Feets / Collection / My build Updated Cooey 60

Post image

Modified my ol' Cooey quite a bit since I last posted. Ended up getting a non-functioning spares rifle for $50, so now it has some official parts!

Most of the tape was replaced with some tin plating I made by cutting up a decorative wall sign and secured with self-tapping screws; the foreplate goes over the barrel to secure it in the stock otherwise the entire action rocks. The braided steel cable is mostly for show but does add grip to an otherwise mostly smooth plate. This stock is definitely sturdy now.

The McDonald's napkins are now gone as I have a magazine tube ring and proper action screw now, as well as a factory trigger guard.

Most important are the repaired sights, so it's now shootable with some semblance of consistency in accuracy instead of guessing.

Sir, Herbert Cooey is rolling in his grave right now. You be kind to that piece of Canadian Heritage! That thing is a vibe check.

I'd like to think he'd be laughing that one of his rifles got so abused that the bolt handle bent backwards yet still refuses to die in spite of missing half the parts when I started 😂
