This Cooey Model 84 made it's appearance at the range last night.
Found in a garden shed alongside the rakes, shovels and other tools it now has a safe home.
Aftermarket aluminium buttstock to rival the best from TSK
Gave it a pull through, bore is much better than the exterior.
Shoots high, have to hold about 1.5ft low on DTL targets, bit hard on your cheek, not sure I'd like to do a 2 day sporting shoot with it.Attachment 237999Attachment 238000Attachment 238001

Some things cannot be unseen

A jandal and a tin of Ados carefully applied would make a world of difference, and lift the poi.

Couldn't make it uglier either

thats a masterpiece of kiwi do-it-yourself ingenuity. Thats whats missing in todays world .....

Im not sure if should be offended or impressed by that cooey to be completely honest....give it a really good clean up, coat the cleaned up barrel etc with some sort of lasting ceracote etc and it will last for many years to come...lighter loads will help with recoil... taller bead will help lower impact,stop being a sook and get ya head down onto the ...... oops no stock there LOL.... STICK A POOL NOODLE OVER IT..... now you got a stock to stick your cheek on LMFAO...

rightho....the short stainless steel thing that looks like a faarked up .12ga shell has a .410/.45 long colt chamber in it...you can purchase these off trademe,or turn one up on lathe in short time
as for the other.......piece of jack handle/pipe the right size,bored out arse of .12ga shell,right amount of packing to hold pipe in place...surprisingly it patterns very well.... now Ive got a proper one turned up with 12" barrel section this one is just kept for the zombie apocolipse LOL....
wasnt game to use a .45lc through the short one as it would be a waste...tried one through my 12" version the other day and it went bang very nicely,shell came out nicely and the projectile landed pretty much where it was aimed 20feet away...good enough for a bailed pig etc.

Kotukus here it is
