The Cooey 84 is a shotgun manufactured by the H. W. Cooey Machine & Arms Company in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada (later acquired by the Winchester Arms Company). The shotgun was sold as the Model 84 1948-1967 when, following acquisition by Winchester, it was sold as the Model 840 until production ended in 1979.
