Just returned from town with a new to me 1955 model 63. Beautiful finish with just some marks from gun rack, 2 on the bluing 1on the furniture. Pictures tomorrow. The funny thing is, I was just talking (and posting) to my neighbor about his 63. Today as I was leaving the local VA center, I turned right instead of right, by the time I thought where the hell am I going , I decided to go a block further to a small gun shop. Never found what I like there but what the heck. Walked in and saw the 63. $485 lighter I left. I picked up flowers on the way home.

Awesome! Sounds like you got it for a good price.
Does it have a grooved receiver?

Unfortunately no. I’ve always heard that very few had grooved receivers, about the time they switched to plastic end caps on forearm.

Congrats Vince, your list is shrinking..
44
Your a lucky man if flowers work
Funny my list never seems to shrink just seems it gets longer and the rifles have gotten more expensive.
Congratulations on the 63, mine is a “W” marked 1940. look forward to the Pictures.

For your first sentence I agree 100%.For your second sentence I say,”Ain’t that the truth”.
In the past I had a Model 63 that was almost mint.Sold it to get somrthing else.Congrats on your new rifle.

Great looking 63. Now you just need a pre-war example, and a carbine, and a grooved receiver……….. it never ends. You did very well on the price. Why don’t I stumble on those deals? Thanks for posting pics.

WOWSY! She looks fantastic and from my favorite timeframe, the 50’s! I hope to find one as nice to add to the collection someday as well. Oh and on flowers, when do they not work with the Wifey?!
