very nice

You did a nice job, the wood is not to shabby either. This is the old model stock and the Mohawk was the precurser to the model 75. Is yours labeled model 75? If not it would date it to 1938-----Cowboy
 
I'll check in the safe tomorrow, but I think the gun is labelled "Cooey Model 75 Mohawk". I will check tomorrow to be sure. I didn't know this gun was that old. The stock was in horrible shape when I got it. Lots of scratches, murky chocolate stain covering up the grain. It even had nail polish on the stock.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how nice the wood was underneath!

Looks nice. I have an old Ranger Repeater that could win any ugly gun contest. I may have to have a go at it.
 
Real nice wood on that stock....good job re-finishing! You would either need a Weaver side mount and rings or a two piece tip off scope base to bridge the loading port in order to mount a scope on it. Receiver would require drilling and tapping in both cases. There is currently no "NO Gunsmithing" scope mounts avail for them. In either situation, it'll likely cost you more than the value of the rifle to scope it too. Hope this helps...

Thats interesting. Your model was made between 1937 and 1939. I take that the first models were labeled Cooey Mohawk 22 cal. , then the model 75 was added. In 1939 the Cooey Mohawk was dropped and the model 75 was born. Interesting part of Canadian history. I'm glad your keeping it original.-----Cowboy
 
Thanks for the information Cowboy. I am amazed at how good the bluing is on this gun for being that old. This gun is a real tackdriver too. I have shot lots of 5 shot groups uner 1/2" at 25 yards with open sights. One big hole groups. I am sure with a good scope on it it would easily shoot under 1/2" at 50. The other thing I have noticed with the long barrel is how quiet this gun is with standard velocity ammo.
