	~~=HISTORY=~~
	The Type 63 was intended to replace the [[Type 56]]. The Type 63 rifle was also exported by China to [[North Vietnam]] during the [[Vietnam War]], and throughout the 1970s. It saw very little service in North Vietnam, and was withdrawn from front-line service after the [[Vietnam War]] ended. It is still in use by the Militia and Self-Defense ([[Vietnam]]).

			'''Type 63''' is a Chinese select-fire assault rifle chambered for the 7.62×39mm cartridge. It combines SKS-style features such as a traditional stock and folding spike bayonet with an AK-style rotating bolt and detachable box magazine. It is best known as an early Chinese attempt to field a standard infantry rifle with both semi-automatic and automatic fire, which ultimately saw limited front-line service.

			==HISTORY==
			China developed the Type 63 in the early 1960s to provide a rifle with greater sustained fire capability than the SKS-pattern [[Type 56]] while retaining familiar handling and features suited to close-quarters fighting. The design blended elements seen on contemporary Soviet-pattern rifles, and it entered service in limited numbers as a transitional system before later Chinese rifles filled the role more successfully. Reports on the Type 63 commonly note that manufacturing complexity and serviceability issues restricted its long-term adoption, leading to the rifle being moved out of primary service and retained mainly for militia and local defense use.

	~~<gallery mode="packed" heights="400px">~~		During the Vietnam War era, China exported a wide range of small arms to [[North Vietnam]], and the Type 63 is cited as being among the rifles supplied in comparatively small quantities. In Vietnamese service it was far less common than the Type 56 and AK-pattern rifles, but it could still appear within broader aid-delivery inventories and secondary formations, with later retention reported among militia and self-defense units after the conflict.
