Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Savage/Stevens/Springfield clones were manufactured for several years, starting in the 1930s. These rifles, often referred to as "gill guns" due to the vents in the side of the receiver, are unique for a couple of reasons. Unusually for a semi-automatic .22, they can shoot .22 shorts, longs, and long rifles. The shorts and longs must be fired using the rifle as a bolt-action, while .22LR rounds are the only ones that will cycle the semi-automatic action. Another unusual feature is that in semi-automatic mode, the bolt does not close until the trigger is released. This led to a second nickname for these rifles, "clackety-clack" guns.
For sale in this lot is a Springfield / J. Stevens Model 87A semi-automatic rifle, chambered in .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle. The rifle utilizes a 24" round barrel, rear notch sight, with a bead/blade front sight, and a single-piece hardwood stock. The rifle is marked in numerous places: "Springfield - J. Stevens Arms Company - Chicopee Falls, MASS. U.S.A. - Model 87A" on the top of the barrel, in front of the rear sight, ".22 Short Long or Long Rifle - Long Rifle Only As Automatic" on the left side of the barrel, underneath the rear sight, and "2094577 Patents 2224758 - 2223093 RE22585 2271576" on the right side of the barrel, underneath the rear sight. The 87A was manufactured between 1938 to 1965, with pre-1945 examples showing a checkered stock. This rifle is circa 1945-65.
