Spectacular Desirable Winchester Model 62A 22 Short Gallery Slide Action Rifle

Estimate: $3000 - 4750
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 dovetail front and adjustable rear sights, standard barrel markings, factory proof on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech, and "WINCHESTER/TRADE MARK" on the left side of the receiver. 17 groove flat bottom forearm and smooth straight grip stock with checkered factory hard rubber buttplate. The included box is without an end label but is correct style of box for the Model 62A rifle. The instructions, hanging tag, and warranty card are also included.
