Here's a pic of the Winchester Model 63 semi-auto I got today, this is the one I've been working on for two years to get the price right. It is not 100%, sling swivels have been added, and a crack has been repaired on the butt stock. I ran a few rounds through it today to make sure it works (it does), so it's off to the range tomorrow to wring it out.






A family picture with it's post WW2 1940's cousins, a 1949 Model 94 in 30/30, a 1949 Model 62A pump, a 1945 Model 61 and the 1947 Model 63:




I tried to find the most original and unmolested example of each of these rifles, only the Model 63 has warts to be explained, and not many of those, only the sling swivels and repaired crack.

All of this Winchester love started a year ago when I picked up a Winchester "Ranger" 30/30 as a cheap, knockabout beater rifle. Had so much fun shooting it, I started looking for more Winchesters. I already had a thing for interesting .22 rifles, so the Models 61, 62A and 63 came naturally.....

I think a Model 1890 .22 short is next, and off course a 94/22 when I can find one at a reasonable price.
