Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 63 was an American .22 caliber self-loading rifle designed by T.C. Johnson in 1901 and manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1933 to 1958. The design origins of the Model 63 goes back to 1901 from a patent dated 1901 by T.C. Johnson, a longstanding employee of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The rifle that became of this patent was the Model 1903, the first semi-automatic firearm commercially sold by the company and was also the first semi-automatic rifle design that was offered for commercial sale in North America. The rifle enjoyed modest commercial success. In the 1930s, however, the Model 1903 began to lose popularity, mainly because it used a proprietary cartridge, which was the only cartridge it could use to chamber properly. As such, a replacement had to be made, named the Model 63.
The Model 63 enjoyed immediate commercial success, with steady sales throughout the 1930s. Production ended briefly in the 1940s as Winchester refocused their production lines towards the war effort; production resumed in 1946 after World War II had ended. The rifle was quietly discontinued in 1958 after production was getting increasingly expensive, with most other companies migrating to cheaper methods of production. Some 174,692 were produced over its twenty-five-year production run.
