So i am curious what percentage of the value of this auction is based on the B3 scope?  I would say the M63 in question is a $700 gun…are the Winchester scope’s that desirable?  Thanks for input.

It looks like this M63 had a tang sight at one time and the wood seems to be depressed or cut in the tang area to accommodate.

Worth $700, maybe $800 at the max.  Production of the B-series ended in 1918, if not before, so the scope is certainly not original to the gun, as the lunatics bidding on it may believe.  You’re right about the tang sight.

Wait until you get the bill for one of my M1906’s. I have two very nice M68’s and paid $300 each. Big Larry

The knowledge you could gain during that meal would be worth more than a 1906. Don’t push your luck, Big Larry is a pretty savvy gun trader from what I can tell. Wink
