Winchester Model 62A .22 S/L/LR Pump-Action Takedown Rifle, 23-Inch Barrel, Blued/Walnut, Late 1950s
This Winchester Model 62A is a late-1950s example with features sought by collectors and shooters alike. Chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle in the standard S/L/LR configuration, it uses a 23-inch round steel barrel, a 12+1 tubular magazine, and a classic takedown system with a knurled receiver screw. The serial number places this rifle near the end of Model 62A production circa 1958.

What’s Included
- Winchester Model 62A .22 S/L/LR pump-action rifle
The Model 62A combines a smooth pump action with an exposed hammer and a top-eject receiver. Its under-barrel tubular magazine uses a removable inner tube and provides a stated 12+1 capacity with .22 LR. The takedown design, secured by a knurled receiver screw, allows quick separation of the barrel/forend assembly from the receiver for transport and maintenance.
The 23-inch round steel barrel is paired with open sights: a dovetailed front blade and an elevator-adjustable rear leaf. This simple, proven sighting arrangement complements the rifle’s versatile .22 S/L/LR chambering.
Metalwork is blued steel throughout the barrel and receiver. The stock set is walnut, featuring a straight-grip buttstock with buttplate and the later 62A-style long, deeply grooved fore-end for a secure pumping stroke. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
Built in the United States during the 1950s, this rifle’s serial number indicates late Model 62A production circa 1958. It retains the standard S/L/LR configuration rather than the Short-only gallery pattern, adding flexibility for a range of .22 loads.
