Hello,

I have 62A .22 but the wood is fancy/figured and there aren’t any grooves in the fore-stock ?  After much internet research I can’t find anything that looks like it. Did Winchester ever produce a special edition like this or is it probably custom?

The serial # dates it to 1951 and my Dad bought it unfired from an estate back in the 80’s.Thoughts and help are welcome.

I can’t seem to download the pics.

Without some good close up pics it will be purely speculation.  Being a guest you will need to use a 3rd party hosting site such as Imgur, photobucket etc. to post your pics.

Winchester did not produce a “special edition” 62A like you describe.  Special wood upgrades were available via special order but the fore-stock would have been grooved or checkered, even with the special wood.

My guess is that your rifle is a customized one of a kind with the fancy wood added after it left the factory.  As Erin mentioned, pictures would really help us determine what you have.

Thank you for the insight.

 

I composed another email with links to my Google Drive for the pics.

 

I’m not a member so I’m guessing it’s awaiting admin approval.
