It's a bolt action, and a semi-auto, WTH??

I think the model 87 is their gill gun.

Thanks, never seen one

Could be, after I fixed it up it's been in the safe. Probably going on 3 years so don't trust my memory! What were we talking about?

HA HA that picked me up for the whole afternoon

Here's one I fixed up and gave to my grandson for Christmas last year.

I went ahead and ordered the heavy barreled version of the Olympia from Classic today. They said they didn't get the proper paperwork from the importer with this batch to list them as C&R eligible.

Good trivia question for you gill gun fans, What is the purpose of the gill??

My first instinct is cooling, but I don't think that's correct. I'm going to go with keeping the bolt clean. Which may not be correct either.

Well you learn new things everyday. Thanks for sharing such a unique firearm, and for the reminder that even "modern" doesn't equate to best.

Picked up the Beretta today. I like it. Very solid little rifle. Now I just need to make time to get to the range.

I happen to have a picture of an instruction sheet for a model 87. Enjoy.
