Or is it yet another variant of AK magazine?

Glade you dropped by and hope to hear from you in the future.

The correct designation is “Type 63″ as is stamped into the receiver side wall…I know, I have 5 of them.–by two different Makers PRC.( movie inventory, SA and FA)

AS to the Hotchkiss strips, your ex-Japanese brass ones will work in Portatives, but the brass will (a) work harden the tabs, and (b) they crack or tear off after about two or three times ( especially if you don’t “time” the gun by the Gas regulator)

Get some of the “AV Ballistics” Hotchkiss strips ( new made, spring steel (SAE 1055) and blued.) Work wonders in T3, T92, and Portatives. We make flexi-strips as well.

If you can’t get them from Bob Naess ( Black River, Vt.), try us. ( info@avballistics.com.au )

I like your GunLab, and save some of the Postings for my “Workshop” file.

I bought some Madsen 9MM subgun mags I have no immediate use for. Thing is they are for a later version that uses a really neat curved version. Great to have for a future project!

The Chinese Type 68 is the ultimate evolution of the SKS. They are much better weapons than the AK 47.
