I have a winchester 62-A ser# 145319 that was made in 1942. Is there anyway to determine the month or how close to the end of production in 1942 it was built?

  The DOM or serialization tables don't break down to month, day or hour of production, just the year. The last serial number for 1941 was 137379 and the last for 1942 was 155152.
  You do the math.

  Dokey,
  
  Yes, the Polishing Room Serialization records do indeed break it down to the specific day, month, and year for most models.
  
  Model 62A serial number 145319 was manufactured in late January of 1942 (serial 145675 was the very last one on Janaury 30th, 1942). Production in the year 1942 ended with serial number 163081 on November 24th.

  I should have qualified my answer. The tables in the Blue Book and others do not go down to day and month.

  The tables in the BlueBook, that are associated with the Madis data are JUNK anyway. The Blue Book should be used for intertainment, and smallish informational purposes only, not de-facto information.
