Rare Pre-War Winchester Model 62 Slide Action Gallery "5 Spot" Rifle

Manufacturer: Winchester
Model: 62-Rifle
Type: Rifle
Gauge: 22 short
Barrel: 23 inch round
Finish: blue
Grip:
Stock: walnut
Item Views: 2502
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 244
Class: Curio & Relic Long Gun
Description:

Manufactured in 1936. The barrel has standard Winchester markings with the factory proof stamped on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. It has dovetailed front and sporting rear sights and 10-groove cigar style forearm. The straight grip stock features "'5/SPOT" burned on the left side and the marking is painted red and white. One explanation for the origin of the "5 SPOT" marking relates to a large shooting operation in Michigan that was named the 5 Spot Shooting Gallery. This company burned their logo on Model 62 stocks as a form of advertising. The total quantity of these "5 Spot" models is not known. They are, however, extremely rare!

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The rifle retains 75% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The wood is also very fine with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
