Cooey Model 82

[woodchopper]

Looks like I may be getting my hands on a few training rifles. So far I have 2 one the metal is covered im black paint. The other one I have now is only a barreled reciever but the stock is comming.

Now why am I posting here.... well they have the C broad arrow stamps

May be 4 complete, but will need some work, stocks varnished, metal painted black. But nothing that paint stipper and some work and some BLO cant repair.

I've never really collected .22 rifles and I don't need 4 so may find one or 2 in the EE.

any ideal waht a reasonable price is?

Most likely in the $175-$200 range. .22 trainers are my area of interest and my sole area of collection / restoration.

Cooey 82s are often missing their sling swivels. Peep sights are hard to come by and can increase the price of the rifle when found.

If you find any with a front sight hood like this, be sure to let me know as I think it may be an official variant. A letter "T" should follow the serial number on the pistol grip butt:

thanks,

Looks like over the years a lot of the parts got seperated from the rifles so I'm hoeping that there are enough parts to put one together.

Sad to see rifles treated so poorly.

Just an update

Cleaned the paint off the 2 barrels I have and they have numbers poorly ingraved on them H116 and H117

Go figure what are the odds of getting seqential rack numbers.

I'll get teh rest in the next few weeks.

also interesting I dissasembled the stock and its a 2 piece stock.

Odd about the numbers. I've never seen a Cooey 82 with numbers anywhere except the pistol grip butt. It is really cool that you got sequential rack numbers. Perhaps they should stay together!

Yes the stock was a 2 piece. Everything about this training rifle screams "wartime expedient." The Cooey 82 was, of course, just a Cooey 75sporter dressed up like an Enfield No. 4.
