Check out the equipment exchange for older Cooey rifles. If it is a Cooey, it should say something to that effect on the barrel ahead of the chamber. Use extra fine steel wool and oil to clean the rust off, and you should see a makers name or some other written information to follow. Let us know what you find out.
 
Looks very much like the Mossberg 146 series stock. When Lakefield- Mossberg took over from Winchester ( Olin) they used up a lot of left over parts and many Cooey barrels and actions were put into Mossberg woods. The early Lakefield Mark III is as good example. This gun looks like the Cooey 60 workings put into a Mossberg 146 wood stock, making it a hybrid.

Oh believe me I would have no problem finding out what it was if I actually had it.. as of now it is in RCMP control in BC waiting for me to get them registered and shipped here to Ontario. As of now I have 4 of 5 registered and awaiting approval of one handgun that was seized... the only thing I am dreading is the shipping bill.
 
The stock hold down nut and trigger guard are definitely Cooey and by the looks of the mag tube, it slides rearward as does the Model 60 mag, and the bolt is Cooey. Many of the changeover rifles were not stamped for either company , but the useage of already manufactured parts. Many rifles were made for companies like Sears, Eatons etc. and simply had the word "repeater, eatonia etc. imprinted onto the action or barrel.
