Couple Cooey 60 repeater questions

[waterwheel]

I jpicked up a cheap cooey 60 and have just cleaned and lubed it all. Two questions have arisen.

1) When I cycle it, the bolt slides right out the back end. Obviously I've misalgned something that stops the bolt from coming right out the back end when I open the chamber. That seems to be the trigger, which also seems to be functinoning fine. . What should I adjust to correct this?
2) the bolt itself is a tarnished brown. I'd like to restore it to all shiny. How can I do this?

Thanks,

It sounds like the riser is not engaged in the bolt?

You can bring the shine back with some sand paper (600 grit or so)

The nut that is where the stock screw goes in needs to be adjusted. For the tarnish I use wet/dry sand paper and wet sand with 1000-1500 grit.

Son of a gun, thanks everyone - that worked! The rifle is cycling like new now .

I'll have to get to shining up the bolt this weekend. Gotta love how these old junk cooeys turn into a beautiful antique with just a bit of cleanup.

Better try fine steel wool with Hopes'
