The Model 62A is a pump-action rimfire with a takedown system that allows the barrel and receiver to separate via a takedown screw, making transport and maintenance straightforward. This example retains the standard sporting configuration, not the gallery variant, and uses a top-eject action.
It feeds .22 Short, .22 Long, or .22 Long Rifle interchangeably from an under-barrel tubular magazine with a stated 14-round capacity. The inner magazine tube is removable for loading and maintenance.
The rifle is built on blued carbon steel with a 23-inch barrel and an exposed hammer. Sighting is via a front blade set in a dovetail and an open rear sight with a stepped elevator, providing a traditional and practical sight picture.
Walnut furniture includes a straight-grip stock with a checkered hard-rubber buttplate and a long, grooved walnut forend (approximately 17 grooves). Winchester WP proof marks are present, and the receiver and tang carry matching serial numbers. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
