Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1933, the Model 63 was the first semi-auto rifle offered by Winchester chambered for the standard .22 Long Rifle cartridge. Its purpose was to replace the similar Model 1903 which used the .22 Win. Auto cartridge. It had the square receiver that was a trademark of all early Winchester semiautomatic rifles and came with an uncheckered, walnut forearm and pistol-grip buttstock. Another feature common to the earlier Winchester semi-auto rifles was that to chamber a round, one pressed on the knurled end of a rod--called the operating sleeve--that extended from the front of the forearm; this retracted the bolt to charge the rifle or extract an unfired cartridge. The Model 63 was an attractive rifle, and sales remained steady throughout the 1930s. Manufacture continued into the early 1940s when Winchester refocused its entire production capacity towards the war effort. The Model 63 last saw the light of day in Winchester's 1958 catalog, after which it was quietly discontinued. A total of 174,692 units had rolled off the assembly line in New Haven.
This Model 63 was manufactured in the early months of 1953 holding serial number 116742. It features a 23" barrel and smooth walnut furniture complemented by a metal buttplate. It has a rear adjustable U notch, a front adjustable dovetail blade for precise targeting, and standard Winchester markings including the factory oval proof on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech.
Overall, this gun has been take very well care of in its life and shows no evidence of being 70 years old. By owning a Winchester Model 63 Super Speed & Super-X, you're not just purchasing a firearm; you're investing in a piece of history that continues to perform exceptionally even today. Its reputation for reliability and accuracy makes it a coveted piece among collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike.
