Hi All,

As the subject line says, I own a Winchester Model 63 22 cal rifle and would like to know if anyone can tell me the year of manufacture as well as a fair price given its condition I could ask for it. I am a new father of a beautiful baby girl and would feel better not having a gun in our home anymore. However, It is a tough decision for me to make as this gun was passed down to me by a great uncle when I was 15. Any and all help is great appreciated.

The serial number on the gun is: 131640A

Here are some photos:








If any other photos would be helpful please let me know and thank you for your help!

  just my 2 cents, but I think that little girl of yours needs to learn gun safety also. Now what better way than with your uncles rifle?? Having had my say,,
  as per price around here $300-450 depending on how quick a sale you want.

  The condition of the rifle is superb except for the nasty chunk missing from the butt stock near the butt plate.
  
  My guess is that you could get $600+ for it if you list here on Gunbroker.
  
  That said, I agree 110% with hillbille... your new daughter is in no immediate danger from that old Winchester rifle, and it would be a great tool in teaching her proper firearms safety when she reaches the proper age.
  
  According to the limited information I have access to on the Model 63, your rifle was manufactured in circa the year 1955. As such. it should have a grooved top receiver, which adds a premium to the value.

  You can buy a cheap gun locker for under $100, set it in a corner of a closet or bedroom to keep your rifle in. That rifle will be worth quite a bit when your daughter is grown.
