What do I have ?

[Grizzly Adams]

I picked this up at an auction, with the intent of doing a project. No markings on the gun itself, but it's obviously a Cooey with a somewhat nicely reworked stock, the butt plate however is marked Custom Styled Guns by Judd, Waterford Ontario.

Looks allot like an older Cooey 39 with a custom stock. I don't remember the receiver being milled like that (for a peep sight?) but maybe it was customized...? That or I don't remember it right.

Former Cooey 82 maybe? They had peep sights installed back there.

That butt plate is sort of sad - my books tell me that the butt plate / recoil pad should follow the lines / surfaces of the wood stock - so should be a long tapered toe on the pad - appears gone or worn off - is that a metal plate protruding? Might be an unusual old pad, but really is almost all wrong - should not be screw heads showing, either.

The nut on the action screw and the pad with an exposed slot screw looks a little Mickey Duck.
Did it not come with a bolt?
Sure hope you did not overpay!
So what would the project be?

That is my thought as well, with a home made stock.
I may have a mount for a scope that mounts in the 2 holes on the receiver.

Now that I think about it, a 82 was a repeater, so not that one. Don't know.

you have a bubba custom gun was a cooey model 39

82 is single shot, i got a full wood one.

 

[wkp774]

Cooey rear sight shouldnt have a dovetail, at least my five are screwed on.

 

[gunsaholic]

Possibly a Cooey model 78 or 82 in a different stock. How long is the barrel?

I am getting old.

Some types - maybe Cooey? Have a slotted screw showing - but screw goes into a dovetailed insert, underneath the rear sight.

have not seen that in a parts search for cooey.

You might be correct - the little single shot that I have is not a Cooey - is a Lakefield with that screw into the dovetail insert. The Cooey 39 that is here has the rear sight into a dovetail - no screw. I have one Cooey 60 left here - has a scope - no rear sight in it - just a dovetail in the barrel - not sure what it used to have there.

Maybe a change from cooey to winchester but never seen a cooey without barrel markings. I have both.

Go here - (delete the space in https) htt ps://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/winchester/rifles-win/cooey-series/cooey-39 - third row down shows the nut for the dovetail slot, the screw and the rear sight - says is for Cooey 39, 60, and many other Cooeys listed. The rear sight in this Cooey 39 must not be an original Cooey rear sight.

That crack in the stock nor that nut is adding any value to it.
I’ve seen worser.

Iff’in it shoots gooder, truck munkey it is.
