What’s Included
- Winchester Model 62 .22 S/L/LR pump-action rifle
The Model 62 is a slide-action .22 with an exposed hammer and a takedown system secured by a knurled receiver screw. This configuration allows the barrel/forend assembly to separate from the receiver and stock for transport or maintenance.
Its 23-inch round steel barrel is rollmarked "MODEL 62 - WINCHESTER - .22 S L OR L.R." with the address "MADE IN U.S.A. WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. - NEW HAVEN, CONN. - PATENT PENDING." These markings align with the early pre-62A configuration noted on this example.
The rifle feeds from an under-barrel tubular magazine with a listed capacity of 14 rounds. Sighting is handled by a front sight and an open rear sight with an elevator, providing a straightforward and period-correct sight picture.
Walnut furniture includes a straight-grip stock capped with a checkered hard-rubber buttplate, paired with a grooved walnut slide handle. The blued steel receiver complements the barrel, and matching serial numbers were observed on the lower tang and forward/barrel assembly.
