winchester 63

steveison91576
bought a 63 today, very pleased with what i got. serial number 115787a dob appears to be 1953. it is drilled and tapped for a scope mount on the left side of the receiver, two holes that are one and five eights inches apart and on a line with the two factory screws in the receive. was this a common mount location and would it be possible to find one today, if so what am i looking for?

thanks all

    Most likely belonged to Military officer that served in Germany after the WW II and the engraving was done by German Gun Smith . I do not believe it is factory Engraving. Looks to be very good Quality but German design.

    Good evening, I am new on the forum. I purchased this engraved winchester 63. I am trying to find out who engraved this gun? This gun was made in 1958, if that helps any. It is beautiful and i would like to learn more about it.. Thank You, Steve


    Hello Steve,

    I agree... it is a very nice looking Model 63. That said, it is not factory original engraving. As to who did the work?... that is likely to remain a mystery, but whoever it was, that had some talent.

    Agree, oak leaf engraving is a common Germanic motif.
    I wonder where the possum headed fox is native to.
    (If you want your portrait or a pet's engraved on a gun, be sure you check out his work on people and critters. That is tough.)
