Your gun looks really good. You may want to meet Rabbit2047 one of our great Members here. He will school you better. As per all the legality of selling, you're good! You're on the right place. Just be careful with spammers.

Welcome to ODT Sir!

If it has a 20" round barrel and serial number less than 9,800 then it's the earliest version Winchester Model 63. Those are the rarest as only 9,800 were made.

If it has a 23" round barrel smooth receiver top and serial between 9,800 and 165,00 then you have a newer model. Yours appears to be a 23" barrel.

If the upper receiver has grooves in it, then it's a Standard Groove Model 63. If the receiver is smooth then it's a Standard Model 63. The latter are the older of the 2 versions and worth more.

cmshoot will likely know much more about this than I.

Smooth

Grooved

A friend of mine suggested I come here. He's an avid hunter and recently purchased a shotgun here. 60 years ago my father, brothers and I learned to shoot by hunting mistletoe (absolutely no done now) every Christmas with a Winchester Model 63. It was handed down to me. Sadly, there is no one for me to pass it on to, so I'd asked my friend how to go about this. He suggested this forum. I know nothing about the requirements to legally sell personal firearms in Georgia, background checks, registration (never been registered anywhere). A web search shows this model being worth something between $900 and $3400. It's never been modified, but I maintained it and cased it since we've been in GA. So, I need some guidance to discover what it is I don't know, that I don't know.
