REALLY rough old .22...what is it???

I am new around here and coming for the classic car and off road jeep worlds You guys messed up.
This is a relay cheap hobby. I think it is part of your manhood to modify everything from the original and to restore old neglected crap. If a guy has to spend $200 resorting a old rifle and has fun doing it giver hell. I picked up a Cooey 64B and nothing is available for it. So I am having a Machinist buddy make me the parts I want. Some may say it is a waste of time and others like me say that is really cool.

Are you going to try to save the stock or are you going to try your hand at wedeling a new one?

Why would you spend $200.00 on a $10.00 gun? I mean if a fellow wants a gun to work on or restore, there are all kinds out there that give you something to start with. But to each their own.
Regarding your 64b--what parts is it that you can't find? If you can't find parts there are thousands of used ones for sale, some around the $50-$75.00 mark as parts guns. Also, the Savage model 64 that is still made today is basically the same gun. Savage bought the rights from Lakefield who bought the rights from Winchester. This gun has been around for almost 50 years.

I want a cocking handle that is longer than the stock one so I have something better to grab and I want a mag release extinction making that easier to work with. The plan is to one day get a Ruger 10/22 that has everything under the sun available. For right not this will serve the purpose.

if its rare or a collectors item fix er up

if its some common pos that no one collects and has no heirloom value to you id hand it over to the police the next time they offer a good amount of cash for "any unwanted guns" then go out and buy a new gun with the cash.....

Its usually $75 around here

LOVE IT..ha:ha:ha:...Next gun show I'm going to buy up everything I see that is either obsolete or inoperable....and make a killing!:D...Errr,you know what I mean:redface:
 
i'm holding the same rifle in my hands right now, but in better condition
as mentioned above it is a Bayard patented in 1927 made in Belgium
the patent date seems out of whack as the gun is basically the same as a lot of older than that pull to #### 22s i have seen
 
Hard to tell

Looks like a girl friend I had once, skinny, kinda shabby, she was a single shot as well.

I have an old Page Lewis i'd like to bring back, but, welllllll, reminds me of that same gal, just can't make myself do it.................d:h:
