Hello fellow board members - I hope you're all doing well and may the collection be massive!
May I present " North Korean Type 63 " Serial no. 0125 "
I think the collecting community got together and decided to “give” me this one " Thanks Matt & Todd!
Gun was listed on Gunbroker " I was assuring myself that I would be flung so far from last minute bidders " I woke up early to watch the auction and went back to bed happy as a clam!
Gun was brought back by WO-1 Gerald A. Carpenter with the 23rd Americal Infantry Division "
Sad to report WO-1 Carpenter passed away April 2017 " Mrs. Carpenter is in the care of the state of NY " Thus the state conducted an estate sale "
The documents were taped around the buttstock and were subsequently removed by the state "
I hope I've posted enough pictures -
I am really happy with this bring back but sad news is also abound -
As I got this rifle I learned that one of my mentor in the field of Vietnam bring back has cancer -
Bless him with the time he has with us all -
Saigon1965 -

very cool, thanks for sharing. thumb1
I dunno why sksfiles members didn't fight for this one. rofl
Nice get. thumb1
The papers say its russian. :P
Is it functional? Whats the barrel look like?
Thanks Carls -
@L-C - I don't know either - Perhaps because it was listed as a Russian - But you all are very keen with that - Or folks are just tapped out with so many NKs recently becoming available -
I have an NVA that is listed as Chinese on the docs -
@Dino - Everything function as it should - Barrel is beautiful - I won't be shooting this one though -
QuoteI have an NVA that is listed as Chinese on the docs
Which is correct... See, even that guy knew better then to believe the NVA milled exact clones of a T56 in a rabbit hole or straw hut. thumb1
Sorry.... Had to say it. :))
