What is type 63?

The Type 63 is a Chinese-made semi-automatic rifle chambered in the 7.62x39mm round. It was first introduced in the early 1960s by Norinco, a state-owned defense manufacturer in China.

The Type 63 is based on the Soviet SKS carbine design, featuring a similar gas-operated system and a detachable 10-round magazine. It is a reliable and accurate rifle that is commonly used by various military and police forces in China.

The rifle has a wooden stock and handguard, and a fixed blade bayonet attached to the barrel. It has a barrel length of 20 inches and an overall length of 40 inches.

Despite its age, the Type 63 is still in use in some parts of the world and is popular among recreational shooters and collectors due to its historical significance.
