What’s Included
- Winchester Model 62A pump-action rifle
Serial number 137913 indicates early 1942 production, placing this Model 62A squarely in the WWII era and made in the United States. It retains the exposed hammer, straight-grip stock, and the classic lines that define the 62A’s appeal to shooters and collectors.
The takedown design separates the barrel and magazine assembly from the receiver for convenient transport and maintenance. Feeding is via an under-barrel tubular magazine with a removable inner tube, and the rifle is compatible with .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle for flexible rimfire use. Capacity is 15+1.
Sighting is straightforward and precise with a dovetailed front blade and a rear leaf with a stepped elevator. The 23" barrel offers a long sight radius, and the 13.0 length of pull supports a comfortable, traditional shotgun-style shoulder mount.
Materials and finish are true to the period: a blued carbon steel barrel and receiver paired with walnut furniture. The elongated wood pump handle has a diagonal groove pattern for secure purchase. A checkered steel shotgun-style buttplate with the Winchester Repeating Arms logo completes the rifle’s original look and feel.
