    DD, I have a gill gun that I refinished, but it will only feed about 2 shells before it jams. If you are intimately familiar with these guns I would sure like you to take a look at it.
    BTW, it is only one of quite a few 22LR firearms.
    I'm no gunsmith by any stretch of the imagination! I've never had any problems with my High Standard or with the Stevens I gave to the grandson. I don't know that I'd be of any help. When you say "jams", do you mean it fails to eject, or stovepipes, or something else? Maybe someone else here on INGO may know what would cause the problem. I guess my standard answer to fix things of "Try rebooting" doesn't apply. :):

    It's my understanding that these 87D's are a bit of a complicated mess to keep running when they start to fail.

    I just came off of fiddling with a buddies 87D. Missing screw, parts needed bent to tune the lifter, then finally gave up and couldn't go farther.

    An odd part called the bumper was broken. The part can be replaced, but required barrel removal from the receiver. Not work for me. Nor worth paying a smith to do it.

    Love my MK4 it definitely kept me shooting last year. This year I want to get a Tac Sol 10/22 a Dead Air mask for it and a nice piece of glass. It will be spendy but very very nice


    Anyone else a fan of their rifles or is there some where else I should look?
    Well that makes me feel much better about the money I put in my 10/22 as well as my 15-22.

    Probably not on the same level as these though.

    If memory serves me, it is in the lifter area that the issue is. I will get it out again and fiddle with it some more. Thanks for the info. It is a good looking rifle. Bought it at an auction and did a complete redo. Replaced the front sight because it was bent over. Dura Coat on all the metal, refinished the stock. Came out nice. Bought it as a project gun. Had done a couple of pistols with Dura Coat, wanted to do a rifle.

    My first gun was a 12 gauge, my second was a .22. I now have a number including a Glock G44 and a S&W 15-22 both of which got extra use during the recent ammo shortage.
    I recently bought a 15-22 for training, plinking and grandkid teaching. But mostly my wife will shoot it when she comes with me to the range and so will I. It's a lot of fun. Of course, I couldn't leave it alone which would have made it an inexpensive firearm. I had to do some stuff to it, lol. It's not quite up to that Tacsol pricing, but it's plenty high.

    Have a Few. Rifles, Pistols & 1 Revolver-Colt New Frontier (w/22LR & 22Mag cylinders). Like most in this Venue, 22LR was my 1st experience in Shooting. Many a Tree Rat fell prey to my Winchester Model 190. Very Fond memories of Hunting with my Grandfather. He Preferred Squirrel over Steak as his Fav Meal & I enjoyed keeping him supplied! Thanks for this Thread & resultant Nostalgia. RIP TTD
