WINCHESTER Model 62 SLIDE ACTION .22 Short Gallery Gun C&R TAKEDOWN RIFLE
Post-World War II Squirrel, Rabbit, and Gallery Gun
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 62 Slide Action Rifle manufactured in 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut. With its roots dating back to the 1890s, the Model 62 is considered the best in a long line of .22 caliber pump action rifles. These handy little guns taught many a young shooter how to use a rifle and proved to be the weapon of choice to plink tin cans or spin the pinwheels at carnival shooting galleries on a warm summer day. This little rifle was basically just an upgrade to the Model 1890 designed by John Moses Browning that came out 72 years earlier in which 1.6 million had been made by 1932. Unlike the 1890, this gun was made to shoot .22 short, long, and long rifle cartridges. The Model 62 was also designed as a “Takedown” rifle. An oversized screw on the rear of the receiver, when removed, allowed the gun to break apart into two pieces for cleaning, storage, and transport.
These guns were durable and well liked. However, they didn’t have the commercial success that its predecessor did. This is largely in part because the new semi-auto rimfires rifles were similarly priced, and competitors like Colt had gathered a good bit of the market. Overall, just 409,000 Model 62s were made before Winchester pulled the plug of the handy little guns in 1959.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The stock shows some use and remains solid. Numbers match. A great and handy rifle from 1946!
