Sale pending- RARE SPRINGFIELD MODEL 87M SEMI AUTO RIFLE 1 OF 300 MADE
Description: J. Stevens/Springfield Model 87M Training Rifle .22 caliber, 23.5" round barrel, no S/N, military-style walnut stock with handguard and M-1 style triggerguard. Trigger guard is a cut down M1 trigger guard. This is a training rifle for the larger .30 caliber M1 rifle. Marked on the side of the receiver Springfield Model 87M and J. Stevens Arm Co. Chicopee Falls, Mass, USA in two lines. Overall length 43.5". This gun is numbered 115 of 300 under the butt plate . Research said the 87M is seldom encountered today in original configuration and is appreciating rapidly and examples in good condition are very hard to find. The 87M has taken on the mystique of the "rifle that should have been a Garand trainer or were the 300 prototypes that the gov’t decided not to buy". After the war the 87M resurfaced in the Sears Roebuck catalog as the Ranger Model 101.22. Some have also called the 87M a " T1" trainer, however the T1 was a Pederson prototype 7mm rifle that was in competition with the Garand " T3" prototype as a replacement for the military 1903/1903A Springfield Armory bolt action rifle. General McArthur demanded that the caliber be changed to 30-06 and the Garand was the winner of the competition/ placed into mass production 1940. The action of the 87M is nicknamed "Gill Gun" due to the vents on the left side of the receiver. The 87M action is also called "Clickity Clack" referring to the sound of the semi-auto action when fired. SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
