What’s Included
- Springfield Model 187R .22 S/L/LR semi-automatic rifle
Produced during the 1960–1982 Westfield period, this rifle is part of the Stevens/Savage Model 87/6/187 "Gill Gun/Click-Clack" family and carries the Springfield trade name used by Savage/Stevens. The receiver is steel with a blued finish. The barrel, near the chamber, is factory roll-marked "SPRINGFIELD – WESTFIELD, MASS. U.S.A." along with "MODEL 187R" and caliber information.
Feeding is via an under-barrel tubular magazine with a removable inner magazine tube, providing a capacity of 15+1. The action is blowback-operated semiautomatic, paired with a right-side charging handle for straightforward operation.
The 19 inch steel barrel and open sights — an unhooded front blade and a barrel-mounted rear leaf with elevator — deliver a traditional rimfire sighting arrangement. The bore condition is noted as clean with well-defined rifling.
The hardwood stock features a full forend and semi-pistol-grip profile, a black buttplate, and a front sling swivel stud. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, offering a classic rimfire fit and feel.
This model is chambered for .22 S/L/LR, operating semiautomatically with .22 LR and as a manual single-shot with .22 Short or Long. No serial number was observed, consistent with serial-exempt status for this era.
