I was given a rifle from my Father which actually belonged to my Grandfather. It is a model 62A 22S L or L R and am trying to find out some history, it has the single screw on the left side and has a serial number starting 259000 range with matching serial numbers. Not interested in selling, just would like to know about the weapon, thanks

    I'v been looking at a 62A, I'm thinking it must be a gallery gun, but the serial #s on the barrell don't match the receiver, but I'm thinking these had parts switched often, the barrell has the chain loop, I'd say it's about 50%+ gun. Any ideas on value???? Also what does a roll reciever mean or look like notrediyet Thanks

    Hello

    I was wondering if you had any information on a gun left to me by my Grandfather. The gun is a Winchester 62A 22 pump with a round barrel.

    I have a Winchester model 62a with the smooth short pump. It has what looks like an aftermarket rear peep sight. the serial number is 722XX, a five digit serial number. The stamp says it shoots 22 short, long and long rifle. Anyone out there familiar with these or what their value might be? Thanks in advance.

    This seems the best place to ask a question I've been pondering for quite some time about the age and value of a Winchester Model 62A that was my Grandfather's. It's all stainless with a very light tan stock, which also has a carved design. Serial # is 386XXX. Definitely a Winchester, not a Taurus or Rossi. Any Help? Thanks.

    Have a winchester 62A that appears to be refinished,but also the trigger assembly has gaps and will not fit correctly. the rifle will not feed from the magazine.
    Question: Who can correct this problem and restore the rifle to working condition? Thanks

    Dot,
    Welcome to the forums. We need the serial number so we can tell you the year of manf. If you want a value, pictures are a big help. Read the sticky at the top of the page for posting photos. The model 62A is an update of the model 1890, they were introduced in 1940, todays value can range anywhere from $130 to more than $1000 depending on condition, and variations.

    Just saw this message, would you mind telling me the date of Mfg
    of my Winchester 62A.. S/N 116143......
    The sites I've checked all come back with 1940, but since the 62A started in 1940, I'm not convienced that this S/N really is that early . Thank you very much

    The Model 62 was introduced in 1932 (first delivery to warehouse stock was in April of 1932). The 62A was born on September 8th, 1938, but did not appear until late 1939 (circa serial number 98,000). Serial number 169315 was manufactured in March of 1946.
