I would just hold out for a Norinco/Polytech Spiker, they come up for sale from time to time.

If your looking to do a realistic VC Type 56 then you need to start with a milled receiver. Look for a Milled MAK-90 kit with the screw-in barrel. Find a spiker GB and FSB and you're there. That would give you the most accurate clone of the Type 56 used during that timeframe for the particular conflict.

Is it an option for you to buy a completely stock factory rifle? IMO that'd be the easiest way to go.

I used an extra, worn Polytech Legend as the basis for mine although I've since changed out the upper handguard for an early Chinese vented one:

Some more ideas for your bfpu, it was mine for 8 months, not Vietnam era, but nevertheless a T56.

It's blued. It's just the sun and that style of blueing. The Chinese had a few different styles of blueing methods.

Thank you for the suggestions guys! Loving that underfolder, that is the look I'm going for, but fixed stock and hopefully spiker.
I was looking for milled receivers on GB, and came across these new made receivers with faux Chinese markings. Anyone have experience with these? Also, anyone know of someone who can replicate the Chinese blue finish? Thanks again! |

Mario at Piece of History Firearms is one of the premiere builders that can do early or late era blued Chinese finishes.

He does allot of custom work too BTW. Good luck with the build. Chicom milled spiker is my dream gun. |
