This video delves into the history and evolution of the Winchester Model 63 semi-automatic rifle. It traces its lineage back to the Winchester Model 1903 and the development of the .22 Winchester Automatic cartridge to overcome the limitations of black powder .22 rimfire ammunition in autoloaders. The video highlights how the Model 63, introduced in 1933, was an adaptation of the Model 1903 to fire the more modern smokeless .22 Long Rifle cartridge. It also touches upon the rifle's takedown feature, its restoration while preserving patina, and its eventual discontinuation in 1958 due to production costs and competition from newer models.

This "From the Vault" video from Brownells features a rare Remington Model 16 autoloading rifle chambered in .22 Remington Automatic. Gunsmiths Steve Ostrem and Keith Ford showcase the rifle's exquisite blued-steel and wood construction, slim receiver, and unique stock-loaded magazine. They discuss the proprietary .22 Rem Auto cartridge, designed to prevent the use of black powder ammunition in early autoloaders, and compare it to the Winchester Model 1903. The video highlights the rifle's elegant takedown mechanism, checkered walnut stock, and engraved receiver, noting its limited production run from 1914 to 1928. The condition of the rifle is attributed to the smokeless powder of its specialized ammunition.
