School me on cooey m82 rifle

[billyboyr6]

I was at a buddys house recently who was in the process of moving and told me that everything that was still in his garage was most likley to go in trash. So looking around i spot an old rifle standing in the corner and ask him about it. He told me to take it with me. He also told me that it was in his garage when he moved in to that house 30 some years ago. Not being a gun guy he has never even fired it.

From the google i gather that they were ww1 or ww2 training rifles for the canadians. And that a bunch of them were destroyed when they were finished with them. Not sure how true or false that is and is why im asking for info here.

Ill get some pics up soon and show it off.

Here's a pretty good write up on them. Neat rifles.

That's an interesting little piece. Is it for sale? I'd be interested if the price were reasonable.
