Notes:
Up for sale is a classic piece of American rimfire history: a vintage Springfield Model 87A .22 caliber rifle.



Produced by Stevens/Savage Arms, this model is highly recognized by collectors as the iconic \"Gill Gun\" or \"Click-Clack\" rifle. It gets its legendary nicknames from the distinct exhaust vents (\"gills\") on the left side of the receiver and its unique mechanical operation.This tube-fed rifle features a fascinating design that allows it to operate as a semi-automatic when firing .22 Long Rifle, or function as a locked-breech bolt action by pushing the charging handle inward.Condition Details (Please Read):This rifle is being sold as a project gun / \"TLC special\" and is priced accordingly. It shows clear signs of its age and usage:



Metalwork: The receiver has visible surface wear, thinning finish, and areas of light rust/spot pitting (as shown in the close-up photo).



Woodwork: The factory wooden stock is solid with no major structural cracks, but displays prominent surface scratches, scuffs, and handling marks from decades in the field.Mechanical Status: The bolt cycles, but the rifle has not been test-fired with live ammunition. A thorough internal cleaning and lubrication are highly recommended before hitting the range.Whether you are looking for a nostalgic winter restoration project, a source for valuable vintage parts, or a classic budget-friendly truck gun, this Springfield 87A is an excellent candidate
