Springfield 87A Tube-feed semi-auto .22 cal rifle

Springfield 87A .22-calibre semi-auto rifle--tube feed

 
I tried to shoot this rifle, which I got from an old lumberjack friend, on two occasions this summer with the same result: The firing pin clicks but does not fire the shell.  I have to regard it as "down" and will have to take it apart to investigate, I am afraid.  It is a tube feed for LR only in that mode.  Will get around to this task when I get a little time for it.  Meanwhile there are several other .22's in the armory to sight in and evaluate.
