Cooey model 84 12 gauge

[20gaugepump]

Did Cooey make a model 84 12 gauge with a 28" barrel?

 

[gunsaholic]

All I've ever come across are 30" or 36" and the 36" might only be after Winchester took over. Now back in the day I don't know if Cooey would make a different length barrel for someone as a custom order.

I have run across a 26" and 30". If you break it open and measure from one end to the other is that your measurement or do you have to allow for the chamber?

You have to allow for the chamber but if you are measuring from end to end the chamber will be included. As far as I know, Cooey never mass produced a 26" barrel. Lots of these have been cut down to get rid of the full choke as that was standard Cooey choking.

26", 28" and 30" barrels are the common ones , 32", 34", and 36" barrels are the rare ones but made also in 12ga

How much is the 28" barrel Cooey model 84 worth in good shape?

 

[struff55]

$100.00 -$ 125

What he said. The smaller gauges bring a little more.

Not anymore...i just sold it. That particular gun had a 28" barrel.

Barrel lengths ranged from 26"-36". 12 and 16 gauge guns were most commonly available with 30" barrels. 20 and 28 gauge guns were most commonly equipped with 28" barrels and .410's commonly had 26" barrels

You did very well if you got your asking price. Almost makes me think about selling mine but nah, I'll hang onto it.

 

[BMcK]

Wow...that was a hefty price tag.

Yes, I did get the asking price. I got quite a few messages in a short period of time and the "i'll take it" message came a few hours after posting the ad. I also sold a 28g Cooey 840 about 4 months ago for $375. Lots of demand for the 28g....but im likely keeping the last one I have left.

I'd hang onto it. I have one 840 in 28 gauge and two 84's. I sold two 84's and two 840's in 28 gauge in the last couple of years so I think I'm keeping the ones I have left.

Agreed! If I could have a "do-over", it would be not selling that 840! It was a beauty! Unfortunately I needed to let some guns go and decided to keep the 84 collection over the 840's

Anyone seen a chamber that was undersized (12Ga) below SAMMI minimum? A later Sears branded model.

Havent heard of it. Stupid question, but you sure it wasnt a 16g barrel?

 

[davesaudio]

No, was more like 5 or 7 thou under, not 65

Is the chamber clean. I have one that the shells would not eject period till I cleaned the crud out of it .

Was nice and shiny, which is why I misguidedly wasted all kinds of time fiddling with the ejector...
