Cooey model 60, bbl pinned or threaded?

[tokguy]

I've got a nice little Cooey model 60 that has the point on the receiver for attaching the trigger...well, it's hooped.
Now, I'm lucky enough to have another parts gun with a good receiver. Is it pressed or threaded? There is a point on the rebuild-able one that could be a pin...unlikely, but could be.
Anyone out there know the answer?

Never had reason to remove a barrel on one but I have read that it is pinned.

Seems like the best bet, but the outline of the pin is...well, practically nonexistent.
Thanks for the input.

Certainly pinned. Some are tough to see, and I'm guessing final metal finishing came after pinning. I have one here that is clearly visible, and it's about halfway between where cut-out in receiver ends and the end of the receiver. It is also in-line with the bottom of the cutout. Iu the upper rifle, you can see the pin retaining the barrel, on the lower rifle you can see the broken trigger mount.



You may be able to fix the receiver though. I had one where the hole for trigger pin broke out. I put a tiny bead of weld on it, and redrilled. Pretty sure I wrote about it in Cooey makeover thread, but can't find m'own post! My post includes my mistake...I tried to keep the original hole with roll pin, and hope the weld would flow around it. BAD IDEA!!! When it came time to re-drill, hardened roll pin made that very difficult. I'd try it with a chunk of copper wire, or chunk of brazing rod in the hole, so it's softer than surrounding materials.


EDIT: My post on the fix:

Not dis-similar from mine, lol.
Only I cleaned it out totally and spliced in a new tab...poorly I might add.
So fate has tumbled into my hands the reciever from my 1st .22 ever; with factory D - T'ing, which the hooped one does not have.
The rifle in repair is a nice lil 19" bbl'd unit with nicely refinished wood, make a nice little retro unit once glassed up with the original mount and that old school 3/4" Weaver.
Thanks for the help.
