(C) FIRST YEAR (1932) WINCHESTER MODEL 62 SLIDE ACTION RIFLE.
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/18/2025
Dates to 1932. A total of 7643 rifles were made this first year. This fine example has all the early features including the pre 1935 3-pin breech block, the checkered hammer, smooth trigger, very scarce three line Winchester tang stamp indicating this gun was made using the Model 1890 receiver, a flat muzzle, the early Type 1 Winchester barrel legend, very early magazine tube collar, a 32B rear sporting sight, a Lyman gold bead dovetailed front sight, the 6" ten groove rounded walnut forearm, the pre-war straight grip walnut butt stock and the 1932-35 checkered metal butt plate. CONDITION: Excellent. The barrel and tube retain nearly all the blue finish, strong barrel legends, showing some minor handling marks. The frame retains at least 95% of its bright factory blue but shows some typical areas of flaking patina. Stock is excellent, proud to metal, with minimal impressions. Forearm is fine. Mechanically sound. Bore is bright. A very nice condition and rare first year model with all its original early parts.
