There are several reasons why your Savage Model 87A .22 may not fire. Common issues include a faulty or worn firing pin, a dirty or obstructed chamber, or problems with the ammunition itself, such as old or improperly stored rounds. Additionally, check the magazine to ensure it is properly seated and feeding rounds correctly. If these components seem fine, it might be best to consult a gunsmith for a more thorough inspection.
The first model 87A was made from 1938-1945.There was also a Stevens model 87 semi-auto that was made in the early 1980,s.
