This video explores the Chinese Type 63 rifle, a fascinating hybrid designed to merge the accuracy of the SKS with the firepower of the AK. Introduced in 1960, it featured an SKS-like gas piston and fire control system combined with an AK-style rotating bolt and detachable magazine. Despite performing well in trials, mass-produced rifles suffered from subpar quality control, leading to their withdrawal from service. The video discusses the two main variations (milled and stamped receivers), the unique 20-round magazines with bolt hold-open, and the rifle's international distribution, particularly to Albania and African nations.
