Designed, and introduced in 1932, as the spiritual successor to the venerable Model 1890, the Model 62 brought Winchester's most popular slide action into a new age. By using the Model 1906 carrier with magazine cutoff, the Model 62 was able to use .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle interchangeably without needing to swap barrels. Fitted with a beaded blade front and elevation adjustable rear sights and is marked with the first style barrel inscription on the left near the chamber. The barrel and frame are marked with Winchester "WP" proofs at the chamber. The receiver is marked "WINCHESTER/TRADEMARK/MADE IN U.S.A." on the upper tang and with the single digit serial number "2". Mounted in a 10 groove slide handle and straight grip walnut stock with checkered steel buttplate.
