Winchester Model 63

regal454

I have a very nice 1949 model 63. this is going to a new squirrel hunter (young family member) Receiver is drilled (4 holes) for a side mount.
For the life of me, I can not remember nor find the correct base.
I have an early steel El Paso 4x weaver to go on it.
Anyone know the mount number, I think it was a weaver mount, maybe a Redfield.

Thanks

I have a Winchester Model 63 22 rifle and was thinking about selling it and would like to know what it might be worth? Serial No. 90169 in very good condition and I think it is a 23" barrel.

I see that the last serial number for the Model 63 is 175223 but I have one with what look to be the correct Winchester markings that sports the serial number 175409. Any idea what gives?

I am considering buying a Winchester Model 63 from a gentleman through an add I saw online. The seller is 4 hrs away so I'd like to get some info prior to making that trip. The gun has a gold trigger, and the seller claims the gun is almost factory new. I am still waiting on receiving the serial number of the gun but it appears to be made in the 40's or earliy 50's prior to having a groves receiver. Did the std grade 63's ever come with a gold trigger or was that done by a gunsmith? If I could figure out how to post a pic I would lol!

If you go to the GB home page & click on ADVANCED, that will take you to a search page that allows you to see COMPLETED auctions. Search for "Winchester 63", but I doubt that you will see any with a gold trigger.

They made 2 grades in the model 63, in the time frame your talking about. The higher grade gun had checkered grip and forearm. I can't find anything about gold triggers. There is a reference to later production guns with gold embellishments on the receivers. I would think they would have the grooved receivers.

This gun is definitely not the high grade with the fancy checkered walnut.

Is there any other way to post a pic since I am not a member of a photo hosting site?

Gold trigger is aftermarket.

Odds are that some other "custom" work was done, too.

I believe that the newer model Browning made Winchesters have a gold trigger.

I have a newer Browning made Model 63. Grooved receiver, no gold trigger. Unlike some of the other Browning remakes such as the 65 or 71 that were offered in a higher grade, I don't think there were any in the 63 version.
