Hello All
I just signed up to this group, so I'm a little new to this sight.
I have a question and hope someone can help me.
I just restored a cooey semi-auto 22 cal., that I have had for over 20 years, it was haned down, so it was time to be restored. When I took apart the trigger mecanisum 2 small springs fell out. I have no idea were the go.
1. A small spring about a 1/4" long open at both ends.
2. A small spring about 1/2-3/4" long open at one end and what looks to be a plug in the other.
I have tried to find out were they go but, I only get from the people I called was to bring it in to the shops and they will fixed it, cost range from 75.00 -125.00, I find this extremely exspensive, for what I think will take 5-10 minutes to fix, as I have not completely put the gun together.
Thank you
 
Post a picture of your trigger assembly and the springs... from what you describe the springs don't make any sense to the trigger assembly I am familiar with.

Honestly, if you can't figure gun puzzles out, you shouldn't be taking then apart... it is quite common for gunsmiths to spend a lot of time assembling a gunowners mistake only to find parts missing or broken... so you may get some higher quotes but your quotes seem excessive...
 
Cooey only made the model 64 and 64B the 64 had a plastic magazine and the 64B had a metal magazine, some 64 have been converted to B by replacing the magazine housing and magazine. The trigger assembly is not really designed to be taken apart, so if you can't figure out how the pieces go back together check out the "Exchange of Parts and Bits "section in the "Exchange of Equipment" section of this forum for a replacement trigger assembly probably about $20 held in with 2 screws. You could also try www.ebay.ca " gun parts" located in CANADA check often as it changes all the time. . Also goto http://stevespages.com/page7b.htm this should get you the manuals site, then goto "Savage rimfire autos" the Savage 64 is the same as the Cooey 64 but with a safety switch added to the trigger assembly.

Don't you love getting a plastic bag handed to you that was once a completely assembled rifle?;)
The spring setup that you are describing is pretty tough to diagnose without seeing. Post a pic of the trigger assembly and we'll walk you through it.
 
http://stevespages.com/page7a.htm does not have a 64 on it.

Got a gunshop nearby? See if they stock the Firarms Disassembly and Assembly Guides. One of them covers rimfire rifles. They usually run about $25 each, and if your gun is in there, it'd be worth it to have.

For about the same money or a bit more you can get a catalog from Numrich arms, that might have the exploded view, or Western Gunparts.

Cheers

A Savage 64 isn't a Cooey 64. Contact W. R. Long at 905-797-2700 and ask if they have a manual or drawing. They were the shop that used to be in the old Winchester/Cooey plant in Coburg, Ont.
And welcome Cujo.
 
Cooey made the model 64 and 64B, then Winchester -Cooey made the 64B, then when Winchester shut down it's operations in Canada, Lakefield/Mossberg made a version of the 64B and then Savage now makes the model 64. All of the companies made small changes but the gun is basicly the same as when Cooey made it. Savage has a bunch of extras, like heavy barrels and synthetic stocks, and the safety mentioned earlier. Yes your right the Savage 64 isn't a Cooey 64 it is a Savage 64 but the Cooey is where the design started and supposedly there is some parts interchangeability, probably with some fitting.
 
AHHHhhhhSoooooo!!

Makes more sense now. Got an error message when I tried the link in your first post, and backtracked to the "7a" page.

Explains why I had not found a link to "Savage Rimfire Autos"

The exploded diagram in that manual is not a lot of help. If you go by it, there's only two springs in the entire firearm. No useful info of the trigger group at all.
