questions about Cooey 64's

[anom7am]

I was thinking of buying one but I have ran across some different versions.
what is the difference between 64 and a 64b and I read somewhere about a c version also?

How hard is it to get magazines and parts?


thanks

The original's came with a plastic mag,and all it's problem's.
The later one's came with a metal mag that's more durable.
You can get a conversion kit that change's it from a plastic to a metal mag.

My 64A from the 70's has metal magazines.

Winchester/Cooey 64, was bought by Mossberg called the Lakefield 64 , then by Savage as their present day 64 series.

Ok where can I find parts and magazines for a Cooey 64b?

anyone got a manual or schematics ?
Not much info on the forums about these guns


thanks again

My god man. A Cooey 64 which they use to make and the Savage 64 which they still make are pretty much the same gun. I don't know what you are having so much trouble understanding.

You can get some parts from Numrich.

Western gun parts will also have parts. You can get a magazine right from Savage or probably anyone that handles guns.

I adore my 64's!

As stated, basically same rifle in production for 50+ years, and still going.

Search through forums on how to "love your 64", as they can be finicky. I've owned a few, and still have my first .22 (model 64 converted to metal magazines), and favourite!

anyone know where I can get a 64b trigger assembly?
seems the gun I just bought of the EE is in need of one

Ok here is what you do. Take your 64 what ever number it is apart and then go buy a new savage 64 from yor local dealer for $150. Proceed to remove it from the plastic stock and place it into the original wood 64b stock. Tighten the action screws.
Triger problem solved. And cheaper than out sourcing a replacement triger.

Try "gunrunner100" on this site. He got a trigger group for me for my 600

i have a hiawatha, any idea how many different companys have had the rights to build the 64 model?

I used to have a 64B and I really regret selling it. A wonderful little gun

Guessing here...

Cooey actually manufactured them. Cooey were pretty cool about allowing other "brand names" on their stuff...After Cooey was taken over Winchester production of the 64 continued. Then Lakefield manufactured them. Now Savage makes 'em.

I'm not aware of anyone else actually manufacturing them outside the "big 3".
