Just finished restoring my Cooey

[JohnnyNitrous]

Thought I would share my latest project. Got this given to me by my grandfather-in-law. Tell me what you guys think!





Scope is Leupold rimfire, stock is finished in linseed oil, had the barrel cut and crowned by Joe Dlask then re-blued, polished bolt and trigger.

I'm thinking you did a pretty good job on that Cooey. I have one exactly the same that could use some TLC as well, hope it comes out as nice as yours did.

Great Job. I am working on a Model 39 that needs lots of work.

Thanks. I wasn't sure I would be able to save it. It was stored in an attic for many years and the last 4" or so of the barrel was exposed to moisture and rusted out. Dlask was able to cut it down and save it without losing non-restricted status. Camera not so great at showing how good the finish is, but I am very happy with how it turned out. Hope to get out and test this weekend.
