Anybody own a Stevens 887?

Just saw a video on some one shooting one. How hard would this be to get used to. Are they safe?

I had a 887 for many years and it was a good shooter for me and my kids but it was just slower to cycle then other auto 22s. sold mine a fews months back here for 215.00

I see some with the bolt locked back how do you do that?

I had a Springfield 187 for a while, same rifle. Worked fine once I understood that they were designed to work like this. Like most things that are a little different this too has a cult following...
Lots of info on Rimfire Central. Search for "gill gun".....Referred to that because of all the cooling slits on the left side of the receiver.

Okay push the bolt handle in when all the way back, there is a hole in the receiver that the bolt handle fits into when pushed left.

Most of them had another hole for the bolt handle that turned it into a pseudo bolt action by locking the bolt closed.
