High bid $600.00

Status: Sold

Pump action Winchester Model 62, 22 short caliber rifle. Manufactured in 1941 based on serial number and is only chambered for a 22 short, which was typically produced for use only in a shooting gallery. However, this model does not have the triangular loading port that was typical for the gallery models. 23 inch barrel has a small amount of silvering near the muzzle but has excellent blueing throughout the barrel with fixed front and rear adjustable sights. The bore is bright and has clear rifling. Receiver, trigger and trigger guard have an excellent, dark finish with minimal fading and pump action is smooth. Hardwood forearm is ribbed with a very nice patina and a high gloss finish. The hardwood straight grip stock is in very good condition with slight darkening near the receiver but maintains a beautiful grain with a black polymer Winchester buttplate. Both the forearm and buttstock have a high gloss finish, appears to be re finished and are in very good condition. Serial number: 124890 FFL status: C and R
