This is one of a series of pictures I'm going to upload of some of my firearms collection. I'm only uploading those that have a historical background.
Here is a picture seen from the right side with some .22LR bullets around it.
~About THIS firearm~
-This was inherited from my grandfather when he passed away. We are not sure exactally when he purchased it. (grandfather on my mothers side)
-According to my grandfathers notes, "This is amoung the first produced .22 rifles of this model. It is very accurate. You can easily make headshots on Squirrels with it. It is modeled after a Winchester big-game rifle."
-I think this was given to me when I was little, but taken back (to my grandpa) to give to me later in life when I was older.
-This is the 23" model with smooth top. Supposedly it was produced somewhere between 1936-1958
-This is semi-automatic. This means that it will fire exactly one bullet every time you pull the trigger. Once the bullet is fired, the caseing for it is ejected from the gun from the rearward dirrection of the bolt due to newton's third law of motion. There is a spring in the rear of the gun that forces the bolt back forward and at the same time feading another round.
-The gun is loaded from the rear in a tubular magazine. The magazine is located in the butt stock and is loaded from the right side by a hole that is opened by pulling the loading rod out far enough. (a tubular magazine means that the bullets are stacked on top of each other, tip to end, like this ->->->)
-Its capacity is 10+1
~About the firearm~
-This is my Winchester Model 63. This gun is also known as the Model 1903 because that's when production started for this.
----The name was changed to Model 03 in 1919 and after some design changes in the 1930's was changed again to the Model 63
-This was designed by T.C. Johnson
-The rifle was manufactured to first fire the .22 Winchester Automatic cartrige, then in later production (around 1933) was manufactured to fire the popular .22 Long Rifle.
-Around 126,000 were produced
