Nice 1954 mfr. WINCHESTER M63 .22 LR RF Semi-Automatic Rifle C&R w/SCOPE
Made to Replace the Model 1903 Winchester Semi-Auto
Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Winchester Model 63 semi-automatic rifle manufactured in 1954 in New Haven, Connecticut. Prior to the making of the Model 63, the precursor to this gun was the Winchester Model 1903, which was the first commercially available semi-automatic firearm made by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The Model 1903 was a blowback-operated, semi-automatic rifle produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company beginning in 1903 with production ending in 1932 with a total of 126,000 rifles produced. The tubular magazine located in the buttstock holds 10 cartridges. The Winchester Model 1903 was designed by T.C. Johnson, who had joined Winchester in 1885 and had become nationally known as an inventor of successful rifles. It was first chambered for the .22 Winchester Automatic cartridge.
In late 1918 to early 1919, Winchester eliminated the “18” and “19” from the model names of all of the various models that were in active production, so the Model 1903 moniker was shortened to Model 03, and following a partial redesign in 1933, was renamed the Model 63, as is this example. In addition to other changes, the Model 63 fired the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. This cartridge was more popular than the .22 Winchester Automatic cartridge and was demanded by customers. The Model 63 was first available for purchase in 1933 and remained in production until 1958. Production totaled approximately 175,000 Model 63 rifles.
The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish. Excellent action. The bore is shiny bright with strong rifling. Markings are sharp. Fine stock with less than expected handling wear. The scope has a good sight picture with a slightly cloudy experience.
