"A name change, from the Model 62 to the Model 62A, occurred in the middle of 1940 when Winchester changed the breech bolt mechanism. This occurred around serial number 98,200. All Model 62 guns produced prior to this change had a slide pump forearm that was 5 3/4" long. After that date the slide pump forearm increased to 8" and the number of grooves cut into the wood on the forearm were increased from 10 to 17"

"Winchester introduced the Model 62 slide-action .22-caliber rimfire rifle in 1932. It was an exposed-hammer pump similar to the Model 90, with the ability to chamber .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle cartridges interchangeably. Between 1939 and 1940, at approximately serial number 98,000, the action and bolt design were altered and the model name changed from Model 62 to Model 62A. Serial number 2560XX Model 62A was manufactured circa 1949. Winchester offered a Model 62 Gallery Rifle configuration, which is easily recognized by the �.22 Short Only� chamber marking and a triangular-shaped opening for loading. The triangular-shaped opening made speed loading with pre-loaded tubes of cartridges a snap at shooting galleries. A standard Model 62A in NRA Very Good condition currently retails in the $350 to $500 range. If your Model 62A has the Gallery Rifle features, add 30 to 40 percent."

But it's that half a tail you can't see that make her a nice conversation piece around the dinner table :lol2:
Speaking of cows. I culled 4 a couple weeks ago. Two really old ones, one with a bad hip, and a Hereford cow that was a complete idiot and I got tired of her. I got $.20 to $.47 cents a pound for the first three. I got $.02 cents a pound for the Hereford. After the preg check I got $1.86 for that cow. I am calling the market now to see what's up with that.

Must be a hindu cow with that jewell in the middle of her forehead[/quote]
Looks to me like a .22 slug stuck between her hide, and her thick skull. If not, it makes a nice aiming point. [/quote]
It just might be!!! :lol2: It's my borthers cow. Breeds it to a registered Angus! Talk about heterosis :lol2:
Back to .22's: Had the bad experience of having to put a cow down 2 years ago. All I had at the time was a .22. Only saving grace was that it was a Nylon 66. Keep a high calibre in the truck nowdays if that job ever comes up again.
