Exceptional Boxed Winchester Model 62A 22 Short Gallery Slide Action Rifle
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. This rifle was manufactured in 1957 and features a blade front sight and adjustable rear sight, standard barrel markings with the serial number marked on the lower tang, 17 groove slide handle and smooth straight grip stock with checkered hard rubber butt plate marked "Winchester Repeating Arms Co." This model was discontinued in 1958. Complete with Winchester box numbered to gun and papers.

Excellent plus. The rifle retains 99% original finish with a few minor scratches on the sides of the receiver and on the magazine from cycling the action. The is a small area on the upper right front of the receiver of minor pitting that has been cleaned and touched up. The wood is near new with only light handling marks. The box is very fine.
