I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure the guy at the gun show was pulling my leg today.  He was telling me that the chinese military used them before the AK.  Were their ever FA sks rifles with a selector? He was telling me that the selector was on the opposite side of the bolt handle.
I've never heard of it before.  I just kind od nodded.

He was probably mixing up the sks with the type 63

Why in the world would you want to?  I knew that guy was full of beans.  He was telling me about seeing them in Vietnam.
Thanks for the replies.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone it's not a smart thing to do.  I found it by accident with different reloads scared the crap at me.  It trips sear out if battery causing the slam fire.  It catches it after 3 to 4 round bust.  Very dangerous.

Yeah I  bet that did scare you.  I'm not asking about how to make a SKS F/A I just wanted to know if there were any ever made by the Chinese. That type 63/68 rifle is interesting.  I'd never heard of  it before.  I can't really imagine it being particularly effective being that it looks to only hold 10  or 15 rounds.  Interesting though.

It may be possible that the Vietminh converted them some how.  It really wouldn't be practical with a 10rd fixed magazine, 2 bursts and be empty.  A selector on the left side, opposite of the bolt handle sounds more like an M2 carbine to me as the Type 63's selector is on the right, above the trigger. Time clouds one's memory.

Thats true. The yugos are CAKED in cosmo and if you dont degrease it well, it can get gunked up basically making it a fixed firing pin

Back in the 80s a bunch of Chinese F/A SKSs were imported on accident. My old boss got his hands on a few crates before they realized there were toggle switches in front of most of the trigger guards. I want to say this was pre-86, but no one was going to pay $200 to register a cheap import, so he returned them to the importer and got semi-autos in return. I'll ask him for more details next time I go by the store. He had pictures (Polaroids) back when he told me the story. They supposedly were not commercial guns, so that would imply the Chinese were using them in some capacity.

Couldn't have registered them anyway. Transferrable machine guns were banned from import in the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Law enforcement could import them that's where the Pre 86 dealer samples come from.

I briefly had one of those green parkerized SKS's that did 3-round bursts. I think it was actually bump firing instead of the firing pin being gummed up as the thing had what had to be a 20+ lb trigger. That rifle was parked every square inch, including trigger/sear and maybe even inside the barrel. It sure didn't look chrome plated anymore, and it sure as hell shot like it was fucked up. 1 foot groups @ 5ydsif you pulled your end of the stick.

ah yes, gun show experts.  kinda like the ones that say you can make an SKS f/a by filing the firing pin down.
