identify this cooey?

I'm guessing its pretty old, as it only says 22 cal, doesn't specify S,L or LR. I'd second the idea of having a smith check it before firing and to have him verify the chamber size ( some old single shots were 22 short only).
 
It may not be a Ace, ACE should have a shorter barrel and the barrel can swing around to the butt stock to make it easy for packing. I am interseting to know what model it is.

I don't think that this is true for all Aces. I believe that I have one downstairs and it is a solid 1 piece rifle, these units were sold as " Trapper Specials " I belive.

Next time you and I get to the club together I'll bring it if you want Edmund.

there are no other identifying marks on the gun.the lug has been brass soldered as well as under the bolt.the solder on the bolt is to help the bolt cycle,i'm pretty sure.the only way to open the bolt so that it will take a round is to pull the trigger while cycling the bolt so that the sear will give enough room without binding.i was told that the gun was smashed over a tree during an argument.the stock is split pretty good.also if u #### the gun and give a good rap on the stock with your fist it will fire:eek: i haven't fired it yet but might try a .22 short in it one day.the rifling is really good but the gun has been neglected.it must be about 50-100 years old i would guess.
 
ya it's pretty f***ed.i'm gonna use it for experimenting like bluing and will get it sand/bead-blasted for cheap.i might try it once carefully to see how it goes.u should have seen the lakefield 64B i got with it.the guy stored them with his pool chlorine and it spilled or the lid came off.the gun on the outside looked like it was buried in a salt-pit for a year.i did the old oil and steel wool trick on them and managed to get the 64B back to working if not pretty condition.can't wait to try the .22 semi as i loved bringing it back from critical condition.i'll post a pic if you're curious.too bad i didn't take a "before" pic...
 
Looks like a Cooey "Junior" circa 1958/60. The Stock is different though and appears to have had the forearm cut back quite a bit.....
