I have a Winchester model 62A that I have had now quite a while, I would rate it as 99%. About eight years ago I asked the question here on this form, did Winchester ever make a mdl. 62a with a metal butt plate. A person on here using the name rec0546 answered my question by saying that he had ask the same question and he gave me a link to where his question had been answered by Bert H. Excellent explanation by Bert H. He expanded how in 1942 the war started and that plastic was a war time controlled product for the military getting first call on it. He went on to explain how Winchester had a bunch of excess metal butt plates for there model ???? So they used them in the beginning of 1942 so they could finish up the model 62a that were needing butt plates. For the life of me I can’t remember what model butt plates they used. I found my old question in my discussions, but when I go to try and bring up that link to Bert’s answer, it says page can’t be found. Can a moderator find that page? Or better yet does someone know what model butt plate they used? The ID link was ID=495897
