STEVENS 87D: BROKEN FIRING PIN. FIX

[@jasonwills7277]

Badly waiting for your video big brother.

Thanks. I try to create videos when I am truly inspired and busy with a project and have something to show for it. I don't want to chase likes or subscriptions with mindless clips.

Thats a cool rifle! Is the bolt supposed drop upon the reset like that? Like a quasi- open bolt?

[@STEINBVG]

It is closed bolt design. They call it click clack gun. While holding the trigger, the bolt stays back. Letting go slams the bolt forward picking up a round and keeping the hammer cocked. Reset. Supposedly this delay was good for more reliable feeding. It does look funky. I love it.

Looks UK legal. If it's center fire. But I think you can have a normal blow back semi about in the UK if it's in 22LR.

[@STEINBVG]

I would not know. It,s definitely legal in the USA.

Nice that you could find a spare and get it working again. Love those older Stevens 22s though I favor the bolt action over the semi autos if nothing else for being quieter. Mine's the 66C. Those click-clack 87s are so weird with the bolt release.

[@STEINBVG]

It actually can work as bolt action , locking the bolt handle in the battery position. Then you can hand feed short and long 22-s…only 22 LR WORK in semi auto. As for the bolt stop at the rear before releasing the trigger- I like it. And I believe this delay produces more reliable feeding as it slows down the cycling. Thanks

@@STEINBVG Ahh yes I'd forgotten that I'd heard about that detail on the bolt somewhere before. Have not been lucky enough to use one so I wasn't up to speed on it. Sort of the best of both worlds then.

[@STEINBVG]

Correction. Feeds as bolt action manually from the mag any 22 rounds.

A clickety clack that is not a DPM! 😂 My friend the unknown cat worked extensively with these - a great guy. I have fettled the Armscor #20, quite a little mousetrap. If only Wolfe would make a spring kit for them! I have heard one pro opinion that the Armscor was modeled after the Reising.I am not certain of that as the Reising is inclined plane delayed blowback and the Armscor is straight blowback.

Thanks for info

Hello sir, do not upload videos from the Thompson channel, because that old man is about to go to prison for terrorism, there is no need to make him famous, everything has already been reported and you should not publish what he does.

[@STEINBVG]

Thanks for the info. But on my channel, I alone will decide what I should or should not publish.

@@STEINBVG You do what you want, I'm just telling you that the old man from the Thompson channel is a criminal wanted by the authorities.
