What's Included
- Winchester Model 62A Standard pump-action rifle
The Model 62A is Winchester’s refined take on the slide-action rimfire, featuring internal updates such as a coil hammer spring that set it apart from earlier Model 62 production. This example has the Standard 62A configuration with an open-top, top-eject receiver and an exposed hammer, pairing time-tested operation with classic Winchester rimfire styling.
It sports a 23-inch round barrel and a takedown mechanism for convenient carry and maintenance. The under-barrel tubular magazine provides a stated capacity of 14+1 in .22 LR, while the barrel legend confirms compatibility with .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle.
Sight alignment is straightforward with a dovetailed front blade and a semi-buckhorn rear sight with elevator. The length of pull measures 13.0 inches, offering a comfortable and traditional fit for a wide range of shooters.
Materials and finishes are true to the period: blued steel barrel and receiver, a straight-grip walnut buttstock capped with a Winchester-logo hard-rubber buttplate, and a grooved walnut slide handle. Winchester WP oval proofs appear on both the barrel and receiver, and this rifle was manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut. Identification reflects the Standard 62A configuration and excludes the Short-only Gallery variant.
