I just picked up one of these at a local pawn shop. It's a very unique looking .22 semi-automatic. Does anybody have information on this rifle? Where can I get a manual? All help is appreciated.

    I'm looking at a 87A auto .22 with issues, the most puzzling is what Numrich calls the "locking bolt" other words the handle used to pull the bolt back.It can slide left or right to release or lock the bolt open or closed, simple right. Question. What is supposed to hold the bolt in the unlock position so the action will cycle when fired.
    I can't find a diagram to see what is missing, any ideas.

    The Springfield model 87 is one of the line that began in 1938 as the Savage Model 6. Over the years it was modified w/mostly cosmetic or magazine type changes until discontinued in the mid 1960's. Was marketed under the Savage, Stevens and Springfield logos. As well as a host of store brands.
    The 87 is the same as model 86, except for cosmetic changes. The Springfield brand name was dropped in 1948.
