I just picked up my first winchester 63. After getting it home and doing a bit research I believe I have an interesting piece. It has a grooved receiver and the serial number is 1764xx. This is the highest number I can find in any record. It is all original. No refinish. I don’t quite see how to attach pics. As soon as I figure it out I’ll post ’em. Thanks
As a non WACA member, you do not have the ability to directly upload pictures to the WACA website. You can post a link to your pictures posted elsewhere.
The serial number on your rifle is approximately 1,800 digits higher than what I would expect.

Just rectified that issue! I’m looking forward to the added benefits of full membership! I’ll try to add a couple of pics in a few minutes.

What is the highest recorded model 63 serial number?
The highest that I’ve noted is 176718: Lot # 1225 @ Julia in October 2016.

I got my letter from Pauline. Apparently production of 63’s stretched into 1959. Mine was serial numbered January 16 1959. Pretty cool stuff.
