probably possible.. but would cost more than a new one.. you can get the NEF .17HMR single shot for around $200 (I think that is what I paid for mine) plus the Marlin bolt actions are not that bad.
I would also go with a HMR over the M2... I haven't even seen any ammo for the M2 around here.

Yeah, I know it'd cost more but its more about having a project to do. Everyone thinks that Cooeys are such crappy, cheap old guns. I'd like to see what one could do if a guy souped it up. And yes the HMR is faster, flatter, and more common, but I dont know where I'd find a cheap Cooey .22Mag. As far as I know they were only .22LR, L, S. I just wanna know how the barrels are attached to the reciever. Are they screwed in or clamped or what?

They are fine old guns.. I have 2 or 3 cooey .22's in my gun cabinet, and a couple shotguns..
I couldn't tell you how the barrel was installed or not...

Most basic .22 rifles have their barrels pressed in and secured with a pin or set screw. Once the pin is removed, the barrel is clamped in a padded vise and the receiver carefully tapped backward and off. Age and rust can make this difficult.
I know nothing about Cooeys - a new barrel in .17HM2 would likely need it's chamber end machined to fit the receiver. Easy enough for a good gunsmith or talented hobbiest with a lathe.
