I’d also like to know if pieces interchangeable and if production is still on going.

Is this project still moving forward? Also, are type 56 and type 63/68 parts interchangeable? I a, considering a possible type 63/68 build.

Thank you very much,

Mark

Many hundreds of Chicom Type 68 rifles were imported (as semi-auto Type 63s) into and sold in Australia during the ’80s. All the ones I saw were Chinese arsenal-converted to semi-auto only, stamped receiver Type 68s, the forward position of the fire-selector switch being used as a second safety detent for the selector lever. All had the 20-round magazines of the 68s, with or without the Chicom 5-pointed star stamped on, never saw any 63 pattern 15-rouñd ones.
The rifles were okay, unless you found one that had been sold in Victoria: page 210 of Ezell’s Small Arms Of The World has a photo misidentifying the fire-interuptor as the automatic sear, so the Victorian cops ordered all guns have the so-called auto-sear cut off!

In the late 80s, Australian Customs began raiding gunshops and private owners of the rifles, seizing them as ‘prohibited imports’, with zero compensation paid. One gundealer had an entire shipping container full seized, they refused to allow the guns to be re-exported, all destroyed! At the time, only Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory did not have official gun registration in place, so the only guns to escape destruction were ones that had been on-sold by the prior owners. It did not stop the federal and state thugs from threatening people, but hey, what can you do after selling to some bloke at the range? Those were the days!

Americans, never accept any type of gun registration: it always leads to confiscation! Roosevelt really screwed you people in 1934.

[…] Channel 7 claimed it was an SKS. After some extensive analysis, we suspect that it was actually a Chinese Type 63 and not an SKS, however we will have to wait and see when, or if, that is disclosed to the public. […]

I have know Don for over 2 decades. I was at his place buying the parts. He does not have much left for the type 63.
