bolt?

Thanks,

so here is my take on this , go to a gunsmith and have him fit and headspace the bolt that is if your sure its the right one ,,, aftermarket bolts almost impossible to find, then they must be headspaced ... back to gunsmith,,, or buy a new bolt action 22 forget about old cooeys ... have a new gun for little over 200 bucks that will outshoot the old cooey I laugh when I see the old cooey for sale for 175 to 200 bucks ... buy a savage mark 11 new for 250 and get a good safe gun with accura trigger for me its a no brainer ,, hang the old gun up on wall to remind you old guns are not allways better
 
If one stares at the delema long and hard'nuff the place to remove or file metal should redeem itself.
I'm sure there will be a kawmpittant gunsmith along shortly to recktittfy my annalogee.

have the same problem with a Cooey Ranger.Bought a bolt on the EE and it won't fit.We should run a bolt exchange for the problem Cooeys.I might have yours and visa versa.
 
If it is the right bolt and almost close enough to close, the place to remove metal from is the side of the bolt handle closest to the shooter. Rimfire .22's headspace on the cartridge rim. There would only be an issue if there was slop when the bolt was closed.

Definitely a polish and try job to get it right. Removing material is easy, putting it back, much more difficult.

Yep, it's the rear of the notch and the handle of the bolt which together are the locking lug on a rimfire of this sort. But I'd want to remove the metal from the back side of the notch in the receiver instead of the bolt. There's more metal in the receiver than on the bolt handle. And the bolt handle and that back surface in the notch is what withstands the recoil. So take the metal off the part where there is more metal.

If you do this be sure to keep the angle correct so the bolt does not want to try to jump upwards out of the notch. And restore the rounding at the corner as that is what the handle wedges against during closing.
