Need some help Identifying this .22

[chadvector]

I think it's a Cooey, but I've no idea the model. Got it from my Granddad's estate. Once I figure out what it is, be it Cooey or Frankengun or whatever, I need to find a new trigger assembly. The old one barely holds the bolt.

Any help would be appreciated!

This leads me to believe it's a Cooey, right?

But the metal band around the end of the stock... I've never seen that before in my (limited) experience. Any ideas?

I'm told my Granddad bought this back in the 60's at a police auction for the princely sum of $2. Although it's very beat up, I've fired it a few times and it's extremely accurate, so I'd love to totally re-do it and have something for my kids to remember their Great Granddad with.

Thanks for reading!

If I remember correctly, "Sure Shot" was an Eatons name. The rifle was made by Cooey.
Cooey always made good barrels!

The stock w/band look to be from a M82 training rifle.

I'm starting to think it's a frankengun. Crapola... Now where would I find a trigger assembly?

Model 82 cooey as it has the flat peep sight mounting point on the action.

M82s were not marked "SURE SHOT".

Yes! An 82 stock without the forend and missing the peep-sight! Thanks, Toymaker!

How long is the barrel? This to me looks like a couple rifles put together. I have never seen a sure shot with the second dove tail with a 27" barrel. Is there any numbers on the bottom of the stock?

the stocks can be interchanged on many models but rarely is the metal altered . Cooey made rifles for many different corporations and this may be one of the end of stock fill in items. but stock is a two piece full length previously.

Also because of the lack of rust in the peep slot, and lack of dirt in the threaded hole, i think some owner took off the peep as it may be sold for as much as the rifle and installed a rear sight. i had one just like it, stamped model 82. but the stock had been rasped round at the front end.

just my opinion

Yep, I think you're on the right track. Because the gun was bought at a Winnipeg police auction back in the 60's or 70's, the peep sight could have ended up anywhere. Also, the previous owner was a guy named 'Vic'. I know this because Vic carved his name in the stock.

I DID give the gun a thorough cleaning, so that may account for the lack of dirt in the threadhole.
