Amadeo Rossi G502644 Rifle: Identification & History

Question
Hey, I live in Alabama and have this rifle that I need to know info on.  It is a Amadeo Rossi pump rifle model G502644 on the barrel.  It also has model 62 SAC INTERARMS (Alexandria, VA) on it.  I can't seem to find anything on it.  I don't know the age of the gun and was just trying to learn more about it.  Can you help?

Answer
Jennifer,

This is a little out of my area, but Rossi is an arms company based out of Brazil.  The model 62 is a copy of the old Winchester .22 pump guns.

I do not know when Rossi first started making that copy, but I believe it is within the decade (retro guns are big right now among sport shooters and collectors).  I believe they make it currently, or at least it is still for sale in shops.

The Rossi gun is not of the same quality as another Brazilian company making a similar rifle (Taurus is the name of the company), but it is not a bad rifle.

A google search turned up a stainless Model 62 selling for $260 - the blued version should fetch a bit less than that.  I would take it to a gunshop, though, and ask them to look at it to tell you what it's worth.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
