Thread: What brand of 22?

My mate has a .22 semi auto he inherited and has no mag.
Just wondering if some one can identify it to see if I can get a magazine for it.
Cheers Andy

Looks like a Winchester model 64 semiauto. Few of them around still - and may take a mag that also fits other models.

It may also be a Cooey (from Canada). The model 64 was designed by Cooey, but Olin Winchester bought Cooey in I think the 60s and brought this model out under their name. Not entirely sure what happened next but Lakefield (another Canadian co) may have then bought the Cooey name/product line, and Lakefield of course was subsequently bought by Savage. Which is why this also looks alot like a Savage 64 semi. Like a bloody soap opera....

Serial should tell alot... as should any other markings. Where is old Muzza when you need him - he was very good with American rimfires?

Yep one of these. I think they had a diecast mag. I think the 64 was also known as something else as well

It will be stamped on the barrel in front of the scope bell. Get a stainless , non-soaped pot scourer from the supermarket and some CRC and clean the rust off . Then you be able to see make and model.

Or a piece of flat brass and oil

I will do some research on that thanks mudgripz

Cooey Model 64 - Winchester bought the Cooey company in Canada and continued to make the rifles , rebranded as Winchesters . Then sold to Savage so the rifle could be branded a Lakefield ( made by Savage ) as well

What to do about a mag then?

Yep cooey was my first thought, but I'm no expert.

Im pretty confident its a Cooey 64 or derivative.If so - this is the magazine you need . Its model specific so you wont find one from some other model to adapt. Sorry about the crap photos - not very good light in my storage vessel at night . JW 15 mag for comparison.

Yep - looks 99% like a Cooey/Winchester. Confirming this is sold as Cooey/winchester 64 mag - as in sportco's pic:

But mag changed in later Lakefield/Savage 64 derivatives:

Andy - I think you'd have to get lucky to find one. Riflemags.UK has Savage 64 spares, not the Cooey/Win.

yes - locating an original wont be easy. Mine is not for sale , sorry

Pity old muzza isn't around anymore. He'd have dozens.

steel wool an auto transmission fluid, then as soon as its clean, wash it off well with hot soapy water then clean water then meths.
then do a cold blue job
mags are going to be an issue
