Similar/Identical Pattern Guns

The same basic assembly/disassembly steps for the Winchester Model 63 also apply to the following gun:

Winchester Model 1903

Cartridge:		22 Long Rifle
Magazine capacity:		10 rounds
Overall length:		39½ inches

The original gun of this design, the Model 1903, was chambered for a special cartridge, the 22 Winchester Auto. It was made in this form from 1903 to 1932. The Model 63, in 22 Long Rifle, was made from 1933 to 1958. Very early guns will have the 20-inch barrel and pedal-type latch on the takedown knob that were carried over from the 1903 model. Otherwise, mechanically, the two models are practically identical.
