i recently got a Cooey 60 and would like to know how to remove the bolt. it hasn't been cleaned in 50+ years. this is the tupe fed repeater so it's more the simple case of pulling the trigger and backing out the bolt
 
I believe I recently worked on a friends model 60 and you need to remove the stock from the action and then you will see what has to be removed to allow you to remove the bolt from the rifle. I dont recall the exact details on what I had to do to remove the bolt but once you have the stock off the rifle you will have a better idea what needs to be done. There was a 6 sided bolt holding the magazine assembly on that I recall having to remove that allowed it to slide forward so that it disconnected from the bolt.... Or something similar to that anyhow.


Good luck.
 
Thanks for the info.. I'll have the same rifle in my hands in a few days, and was wondering exactly the same thing.

Mine will likely need lots of TLC. The finish on the wood is nearly gone, the barrel looks like it needs a bit of refinishing in spots... but what the hay, it's a classic :)
 
I just asked this a couple of weeks ago.

Assuming you did your ACTS/PROVE (sorry, my disclaimer)
remove the stock
The nut that holds the stock screw is the retainer and needs to be loosened.
Pull the trigger and remove the bolt at the same time

mines not much better. no finish on the wood, no bluing left lots of rust spots and surface pitting. not sure if i should refinish it or not. my dad and all my uncles hunted with this as a kids, so for nostalgias sake i thought leave it be. on the other hand i would like to hunt with it, but wouldn't want to expose it to the elements as is. and my dad always says " why own it if you ain't gonna hunt with it?" ( can be frustrating when arguing about handguns)
 
I bought a Cooey 600 (same rifle) from Shooters choice in October for $60, Decent wood but crappy blueing. After a good stripdown and a very light lubrication with ATF around the bolt and tube, that old plinker gave me some pretty tight groups at the range with its basic sights- and caused utter mayhem to the local Bushytail population with subsonic ammunition. Yumyum! (Natures tasty treat.)
Advice: remove the bolt as described above and use a pick to carefully clean any crud buildup from the shell extractor claws, just see how slick it feeds afterwards. It will cycle shorts fine but prefers LR's.

Enjoy! For years and years..
 
I have yet to come across a Cooey that couldn't plink bottle caps at 30 yards. I'm always amazed at how accurate those old rifles are, even the "abused" ones, considering how cheaply they were made. I've out-shot many a higher priced 22 rifle with nothing but the origional leaf sights on my Grandad's Model 60.

I inherited it about 15 years ago, it was my first rifle, and the one I'll never part with.

That being said, does anyone make a target aperature sight that'll match up with the existing scope mount holes on the action? I'd like better sights, but not willing to drill and tap it.
 
My Cooey was dropped off today.. it looks better than I remember! There's still some finish on the wood :)
 
I have two of them. You can tell the difference in when they where made. Older one is much nice.

I tend to use them to shoot the staples from my targets. at 10 - 15 yards.
 
I've had my dad's model 60 for the last 10 yrs. I stripped it down, and painted the whole thing, (stock, barrel and scope) camo. It looks awesome. The old girl shoots sub 1 inch groups out to 75 yards off the bench using CCI Velocitors. I'd like to post a pic of this gun but am unsure how to post a pic. Thanks for the help. BTW, Delty posted the correct proceedure for removing the bolt. -TBH
