"Winchester Model 62 and later the 62A, can last a
lifetime, they were the .22 galley gun used in carnival shooting galleries
for years and were often fired hundreds of times a day, thousands of times
a week, year after year, after year!
The Winchester model 62 is also very accurate and about as reliable as .22
rifles can get." - User Submitted Review

Winchester Model 62 Pump Action .22 caliber
Rifles
The Winchester Model 62 was the third of a
series of pump
action rifles
that Winchester produced in the .22 caliber, beginning with the
1890 and
then the 1906 model. Both previous slide actions were discontinued
in 1932. Following in the previous models design, the Model 62 also
features an exposed hammer. The Winchester Model 62
was in production from 1932 till 1958.
Every Model 62 was a take-down version and had a 23 inch
round, tapered barrel. The Winchester Model 62 had a straight walnut stock and
grooved slide handle. The number of groves in the slide action
handle changed over time, with earlier versions having less groves.
Winchester chambered the 62in .22 caliber and
could feed short, long, and
long-rifle interchangeably. Additionally, a version specifically for
the Gallery that was chambered for .22 short
only. The Gallery model had a triangular hole on the mag tube for
loading.
A notable date for the Winchester Model 62 occurs in 1940, when the bolt
was changed and thus prompted Winchester to change the model to the
Winchester Model 62A. Additionally all prior model 62s had a slide pump forearm that was 5 3/4" long,
at that point the newer models switched to 8" long. The grooves
cut in the forearm also increased from 10 to 17.
The Winchester 1890, 1906, 62, and 62A all used basically the same
pump action
design and the 62A uses coil springs instead of flat springs like the
earlier models.
