The Sureshot shotgun was made by Cooey Machine and Arms company of Cobourg, Ontario, Canada. Cooey was purchased by Winchester-Western and produced rifles and shotguns under the name of Cooey, Winchester-Cooey, and Winchester.
The serial number is on the passenger side of the receiver, just rear of the barrel. If there is no serial number your cooey was manufactured before 1968, when no s.n. was required.
By the serial number on the rifle.
Winchester bought Cooey in 1961.
cooey 410 gauge model 840 Winchester Canada. single shot
Cooey made the sure shot but was bought out by Winchester so its a Winchester cooey manufacture Hope that helps
Well, a model 39 .22 implies to me that it may be a Cooey or Winchester/Cooey. The only thing is Cooey never put serial numbers on their rifles. Winchester did after they bought Cooey around WW II. So therefore I would say post 1964 for your rifle.

Model 75 was made from 1931-1961 by Cooey (Canada) and then bought out by Winchester who made them as Model 750s until 1978. If you have no serial number that is due to the change in the Manufacturing laws. 1968 and after should have serial numbers.
your Winchester mod 750 is probably a 1964,that is when they bought cooey and made the most .22's The Olin Company ( Winchester) took over in 1961. If it has no serial numbers, it would have been made between 1961 and 1968 when serials were required on each gun. Cooey made the most different models before 1961..at least 29 recorded models
Around 1967 is my best guess. Canada did not require serial numbers until 1961. That was the year that Winchester bought Cooey, and continued manufacture until the mid 1970s. Unfortunately we do not have a public database on Cooey SNs.
COOEY was a Canadian firearms manufacturer in business from 1931-61 in Cobourg, Ontario. Winchester bought them and produced/sold firearms in Canada. The Cooey 82 single shot was a WWII training rifle made for the miitary during the war.
