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
LTS

  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.
