This system seems like a good way to get around semi auto bans in other countries. If they define semi auto as shooting ejecting as reloading per one *pull* of the trigger, well this doesn’t do the reloading part until the release part, so under that definition technically not semi auto 😉
It’s a Springfield 87A, we’ve had one passed down from my great-grandpa, if you push the bolt in you have to manually cycle it but if you leave it out, it’s semiautomatic.
And if you hold the trigger back after firing it will hold the bolt back. My Dad brought home basically the exact same rifle years ago, it’ll digest anything you feed it and fairly accurate for a semiautomatic
I’ve got one of these. Mine has a plastic stock that smells like old cheese BUT besides that it’s a very fascinating rifle. Gives off 1950’s raypunk vibes
My father had one when I was a kid over 60 years ago. It was a SAVAGE semi auto model. It is not exactly a bolt action. It is designed to shoot LR's with the bolt in or out. It will shoot shorts and longs but will not fully eject them due to less back pressure. So the bolt is pushed in to keep the shorter empty shell from jamming the action. The shorter rounds could be ejected by hand without having to remove a jammed fired shell.
I saw an interview where Jack Warne stated they simply reversed engineered the Springfield to make the Sportco line of semi-automatic 22s. The box mag Sportco 71 was a bloody good bunny belter
@@cltnthecultist I had a Russian Olympic style target Pistol in .22 that was the same. I finally used a Q Tip soaked in Brasso polish held in a battery drill to polish ALL the crud out of the chamber lead in to the rifling. This stopped the gripping of the case by the crud and stopped the failure to feed, failure to fire (light primer strike as the cartridge was wedged back a few thou and the strike was absorbed by the case going forward to seat properly)...and failure to eject (as the now fully forward case jammed from the crud and refused to extract.... YMMV
100% It has something like a bent paper clip that holds the rounds back from double feeding. Its either to loose or too tight. I messed with it until it broke. the gun is a jamomatic.
Hmm, yes indeed. It’s a fantastic cartridge, even if it was 20 cents/round. Not sure I want to be around for when that happens, but it’s probably going to happen.😱🤷🏻♂️
Not a bolt action, my friend has one of these Springfield 87A's. The cocking knob on the side can be push in to engage a circler depression in the receiver. When fired this simply prevents the bolt from going to the rear in its normal blow-back method of operation. Think of it as a Single shot capable semi-automatic instead.
This charging handle appears to be what is commonly referred to as "awful". Even though i like the design and i think this would go quite well with a silencer.
Mine is a Steven's model 82. I have the Bakelite stock version. The bolt moving into and out of battery is louder than the gunshot. Amazingly accurate, too, due to the stupid long barrel.
My Father In Law passed one of these down to me, he called it a gill gun, its so cool and its fun to shoot. Also can shoot .22 short and holds a few more loaded that way, but you have to use it in bolt mode as those dont have enough to cycle it in semi. Its accurate and the finish still looks great. The one in the video looks well preserved as well. Nice video!
The old "clicker clackers" made by the millions in the 50s, order them from sears for 15 dollars, now theyre becoming a little bit of a hot commodity in working order....
Ive had my little Springfield for 30+ years and always thought it was a quirky cool great little rifle. I always thought it was so cool that the bolt stayed open till you let off the trigger. But i swear i NEVER knew you could lock it closed and fire it one at a time!! Even cooler now!! Why didnt i know this!!?? Thanks for the great video!!
I have one of these that’s been passed down through my family. My grandpa gave it to me and his dad gave it to him. Still runs great and it’s taken a hell of a beating
I own a 1946, Mossberg 46B 22 long rifle, bolt action the only difference between the sea model and the beam model is the metal pipe sites. The C model was used for training US Army troops before they let them have the M1 Garand rifle for training. Yes I have the Peepsight what a wonderful rifle it is to shoot I know you were enjoying that one that looks really interesting.
I saw one of these in real life only once. Of course, the ammo we had wasn't the best, so bolt actions, and this really shined that day. It's easily the coolest 22 I've ever shot.
.22s are (to me) the most adorable-dangerous toy-weapons out there. They're just so innocent looking but it'll still put you down for the long nap if you aren't careful.
I have one of those I inherited from my dad. As a kid, I used it around the farm to control birds and rodents around the barn buildings. I think mine is a bit older because the trigger guard is steel instead of the plastic looking on that one.
I had a buddy that had one of these i used to go plinking with all the time. I want to say it was a savage. He normally used a 10/22 but once he got that he used it for 3 or 4 sessions of us goofing around in the back yard. Seemed to be a very accurate rifle, i was impressed with it, the elevator got tweaked somehow and would spit all the shells in the tube into the action locking it all up. I got that straightened out gor him and he pawned it shortly thereafter. Sure woulda liked to had it, it was gone before i knew what he had done.
I grew up with this make and model rifle! Incredibly efficient, accurate, and nearly indisputable!! My grandfather would bet anyone willing to compete with me, They chose the distance of their choice with a soda can... When they made their choice my grandfather would tell them to lay it down and point the mouth opening towards me betting I would shoot into the mouth opening leaving only a exit hole in the bottom of the can! I made out pretty well lol
I have one of these i inherited from my great grandfather. Ive shot what we refer to as the "vinyl" as it has a vinyl stock on it, hundreds of times and never knew rhe function of the knob on the bolt. I just assumed it was a second safety. Thanks for this. Now I have a conversation starter at our next family meeting.
I have 1 that belonged to my Great-grandfather. Ordered straight out of the Montgomery Wards catalog. It's a Wards Westernfield. It's a semiautomatic with a locking bolt so that you can shoot 22 shorts and longs without malfunction. Because in semiautomatic it only functions with the long rifle cartridge. But this firearm is capable of firing all 3 types. It's also a very accurate gun. Even to today's standards. Nice fine sights. And believe it or not. Actually has the 22 scope slots from the mfg. Mine has fed my family too many times to count!❤(-:
I bought a marlin model 60 from a pawn shop for $50 and it’s probably the gun I’ve shot most. Probably like ten or fifteen thousand rounds through it. Not the most reliable with cheap ammo, but dead accurate at 100m. Love 22
BoltAction engaged is for shooting 22short since they don't have the powder to work the blowback. Gun should be able to short 22 short 22 long and 22 long rifle. Great gun

Except the reloading mechanism can accidentally trigger the rounds when dropping them in if they are rimfire.
I've never seen a trigger system like that before! Very cool!
It'll take a lot of practice but it's worth it!
Almost like it could fire from an open bolt

@@PopeOfTheBullpuptistChurch
Technically is a bitch. It would be a great work around.
There's a pistol that sort of has the opposite effect where holding the trigger is actually what locks the slide closed
It’s a Springfield 87A, we’ve had one passed down from my great-grandpa, if you push the bolt in you have to manually cycle it but if you leave it out, it’s semiautomatic.
I first thought a Savage m29 ... another "gill" type from the era.
I am guessing it's for subsonic ammunition, the bolt.
Had one. short, long, or long rifle; long rifle only as semi automatic.
Very pretty
And if you hold the trigger back after firing it will hold the bolt back. My Dad brought home basically the exact same rifle years ago, it’ll digest anything you feed it and fairly accurate for a semiautomatic
Just like the Stevens .22 my grandfather gave me years ago. Great rifle and very accurate.

Tenho um igual,stivens armes corporeitions
Esses meu com o nome de stivens, é um excelente rifle,não sei a data de fabricação
looks so cool and kinda cute this .22 rifle. Very nice rifle indeed
With the old Stevens I have, you only lock the bolt for 22 short. If you're running LR leave the bolt unlocked so it can cycle and fire semi-auto.
My brother's and I grew up with this rifle. It was the only .22 we had. My brother inherited it when Dad passed.
Is the bolt dropped when you release the trigger?
Yes
Open bolt? Nyes.
if hold the trigger after fire can reload again? thanks.
@@atomic_wait An open bolt fires from the open position - this is closing the bolt and firing from a closed position.
@@kangarumpyhe was mixing no and yes
I own same rifle... Very accurate and works well, mine is marked as a springfield 87A
Should also say “ j. Stevens arms, Hartford, ct.
I have one of these but never shot it.. I just realized a little special something can happen with a slight modification
Very Easily. That's why ATF said No more, LOL
Same , makes me want to actually go shoot it now

The bolt action mode is meant to facilitate the use of shorts and longs, while the long rifle can be fired semi auto
I had a sportco model 87a which was exactly the same as this rifle. It was a quirky firearm
I saw an interview where Jack Warne stated they simply reversed engineered the Springfield to make the Sportco line of semi-automatic 22s.
The box mag Sportco 71 was a bloody good bunny belter
mine was a Marlin Glenfield Model 60, great gun
The only similarity between this rifle and a Model 60, is that they are both tube-fed.
Still have mine, great firearm got the squirrel's on it
Very unique
I love guns of all kinds this slow but cool factor for sure
This is probably one of the best videos to showcase how this thing works in a short video.
Whoever made that trigger/bolt function the way it was is a genius.
I inherited this same .22 from my dad, who was gifted it from his dad. Awesome lil pew.
Now that's a recoiless rifle
Gums in movies be like:
No shit its a .22
My buddy has one of these. If it fully cycles a round, it’s a celebration.
Clean it.
Lubricate it.
Use good ammo.
Clean it.

Wow Thats like the Italian thing from ww1. Really interesting:)
Savage, Stevens and Springfield made variations of this rifle, which I call the "Click-clack Action" for obvious reasons. Mine was decently accurate.
My son has all 3 of them, collecting old .22s is very interesting. I even found a vintage Weaver 4x scope and the mount for it.
very unique- nice firearm
I have one myself. Her name is Click-Clack and she was made in the 1930's

Super interesting. Bolt-action part reminds me of the Stevens 124c shotgun found in H3VR
thats a sexy gun right there. Kind of reminds me of an SKS, idk why

Woooooah, the bolt resets after releasing the trigger?
I own it and I love it, so special and just excellent.

Weird, never heard of a bolt action/semi-auto. Sounded like some kind contradiction to me. But now that I have seen it work, it's pretty cool.
Thats a pretty niffty gun. Ive never seen an one like it before.
