Exceptional Winchester Model 62A 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 1987 and features a blade front sight and adjustable rear sight, standard barrel markings with the serial number marked on the lower tang, and the desirable "WINCHESTER / TRADE MARK" marking on the left side of the receiver. The Winchester oval proof appears on the top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. Mounted with a 17 groove forearm and smooth straight grip stock with checkered hard rubber buttplate marked "Winchester / Repeating / Arms Co." This model was discontinued in 1958.

Excellent plus. The rifle retain 99% of the bright original finish with loss limited to the concealed sides of the barrel from cycling the action, otherwise there are only light handling marks overall. The wood is excellent plus with only light handling marks. Sharp markings. The action is excellent.
