Custom Winchester Marked Deluxe Model 62A Gallery Slide Action Rifle with Box
When the Model 1890 and 1906 were dropped from production in 1932, Winchester introduced the Model 62 to take their place. Winchester offered this Gallery version chambered for the .22 short only. Gallery guns have a triangular loading port which the standard models did not have. A change in the breech bolt mechanism brought about the change in the name designation from Model 62 to 62A. Manufactured in 1958, the rifle has a blade front sight and adjustable rear sight, with the left side of the receiver marked "WINCHESTER / TRADE MARK" highlighted in red and standard barrel marking with "22 SHORT" on the left side. Nicely figured straight grip stock with checkered wrist and forearm and a checkered Winchester buttplate. Complete with box numbered to gun and hanging tag.
