Winchester Model 62 - The Firearms Forum

I have a Winchester Model 62 pump action rifle. The forearm has 17 grooves.
The SN is 148579. This sweet rifle shoots LR, Longs & shorts. It has the bullet shaped loading hole. I am trying to find out the year of Manufacture. This gun was passed down from my grandfather. I have determined it to be a post war model but it only has the model 62 on it not 62A. Can anyone help?

That SN was made in 1942.
