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

    Hello YC,

    The Model 62A was introduced in January of 1940 at circa serial number 99,200. The primary difference between a Model 62 and the 62A is the type of main spring/hammer spring used (the Model 62A has a coiled hammer spring versus a flat spring). A model 62 will have four holes in the lower tang, whereas the 62A will only have a single hole (for the stock tang screw). The serial number on the bottom forward edge of the frame and the lower tang will tell us when it was manufactured. Typical values run from $450 - $1000 (depending upon the exact graded condition).
