What’s Included
- Winchester Model 62 .22 S/L/LR pump-action rifle
This Model 62 is the standard .22 S/L/LR version, not the short-only Gallery model. It uses an under-barrel tubular magazine with a knurled magazine plug and a loading port window, with a reported capacity of 15 rounds when loaded with .22 LR.
The rifle features a 23-inch round, tapered steel barrel and a blued steel receiver. Furniture includes a straight-grip walnut stock with a shotgun-style buttplate and a grooved walnut slide handle, providing the classic handling profile expected of this model.
Sights are traditional open sights: a dovetailed front blade and an elevation-adjustable rear sight with a step elevator. The design includes an exposed hammer and the smooth pump action that defines Winchester’s rimfire pumps of this era.
It is a takedown design for easy separation of the major assemblies. Markings include the Winchester manufacturer rollmark with "PATENT PENDING," the full model and caliber legend, and oval proof stamps on the top of the barrel and receiver ring. This example represents pre-62A production prior to Winchester’s later lockwork change, and it was made in the United States.
