New here.
I have a Winchester Model 62 that was manufactured in 1934. Serial #12380 My father gave it to me when I was 10 years old.
It is tapped (apparently for a silencer?) Someone suggested to me that Winchester may have issued some factory tapped.
Is this true? If so, how rare would this be?
Appreciate any info you may have.

While it is remotely possible that your July 1933 production Model 62 rifle was factory threaded for a Maxim Silencer, the odds are against it. When the NFA (National Firearms Act) of 1934 was enacted in June of 1934, Winchester had already ceased offering that special order optional feature.
Are the threads on the muzzle of the barrel interrupted? Does it have a knurled protective cap?
