Help with missing Cooey bolt.

[Cbob]

I acquired this. Any chance if finding a bolt for this? It’s chambered in 308

Isnt the cooey 71 based on the model 70 of the same vintage, I’m thinking that avenue would be worth considering and probably easiest to find.

Mee Lawrd Cbawb, yer’ert’in me memory bank.
Iff’n it’s the same one me’n Mr H had one of each.
Me with the 308 and him with the 30:06.
Remarkably both bolts fit one nudder.
Same length action.

Hopefully my memory hasn’t faydid on this remark.

I don’t speak fluent fud but what I think yet saying is that I can look for a .308 or 30-06 both from your experience. Any maybe from a win 70 as well. Thanks!

I did some googling, and kamlooky is correct, until 1984, there was only a standard action lenght for the model 70, so yeah a 270 or 30.06 bolt should fit your action. just as you’d expect a 243 or 308 bolt too.

Just go to home Depot and look in the bolt section.
Done and done.

a model 70 bolt is different and will not work
and yes 308 and 30-06 bolt are the same in a cooey 71

The Cooey 71 did evolve from the Model 70. But quite different in many ways. Tubular receiver with sandwiched recoil lug. Trigger mechanism in a box welded to the receiver. Magazine box also welded in place. The bolt sleeve is keot in proper orientation by notches in the rear circumference of the rim of the bolt which engage the sear nose. Deep cocking cam notch and a shallow one which is engaged when the bolt is open and cocked. No detent in the bolt sleeve like a M70. Any 71 bolt with the .473" face will work.
These were economy rifles. But they do shoot well.
Worth searching for a bolt, and paying a reasonable amount for a replacement.
Headspace will need to be checked.
I'd place a WTB ad here, and start phoning the usual suspects - WGP, and all long established gunsmithing businesses.
