Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The history of the Model 62 goes back to the Model 1890 and the Model 1906 (each of which was named for their year of introduction). Like many other successful Winchester firearms, the Model 1890 was designed and patented by John M. Browning. Winchester bought the patent from him in 1888, and Browning began the work of building a prototype. The new Model 62 was essentially an improved version of the Model 1906. It shared some of the features of the ’06 — the receiver, a visible hammer and interchangeable chambering for Short, Long and Long Rifle (or .22 Short only). The most visible changes included a 23-inch barrel and a newly designed stock and slide handle.

The Model 62 evolved into the 62A in the late 1930s. The most significant change was from a flat mainspring to a coiled hammer spring. From 1939 through 1940, both Model 62 and 62A variants overlapped, and it can be confusing to determine whether you have a Model 62 or 62A. No matter what is written on the barrel, a model 62 with a flat mainspring has four holes in the lower tang; the 62A with the coiled hammer spring has a single hole in the lower tang. Other changes from the Model 62 to the 62A included changing the pattern on the hammer thumbpiece from checkered to grooved. Also, the slide handle on the Model 62 is shorter than the one on the 62A, and there are seven grooves in the older slide handle and 10 grooves on the 62A. This change occurred at approximately serial number 98,000.
 
More than 409,000 Model 62 and 62A rifles were manufactured during their 26-year lifespan from 1932 to 1958, minus a hiatus during World War II (1943-1945). Total production of Winchester’s slide-action hammer Models 1890, 1906 and 62 totaled almost 2 million rifles during their 69-year history from 1890 to 1958. These rifles, like their Model 1890 and 1906 ancestors, are icons of the great .22 rifles of the 20th century and are fine examples for any collection.
