Need help to ID my Cooey

[Rucker]

Looking for some assistance on identifying a Cooey 22 that I inherited...it's in very bad shape but, the sentimental value is there for me.

Is this an Ace model? If so, which one? I see sport only on the receiver...so assuming it is an Ace Sport?? Manufacturer date range...it was in the family since the 30's I believe.

Also, what are the factory specs on these? The barrel is measuring 17 inches...did they come that length as the barrel doesn't appear to be cut down. Hopefully it isn't otherwise, I have a problem with it. OAL is legal...just a possible big issue with barrel length.

Thanks,
Rucker

Yours is a ,,,, "Sport .22 Long Rifle " model made in early 1920's .
The Ace is similar but most had no but plate , but made in similar time.
Most Aces had 17" barrels as all Canucks did.
Yours is most surely original @ 17".

Thanks Frank, much appreciated. I now have a sigh of relief knowing it's not a cut down prohib.

Yessir old sport. Shes seen better days for sure but sentimental value who cares. I don't think the stock is original as the sports came without a buttplate. I have a mint model without the metal plate.

Clayrod, any chance you could post a pic of yours? I'm curious what my old girl should look like?
Thanks.

here ya go, and you can see why they did away with not having buttplates.

That looks like a mint rifle...except for the missing piece at the butt. Thanks for posting Clayrod...I just need to find a couple of parts now...starting with the ball on the bolt handle.
