Winchester model 63.....22LR

Well I just got out of the basement. I finally got the operating rod unscrewed (frozen / stuck / rust) and got it the weapon all cleaned up. But the feed tube plunger "did not look right" I think someone tried to make a replacement. It still won't feed. I found a place online for parts, I'll call them when I get time.

According to "everything" you see on this, it's one of the most reliable semi autos ever made, and must be "something" as it was made for many years, and copied by others. So we'll see. it may be on it's way to a smith, before this is over.
