Amd 65 Stock Options

Com base no sucesso do design AK-47, os engenheiros militares nas décadas de 1950 e 1960 começaram a projetar plataformas AK mais leves e mais compactas, que seriam usadas por forças aéreas e tropas secundárias, como tripulantes de tanques, comboios de suprimentos, polícia militar, Pessoas de ordenanças e vários outros tipos de REMF. O AMD-65 húngaro é um dos projetos mais onipresentes produzidos como resultado dessa experiência. Pense nisso como uma versão comum da M-1 Carbine, mas com um pouco de mordida8230. Embora uma vez obscura, a AMD-65 viu um pouco de renome ultimamente devido ao seu serviço no Afeganistão e à recente importação de kits de peças. De fato, as construções semi-auto AMD-65 feitas a partir de kits de peças excedentes são uma visão bastante comum em lojas de armas em todo o país. Neste artigo, testaremos o TG International (TGI) SA 2000M AMD-65, uma construção freqüentemente encontrada com base no FG SA 2000M. O SA 2000M é uma variante de 10-shot Clinton-Era AK projetada durante as idades escuras do Banquete de Armas de Assalto (AWB) para o mercado americano. Neste artigo, nós testamos esse cachorrinho e informamos se vale o preço de 500-600. Como um bônus extra, testaremos o adaptador de estoque UltiMAKs M7-B e o adaptador de estoque AMD65Techs, o loop de sling e o buffer de recuo também. Ok, antes de entrar nos detalhes da reconstrução TGI testada aqui, conversemos um pouco de história e doutrina, então sabemos exatamente o que essa arma foi originalmente destinada a realizar. Uma Breve História da FG e a Evolução da AMD-65 A AMD-65 original foi feita em Budapeste, Hungria pela FG. Pelo que entendi, a FG está agora desaparecida. O nome mais recente representou Fegyver s Gpgyr. Que, de acordo com a Wikipedia, se traduz em 8220Arms e Machine Factory, 8221, embora ao mesmo tempo representasse outros nomes, incluindo Fegyver s Gazkaszulekgar (Arms and Gas Appliances Company.) Combo interessante, eh Antes de sua morte, a FG tinha estado no negócio Em vários aspectos e propriedade desde o final dos anos 1800. Ele fabricava a maioria, se não todas, das armas pequenas para as Forças de Defesa da Hungria. A empresa faleceu em 2004, quando, de acordo com a Wikipedia, muitos de seus tradicionais mercados de exportação foram colocados sob embargo. Estudantes da história lembrarão que a Hungria era um aliado nominal dos alemães na Segunda Guerra Mundial, e o país foi o cenário de luta viciosa nos primeiros meses de 1945. Na verdade, foi na Hungria que a divisão de elite de Hitler, SS-Liebstandarte, Foi finalmente reduzido aos confrontos pelos soviéticos. Bem, o retorno, como eles dizem, é uma puta, os soviéticos transformaram a Hungria em um estado de marionetes em 1945. Os militares húngaros sob o guarda-chuva do Pacto de Varsóvia e, como resultado, adotaram a doutrina e o equipamento militar soviético. A URSS ficou mais do que feliz em vender armas para todos os seus estados de marionetes, mas alguns dos novos amigos, incluindo a Hungria, estavam muito orgulhosos de comprar as importações Russki. A Hungria desenvolveu o seu próprio clone AK-47 do receptor moído no meio dos anos 50. Em 1963, a FG desenvolveu o AKM-63, que era basicamente uma arma de tipo gravada (ou seja, AKM) com algumas modificações. Dois anos depois, em 1965, a FG desenvolveu a AMD-65, que pretendia ser uma versão mais leve e compacta do AKM-63. Apresentava um barril curto de 12,5 polegadas, um fio de fio oco fino, um foregrip vertical e Um focinho-freio, todos chegando a menos de 6 libras. Os critérios de design para a AMD-65 enfatizaram os seguintes atributos: Menor, mais leve e mais fácil de transportar do que o AKM-63 Mesmo calibre, manual de armas e interface do operador, como o AKM-63 utilizável pelos oficiais e por compensador de tropas aéreas Mangueira reduzida escalar estoque de dobradura tubular de 20 rodinhas redonda que permitiu a operação do gatilho quando dobrada Como o D no nome AMD indica, era destinado a ser usado por unidades de pára-quedistas (8220dcc8221), mas vários outros ramos das forças armadas húngaras, como a infantaria mecanizada , Armaduras e unidades de apoio, também interessaram. Isso foi consistente com a doutrina soviética da era dos anos 1950, cujo TOampE pediu a emissão de estoque dobrável AKS rifle para suas forças aéreas elite e infantaria mecanizada. Na Segunda Guerra Mundial, os soviéticos equiparam a maioria de suas forças de elite, como suas unidades de guarda, com tantas metralhadoras de alcance curto e totalmente automático (PSsh 41, PHs 43, emprestam Thompsons M1928s, etc.), pois poderiam obter suas mãos em. Na verdade, logo após a Segunda Guerra Mundial terminou, os soviéticos passaram de cartuchos de tamanho de submetralização e cartuchos de Mosin-Nagant (7.62 x 54R) de potência total em favor da rodada intermediária de tamanho único que todos conhecemos e amamos: a M43 (7,62 x 39). Os soviéticos sabiam que eles teriam uma superioridade numérica em qualquer batalha, então sua doutrina exigia que a infantaria mecanizada feche rapidamente com o inimigo e se envolvesse em um combate agressivo de perto, após o descasque de táxis de batalha, como o BTR-50P, o BMP-1, BDM e BTR 60. Os rifles que disparam com 600 a 800 metros com precisão não foram considerados muito importantes. Em vez disso, as pequenas mangueiras de bala compactas que poderiam ser usadas dentro dos veículos e tinham taxas de saída suficientes para obter superioridade de fogo em curto alcance (200 metros) foram altamente favoráveis. Visto sob esta luz, o AMD-65 parece ser uma conseqüência natural da União Soviética e da doutrina: um rifle de assalto leve e leve, distribuído em cartuchos de potência de alcance intermediário destinados a alcançar a superioridade do fogo em combate de curto alcance. Claro, raspar um par de libras e alguns centímetros de barril e estoque de uma arma vai introduzir algumas novas questões não aparentes na arma original. Os críticos da AMD-65 geralmente citam três áreas problemáticas: diminuição de alcance e precisão devido ao barril curto, queimaduras de calor do protetor de mão de metal não blindado e preocupações de confiabilidade. Talvez a maior queixa seja a reputação da AMD-65 por ter uma faixa efetiva limitada. É lógico que encurtar um barril AK de pouco mais de 16 polegadas para um pouco mais de 12 polegadas resultará em tornar um design relativamente impreciso ainda mais impreciso, ou assim se pensaria. Embora algumas dessas imprecisas percebidas possam resultar de um barril mais curto, o principal culpado está no raio de visão mais curto. Obviamente, quanto menor a distância entre as vistas frontal e traseira, maior o potencial de apontar erros. Para acomodar um freio de foca mais longo, a mira é ajustada para trás mais longe do focinho do que em muitos projetos de AK. A foto acima mostra uma comparação com um AKMS padrão. Você notará que o poste de visão dianteira da AMD-65s está a quatro (4) polegadas mais perto do poste de visão traseiro do que o AKMS (Mas esse não é o único culpado. IMHO, o maior fator que leva à falta de precisão percebida com a AMD -65 é a falta de uma solda de bochecha no estoque de topo. O estoque de topo é um único pedaço de aço oco e em forma de quadrado de forma a que ele dê muita folga para a alça de carga e alavanca de segurança. Infelizmente, ele dá a Não tire nada para descansar, e, portanto, proíbe a boa precisão para todos, exceto para os atiradores mais bem treinados. A segunda queixa diz respeito ao guarda mão que é feito de chapa (veja a foto acima). A maioria das variantes AK convencionais apresentam madeira ou Guardas de mão de polímero com escudos térmicos de metal incorporados. O protetor de mão não protegido de metal desnudo AMD-65s conduz o calor. De acordo com pelo menos um relatório do Afeganistão, a polícia afegã equipada com a AMD-65 queixa-se de que quando disparam vários 30 rodadas Revistas através de t Herdeiro AMD-65s, o guarda-mãos pode ficar muito quente para tocar. Mas o problema relatado é provavelmente um reflexo do treinamento pobre, mais apontado para o fogo e menos lixões magníficas inspiradas em jihad inspiradas em jihad, que curariam esse problema em todas as batalhas, exceto as mais aquecidas. A terceira queixa diz respeito a problemas alegados com confiabilidade. Ao contrário de muitas variantes na linha Kalashnikov, a AMD-65 tem uma reputação entre a polícia afegã por paradas prematuras. Pessoalmente, sou cético sobre esta queixa. Embora eu tenha poucas dúvidas de que as unidades da polícia afegãs provavelmente fazem um mau trabalho de manter suas armas, acho difícil acreditar que qualquer variante de AK seria menos confiável do que a plataforma AR naquela parte do mundo. No entanto, a AMD-65 parece ter obtido uma má pressão ultimamente, então ainda mais razões para testá-lo e ver por mim. Claro, Portland, Oregon, está muito longe do Afeganistão (obrigado, Lord), então meu teste não será capaz de replicar as condições no Cemitério dos impérios. A TG International SA 2000M Conversion TG International (TGI), localizada em Knoxville, Tennessee, vende peças e acessórios excedentes militares. De acordo com o site deles, eles importaram orgulhosamente o superávit de melhor qualidade da Rússia, Bulgária, Romênia, Hungria, Finlândia, Alemanha, Polônia, República Tcheca e Áustria há mais de uma dúzia de anos. Alguns anos atrás, a TGI conseguiu um monte de FEG SA 2000Ms, que eram um projeto AK de single-stack pós-proibição que acompanhava uma revista exclusiva de 10 rodadas de uma única pilha e um estoque de thumbhole inspirado em Dracov Choate. O FEG SA 2000M foi originalmente fabricado na Hungria e importado em 1999-2000 pela KBI e RSR. O SA 2000M aparentemente não vendeu muito bem, então ainda havia alguns sentados em armazéns de revendedores quando o AWB entrou no pôr-do-sol em 2004. Livre dessa lei estúpida, muitos dos estoques restantes de SA 2000Ms foram convertidos pela TGI e Outros para lidar com mags AK convencionais de dupla pilha. A arma de amostra possui peças de controle de fogo Tapco, o receptor FEG original e o barril original revestido com cromo FEG, que foi cortado para 12.68243 polegadas. Para evitar que a arma seja considerada um rifle de cana curta de NFA pela BATF, uma extensão de barril combinada e um freio de foca são permanentemente soldados ao barril para alcançar o comprimento total mágico do barril de 16 polegadas. O TGI também expandiu a mag para aceitar revistas AK-47 padrão (dupla pilha). A qualidade geral da conversão é bastante boa: funcional, mas não bonita. Claro, a minha principal preocupação quando compro uma arma construída a partir de peças excedentes é que ela funciona de forma adequada e é razoavelmente precisa. Nesses dois departamentos, a TGI ficou correta. A arma de amostra foi 100 confiável e, como discutido em mais detalhes abaixo, it8217s é surpreendentemente preciso. Outra agradável surpresa foi o fato de que as vistas estavam mortas na saída da caixa. Então, considerando o preço (cerca de 500,00), acho que a maioria dos entusiastas da arma ficaria satisfeita. Há, no entanto, duas decepções. Primeiro, muitas das construções de TGI (a arma de amostra incluída) têm muita jogada entre a alça do compartimento traseiro e a captura da revista no protetor de gatilho. Como resultado, as revistas tendem a se inclinar para cima e para baixo e de lado a lado por uma polegada ou mais. Nada disso parece afetar a confiabilidade das armas, mas é um pouco irritante. Certamente, o ruído gerado por mag rattle poderia ser um problema em uma situação tática. Descobri que algumas revistas melhoram do que outras, por isso vale a pena comprar. O TGI envia a arma com o que parecem ser revistas de waffle Pro-Mag, que são peças do U. S., que provavelmente são necessárias para alcançar a conformidade 922. Uma segunda decepção decorre do fato de que TGI realmente cortou os cantos no trabalho de pintura. Não tenho certeza se eles usaram uma lata regular de Krylon diretamente na prateleira da Home Depot ou não, mas eles também podem ter. O que quer que eles usem, é uma merda. Com menos de 1000 rounds downrange, a reconstrução da carabina commie está mostrando desgaste considerável, já que as fotos abaixo demonstram: Talvez a arma de amostra tenha acontecido na sexta-feira à tarde às 4:30. Eu estava em um show de armas no final de semana eu vi um negociante com um TGI AMD-65 que exibia um ajuste e um acabamento bem melhores do que essa arma de amostra. Também tinha as alças de madeira de faia, que são melhores, embora um pouco menos confortáveis. Então talvez seja útil comprar se você estiver no mercado de uma dessas armas. Em qualquer caso, pensei que esta revisão seria mais interessante se a amostra de teste fosse personalizada um pouco. Então eu chamei os bons colegas da UltiMAK e da AMD65Tech e pedimos que me enviem alguns acessórios para teste e avaliação. Ambos são obrigados. Nunca fui fã do arranjo típico de visão tangente em armas de estilo AK. Quando criança, eu aprendi a disparar usando as visões tangentes no Ruger 1022 e eles sempre pareciam funcionar bem. Mas na escola secundária, fui apresentado aos locais de abertura do M-16 e do HK-91, e tudo mudou: eu recebi mimada. Desde então, acho que há alguma coisa sobre o design de pontos de ferro do AKs que os torna difíceis de usar com precisão. E à medida que minha visão piora com a idade, esses tipos de visões tornam-se ainda mais problemáticos. Então, para mim, ter uma ótica em um AK é obrigatório. Infelizmente, Mikhail Kalashnikov não criou o AK-47 com a óptica em mente, então instalá-los em um AK pode ser um pouco de desafio. Qualquer pessoa que deseje instalar a ótica em uma variante típica de AK terá quatro opções básicas: (1) Montagem Scout que substituem o conjunto do tubo de gás do amplificador de guarda da parte superior (2) Conjunto da montagem do trilho lateral. (3) Trilhos que se encaixam na montagem do poste de visão traseira. (4) Trilhos que substituem a tampa do receptor, incluindo, por exemplo, o trilho do perno da perna com tampa de pó integral. Embora estejam além do escopo desta revisão para discutir os méritos relativos de cada um desses projetos, é justo dizer que cada um apresenta seu próprio conjunto de desafios e limitações. Nesse caso, decidimos instalar-se em um projeto de montagem de escoteiro porque não interfere com a desmontagem do rifle. Ao invadir a mania do tacticool, os trilhos de escuta AK estão agora disponíveis no Midwest Industries, Krebs, Samson, bem como ofertas menos dispendiosas da Tapco, UTG, Leapers e outros. O trilho UltiMAK original ainda é o melhor, na minha opinião, porque ele é baixo o suficiente para permitir que você mantenha a solda de sua bochecha e co-testemunhe suas vistas de ferro. UltiMAK é um negócio pequeno, de propriedade familiar e operado com base na pequena cidade de Moscou, Idaho. Eles originalmente começaram a fabricar trilhos de montagem de escoteiros para a plataforma AK em 2000 e imediatamente encontraram um público receptivo do público comprador de armas. Motivados pelo seu sucesso inicial, a empresa agora faz trilhos semelhantes para carabinas M-1, M-1 Garands, M-1As, Ruger Mini-14s e espingardas Saiga. O trilho M7-B é o modelo que se adapta à AMD-65. Como todos os trilhos na linha UltiMAK, o M7-B é fabricado a partir de um lingote sólido de liga de alumínio 6061-T6. O trilho é duro anodizado em um acabamento traseiro liso. No geral, o ajuste e o acabamento são de primeira classe, com tolerâncias muito apertadas e sem marcas de usinagem visíveis. O trilho aperta diretamente ao barril através de duas braçadeiras em forma de U e quatro parafusos Allen. A instalação da versão AMD-65 deste trilho é um pouco mais complicada do que os trilhos AK padrão porque o AMD-65 possui um handguard que 8217s feito de metal em oposição aos projetos padrão de madeira ou plástico. Instalar o M7-B em um AMD-65 requer a remoção de aproximadamente 18 polegadas de polegada do protetor de mão para aproximadamente uma tira de 3 polegadas em ambos os lados do lado superior do protetor de mão. Se você estiver acessível com uma ferramenta Dremel, isso não deve ser um problema. Infelizmente, as instruções do fabricante não são específicas para a AMD-65, então você é deixado em seus próprios dispositivos quanto à quantidade de material a ser removido do handguard de aço. Felizmente, UltiMAK irá adicionar algumas fotos específicas da AMD-65 ou um modelo específico da AMD-65 para suas instruções em algum momento. Eu tinha comprado recentemente uma ferramenta Dremel, e este projeto foi minha primeira vez usando isso. Acontece que eu era um pouco de Dremel Neanderthal, mas depois de cerca de duas horas de cortes incrementais, finalmente consegui colocar o guarda-mãos para caber sobre os suportes de retenção dos trilhos. Infelizmente, eu também consegui arrancar um grande pedaço de tinta do protetor de mão. Rut-roh, Rel-roy. Tanto para mim, conseguir um emprego no Les Baer Custom em breve. Como o trilho UltiMAK M7-B se monta diretamente no barril, eu esperava ter uma mudança de PI importante. Felizmente, a mudança, embora notável, foi muito mínima e facilmente corrigida pela deriva na visão frontal. Eu fiz cerca de cinco viagens à gama com o AMD-65 equipado com trilho UltiMAK e estou muito satisfeito com este produto. Após quase 1000 rodadas, não afrouxou, e o acabamento foi muito durável. Primeiro montei um Aimpoint Comp 2 na carabina, mas decidi que não gostava de ter muito peso extra na frente da arma. Então acabei instalando uma ótica mais clara: o Vortex SPARC. Talvez um dia eu tenha primavera para um Aimpoint T-1, mas por enquanto eu estava tentando manter a arma sob um grande. O SPARC é suficientemente leve para que você apenas perceba isso, ao contrário do Comp 2, não modifica o equilíbrio da arma. Algumas pessoas criticaram o design UltiMAK, alegando que o trilho ficará tão quente que irá derreter sua óptica. Tanto faz. Talvez aqueles adeptos de Rambo que gostem de arrancar cinco ou seis tambores de 75 rounds através de seu AK tão rápido quanto podem puxar o gatilho podem ter um problema. Claro, esses caras realmente devem estar filmando RPKs, e não um AMD-65. Por outro lado, se você for um daqueles caras que realmente apontar quando você atirar, você nunca terá um problema. Nós passamos por vários cursos de combate semelhantes aos criados para competições de três armas e o UltiMAK não esquentou o suficiente para nos dar qualquer preocupação com a óptica. Sim, o trem ficou quente, mas não tão quente. Uma grande coisa sobre a América é que o espírito empreendedor ainda está vivo e bem. Há muitas pessoas talentosas lá que vão comprar um produto, descobrir como ele pode ser melhorado e começar uma pequena empresa com o objetivo de produzir produtos para atender às necessidades percebidas e deficiências existentes. Gio Vanderhider é um desses caras. Gio e sua esposa Valerie executaram AMD65Tech fora de sua casa em Grapevine, Texas. Gio é um veterinário da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos que ama gunsmithing e usinagem e tem uma tonelada de talento bruto. Ele desenvolveu um seguimento leal entre os entusiastas da AMD-65 por seus acessórios. Gio foi gentil o suficiente para me enviar alguns dos seus produtos para testar, e não posso dizer o suficiente sobre o quanto estou agradecido. Gio viu promessas no design AMD-65 quando construiu seu primeiro de um kit de peças. Ele rapidamente enfocou suas falhas e decidiu fazer algo a respeito delas. Em primeiro lugar, ele fixou a maior limitação de design ao projetar um riser simples para o estoque da AMD-65s. Seu adaptador de estoque é feito de aço sólido e bem embalado em tubos de vácuo de borracha. A unidade é conectada ao estoque usando dois conjuntos de parafusos com arruelas de trava. It8217s terminou em preto semi-brilhante usando tinta de alta temperatura e alta resistência à abrasão. Se apenas a arma fosse pintada tão bem. O adaptador de estoque faz uma grande diferença nas características de disparo e manipulação da arma. Ao manter o seu Mark I Eyeball no mesmo local disparado após o tiro, você obtém alinhamento de visão mais preciso e repetitivo, aumentando consideravelmente a precisão da arma. Como outro bônus, o adaptador não tem efeito sobre o funcionamento da alça do parafuso. Se você montá-lo em um plano vertical preciso sobre o estoque, isso poderia interferir com a manipulação da alavanca de segurança quando o estoque estiver na posição dobrada. No entanto, você pode ajustar para isso, compensando ligeiramente (canting) o adaptador da vertical para permitir a depuração para a segurança. Para meus propósitos, it8217 não é um problema, independentemente. Se eu tivesse que carregar a arma com a ponta dobrada dobrada, seria em uma Condição 3 modificada (ou seja, revista cheia fechada na câmara vazia, segurança fora). Se você estiver operando em uma área onde você espera contato hostil, o estoque de balanço da AMD deve ser estendido, pois não é a coisa mais fácil de implantar em curto prazo. A foto anterior, acima, também mostra o loop de sling AMD65Techs. Este é um pequeno acessório útil se o seu AMD-65 doesn8217t tiver o anexo de loop de fábrica. Simplesmente se encaixa no buttstock, e fornece um ponto de fixação sólido para a funda. A tinta que usado neste pequeno dispositivo pode exigir algum retoque ocasionalmente com Duracoat ou algo dessas. O último produto que Gio me enviou foi um buffer de recuo. Este dispositivo não é mais do que um sólido bloco de borracha que ele cortou e ajustou habilmente a AMD-65. Gio relata os seguintes aprimoramentos de desempenho do buffer de recuo: Diminuição do recuo do feltro Diminuição do estresse e da fadiga devido ao contato metal-metal Aumento da velocidade da ação, devido ao efeito de giro da borracha Redução de ruído Capa de cobertura de pó mais apertada Impede o bloqueio ocorrendo em Armas que podem ter usado trilhos de receptores Agora eu tenho que dizer que I8217ve teve experiências misturadas com buffers de recuo. Eles podem ser ótimos em armas totalmente automáticas porque muitas vezes baixam a taxa cíclica. Eu religiosamente administra Buffer Technologies buffers no meu HK 91 e HK 93. Mas uma vez eu comprei um Buffer Technologies AKValmet Recoil Buffer e tudo o que fez foi fazer com que o meu Vector Arms AKMS fosse bloqueado repetidamente. No entanto, tentei o buffer Gios na compilação TGI AMD-65 e fiquei satisfeito com o desempenho. O maior efeito é 8211, já que você espera que o 8211 reduza o recuo do feltro. O efeito é sutil no início, mas fica mais visível após um longo dia de filmagem. O efeito é mais pronunciado nos dias quentes, quando a borracha natural é mais suave. A unidade é muito robusta e não consigo vê-la desgastada em breve. Uma coisa a ter em mente se você usar o buffer é que reduz a distância que o parafuso viaja para trás. Se você tiver um corte de retenção de parafuso em sua segurança, talvez seja necessário obter uma nova segurança porque a localização do corte mudará como resultado do buffer. Gio vende alavancas de segurança pré-cortadas para funcionar com o buffer. E falando de pintura, Gio8217 também é um pedaço de artista. As fotos exibidas acima mostram habilidades de Gios com um pincel. A imagem principal destaca uma das compilações pessoais do Gios pessoal AMD-65, que está terminada em um padrão de faixa de tigre na era do Vietnã. A segunda foto mostra um AK romeno pintado em um padrão de neve camo. A pintura TGI na arma de amostra de teste é tão atroz. Vou mandar para Gio para tê-lo tirado quando eu esconder algum dinheiro extra. Estes são acabamentos de pintura altamente intensivos em mão-de-obra, por isso não espero que seja um projeto barato. fique atento para os resultados. Resultados de tiro e precisão Os AK-47 e suas variantes nunca foram conhecidos por serem armas particularmente precisas. Da minha experiência (possuindo oito variantes de AK e dezenas de outros), eu estimaria que a maioria dos AKs dispara naquela faixa de 3-4 MOA. No entanto, minha observação pessoal é difícil para a maioria dos atiradores americanos conseguirem melhor do que 4 8211 8 MOA a 100 metros usando uma variante AK com vistas de ferro, independentemente de quem fabricou a arma. Dito isto, grande parte do potencial de precisão inerente do AK é simplesmente perdido devido ao fato de que os locais primitivos da era da Primeira Guerra Mundial são mal projetados e têm um raio de visão curto (as vistas dianteira e traseira são apenas 15 polegadas separadas uma da outra Em uma variante AK típica). Conforme discutido anteriormente, este último problema é ainda mais ampliado em uma AMD-65, uma vez que as vistas são apenas 11 polegadas de distância. Porque não esperava muito desta arma no departamento de precisão, devo dizer que fiquei completamente impressionado com os resultados do campo. Usando uma vista de ponto vermelho não magnificante Aimpoint Comp 2 (4 MOA), eu consegui os seguintes grupos de 3-shot em 50 jardas (todos os resultados medidos em polegadas): 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.75, 1.8, 1.9, 2.2 , 2,2, 2,4. Eu estava usando munição de bola de 123 gramas de qualidade decente de Remington (UMC) e American Eagle, embora, reconhecidamente, eu não fiz nenhuma anotação sobre qual munição disparou quais grupos (eu sei, conheço erro de amador. Desculpe). Esses tiros foram feitos a partir de um banco de tiro, e o rifle estava descansado em sacos de areia. A pistola dianteira tende a entrar no caminho ao disparar dessa maneira, mas tentei ficar o mais firme possível. Eu atribuo o alto grau de variação no tamanho do grupo a dois fatores: 1) o foregrip vertical dificulta a reposição do banco e 2) o ponto Aimpoints áspero 4-MOA foi projetado para maximizar a velocidade e não precisão. Achei que a pequena carabina poderia fazer ainda melhor do que isso se eu pudesse obter o benefício de uma pequena ampliação do escopo. Então eu fui a uma loja local de artigos esportivos com a intenção de comprar um escopo, mas eles não tiveram nenhum estoque. Em vez disso, comprei um Vortex Tactical SPARC. O SPARC aparentemente representa Speed ​​Point apontando para o combate rápido. Eu vou apostar que o shopping ninjas vai comer isso. Eu realmente não espero estar em qualquer combate rápido em breve, mas eu escolhi o Vortex sobre o praticamente idêntico (fabricado na mesma fábrica chinesa) Bushnell TRS-25 porque o Vortex vem com um acoplador 2x parafuso que eu pensei que poderia ser útil Para testar a precisão da AMD. Para este segundo teste, eu também peguei 80 rodadas da bola Winchester White Box 123 em Wally-World. Os resultados foram novamente surpreendentes. De dez cordas de três disparos a 50 jardas, duas estavam no intervalo de 1 MOA (475 polegadas, 552 polegadas) e outras duas estavam na faixa de 2 MOA (1,03 in. E 1,193 in), com o restante em queda O intervalo MOA de 3 a 4 (1,5 a 2,0 polegadas). A ampliação de 2x tornou as coisas um pouco mais fácil em comparação com o Comp 2 e, sem dúvida, representa esses grupos de meia polegada. Eu encontrei um problema bastante significativo com a compilação do TGI. Depois de dispará-lo agressivamente em um dia particularmente frio, a solda que segura a extensão do barril na pistola rachou, deixando o freio do foice solto. Essa poderia ser uma situação perigosa, porque uma rodada pode bater no freio do focinho quando ele sai do barril. Este pode ser um problema único com essa arma particular, já que o TGI AMD-65 que vi no show de armas na semana passada pareceu ter uma solda muito maior e mais agressiva. Felizmente para mim, um armador local que se especializa em AK trabalha re-fixou e re-soldou a quebra de forma mais forte, por apenas 40,00. Se você é o Oregon e precisa de algum trabalho do AK, ligue para o Jesse no 762llc. No geral, estou muito satisfeito com a compilação TCI AMD-65, além de todas as questões cosméticas. Mais importante, é leve, preciso e confiável. Além disso, ele não exibiu as fraquezas comuns típicas de muitas das construções de AK de extremidade inferior, como postagem de canted, ações de dobra soltas, etc. O som de chocalho do compartimento de tamanho grande é um pouco bummer, mas não faz8217t Parece afetar a confiabilidade, então eu acho que posso viver com isso. O acabamento de tinta TGIs é extremamente destrutivo, mas a função doesn8217t afeta. Aqueles que procuram um acabamento de boa aparência, de alta durabilidade, querem considerar Duracoating a própria carabina ou enviá-la para a AMD65Tech para que Gio trabalhe sua magia nela. Eu também recomendo usar a ótica com o seu AMD-65, o que faz com que seja necessária alguma coisa ao longo das linhas do trilho UltiMAK M7-B. E falando de necessidades, eu simplesmente não posso imaginar possuir um AMD-65 sem esse adaptador de estoque AMD65Tech. Calibre. Ação de 7.62x39mm.

Dito isto, se irritar 8211, Obama recebe um segundo mandato, espera outra corrida em munições e armas malvadas. Style amp Aesthetics Desde que eu era criança, pensei que o AMD-65 era legal. Talvez seja aquele freio de foice de aparência doente. Por outro lado, eu tenho certeza de quem teve a idéia brilhante de usar um segundo punho de pistola (instalado para trás) como um aperto vertical recebeu algum tipo de prêmio de Eficiência de Engenharia do Partido Comunista. E o que exatamente possuía os húngaros para fazer esses apertos de polipropileno aqueles estranhos apertos de pós-acabamento de cor azul-cinzento estão disponíveis aqui: Ergonomia (Tiro) Sem Adaptador de estoque AMD-65Tech com adaptador de estoque AMD-65Tech O aperto vertical frontal é inclinado para a frente em um estranho Ângulo que deixa muito a desejar. O estoque de fio padrão AMD-65 não fornece o operador com qualquer tipo de solda de bochecha, o que dificulta severamente a precisão. O último problema pode ser resolvido com o riser de estoque AMD65Tech, enquanto o primeiro pode ser resolvido com o modelo compacto UltiMAKs AK Modular Rail Forend System 8211. Ergonomia (Transporte) O AMD-65 é pequeno, leve e compacto. Isso me lembra uma cartilagem M-1 dobrável em termos de tamanho e peso. Se o seu AMD-65 doesn8217t tiver uma montagem de sling traseira, o loop de sling AMD65Techs é o ticket. Confiabilidade A arma de teste funcionou com eficiência típica AK eficiência 8211 100.

No entanto, as variantes do AKMS não são o tipo de rifle que você quer pesar com um monte de doodles KISS é o caminho a seguir. Eu recomendo o riser de estoque da AMD65Tech, bem como o excelente trilho M7-B da UltiMAK. Se você tiver alguns extra Benjamins queimando um buraco no seu bolso, o modelo compacto U11MAKs AK Modular Rail Forend System 8211 e um foregrip vertical do aftermarket são complementos de boa aparência. Precisão Os projetos convencionais de AK aren8217t vão ganhar qualquer prêmio por precisão. No entanto, com base em meus dois grupos de meia polegada de 50 jardas, I8217d disse que esta amostra particular tem a capacidade teórica de filmar 1 MOA em 100 jardas. Sua precisão prática do mundo real é um pouco menor do que o 8211, provavelmente, no bairro 2-4 MOA. Em geral, se alguém me perguntasse para qual papel o AMD-65 é o mais adequado, I8217d tem que dizer que é a carabina ideal para ambientes da selva. Eu tive a oportunidade de passar algum tempo em pântanos na Louisiana e na Flórida, bem como nas selvas no Havaí, Panamá, Filipinas, Tailândia, Vietnã, Laos e Camboja, e posso dizer se eu deveria estar armado em qualquer desses ambientes , I8217d estar atingindo a AMD-65 sobre qualquer outra barra de armas nenhuma. A rodada 7.6221539 é ideal para bustin através da cobertura pesada, e a carabina leve e leve seria muito mais fácil de usar no emaranhado de videiras e cobertores que você encontra nesses ambientes. E também é ótimo na gama. Felizmente, a agência não decide sua culpa ou inocência. A Constituição reserva esse trabalho para um tribunal de justiça e um júri de seus pares. Se você estivesse nessa situação e realmente quisesse estar no lado seguro, você poderia tirar temporariamente o estoque da arma, fazendo com que a arma fosse uma pistola. Você precisaria manter o estoque na posse de outra pessoa ou de outra forma torná-lo indisponível. Another way to deal with the situation is to disassemble the gun so that it is no longer functioning, again, keeping some of the key parts somewhere away from your immidiate possession. In my estimation, all that is a bit overkill, esp. if you are not a guy that is otherwise in the government8217s crosshairs for other reasons. Besides, my understanding is that the BATF has since issued a clarification on its ill-advised shoelace order. It would not be the first time a federal agency got it wrong remember the whole ketchup is a vegetable thing Reagan took a lot of flak for that, even thought it could be attributed to some fairly low-level bureaucrats at Dept of Ag. I believe once a firearm is a 8220rifle8221 it can never be converted to a pistol, (might be the other way around though) much like the short barreled shotguns that are AOW8217s, they never had a stock fixed to the reciever so they are not shotguns but 8216smooth bore pistols over 50 caliber8217. Thankfully you would most likley get a jury, and any jury in the country would be hard pressed to convict you because of a defective product. Wow Joe. Tons of work in this. Obrigado. I have an AMD 65 mod:SA2000m by TGI and it jams or 8220stove pipes8221 frequently. I have been buying bulk quanities of Tulammo in 8220spam cans8221 simply because it is affordable. Is the ammo the problem i have field stripped it, cleaned it, and lubed it with white litium grease thoroughly every time it8217s shot but it8217s still a problem at least once per 30 rnd. clip8230somtimes more Any suggestions Honestly it is probably the rifle, TGI has sometimes had spotty QC. Tulammo is about the same quality as any other RussianEastern European brand and what AKs should eat for breakfast. Just to cover all the bases, I would try some other ammo like Yugo or even U. S. made brass cased but I don8217t expect that much of a difference. Stovepipes normally would be an extractorejector issue. i have 1000 rnds of Golden Tiger on the way8230.i8217ll keep you posted. Dan AK47 world would agree that it IS the gun8230we shall see. Any other suggestions P A Figueroa says: Tim Please let us know if you were able to determine the the reason fot the jamming problem. I bought one which seems to have the same problem. Tim, I am also interested to know if you find the reason for the jamming problem. I bought one that seems to have the same issue. Do not use brass cased ammo in any AK that isn8217t a Yugoslavian or an Egyptian because sometimes it can rip tha brass cased shell apart inside the chamber steer clear of Yugo or Walmart brass 7.6221539 use steel cased ammo like the AK was designed to take I like golden tiger works fine no issues and not bad on the wallet Could the rear stock on the above firearm be changed to a collapsible stock such as the Tapco AK T6 Collapsible Stock Not on an AMD, it8217s folder is built into the rear of the receiver like underfolders, triangle, and polymer folders. East German, Romanian, and Polish wire folders (with a pronounced curve) go into the normal rear receiver and could be changed to a collapsible stock. No. MattCff. You wrong. it is 80 A block, what is fit in the end of the AMD and you can attach an Ace folding stock. I will look up who makes it. Your right, I forgot about the Krebs block. if you get the Krebs block at 90 and the ACE pig nose adapter, a buffer tube, and a M4 style stock you can have a folding collapsible stock. But he was asking specifically about a Tapco collapsible style standard rear trunnion setup (also VLTOR and CAA make a metal version) so my mind slips on the pretty expensive and rare Krebs option, sorry I see Well using a Krebs adapter. or even do a little modification will allow him to use different folding stocks. I had only problem with it, I was using a low setup scope, and the Krebs block almost knocked my teeth out I guess the other problem was I bought a short version of Ace stock. The UTG quad-rail system for 70 bucks is the best system for the AMD 65. Acts as my red dot mount, my Mako front grip mount, my laser mount and it still holds zero on both the red dot and laser after 500 rounds shot through it. No doubt the UltiMak system is nice, but it8217s way over-priced. What would of cost me over 400 for the UltiMak optics rail and replacement front grip(my AMD 65 cost me 450) instead the system I chose cost me 70 going UTG. I was weary of quality but not anymore. I8217m ordering from AMD65 site now, plan to buy the works. Love the AMD 65 by TGI, my favorite range gun now. I have a Romak and a Classic AK and the AMD 65 not only competes well in accuracy but it blows them away in every other category including the fun factor. Desculpa. The M7-B is only 98 bucks. I was looking at another optic piece from the same company for 220, and another that replaces the front rail forearm for 220. I did all this with the one 70 dollar UTG piece. I sure the M7-B works well. The Ultimak gas tube alone isn8217t really in the same class as the UTG Quad rail. Really it is a great method to forward mount a red dot or scout scope as low as possible. Where it really shines is for co-witnessing. I really don8217t ever recommend the lower tri rail because there are better options at that price point (at its time of release though it was almost the only quad rail in the game). But the gas tube upper alone rocks and allows you to be more closer to a traditional AK aesthetic. The UTG is a decent value quad rail for sure. A lot of people look down their noses at it without giving it a chance. However, it isn8217t a 922r countable part due to it being made in China. For a little more money you can upgrade to a Midwest Industries handguard that is more quality and is US made which helps with 922r. If you want to co-witness it has several optic specific uppers made in conjunction with US Palm. They also offer an extended version like the Ultimak lower, but at a better price point and a slick sided version with bolt on rails for only the place you need them. I think this system has the best chance of returning to zero after removing the gas tube for maintenance compaired to these other options of how its mounts to the barrel. However, I still wouldn8217t trust it as a true return to zero system. For that you need a something like an RS Regulate side mount (which, if you are into side mounts, rock) or a TWS dust cover (maybe a Parabellum Armament one too but I still want to see more independent testing). Actually, the UTG Quad rail for both the ARs and AKs are Made in USA. Mine is printed and stamped Made In USA. I8217m fairly certain it would qualify as a 922r part being it8217s made in the states. Not sure where you got that china nonsense. I do know some UTG products, such as a few soft cases I have are made in china but this specific item is not. For 922r on the AMD all one needs to do is replace gas piston, after-market muzzle brake and add a Tapco trigger andor pistol grip, most AMDs of which already come with all of these except the USA made piston. Honestly, leaving the AMD completely stock is the best thing to do. But I just didn8217t like the look or feel of the foregrip and after all mods were added I have had no issues with accuracy. My only gripe now is I can8217t find a soul that will remove and replace the AMD barrel. I have a new USA made chrome-lined barrel 12.5 and most gunsmiths won8217t even touch em. steven jennett says: I have an amd 65 ak and find it hard to put my face next to the stock. it also is short. It shoots great and a good buy for the money cosidering you get actual hungarian receiver, crome line barrel and front grip. I didnt like the dust cover hard to put on any one else have this problem It kicks like like a mule and loud gets looks at the range. I would like to buy a red dot scope but wasnt sure if it is worth getting or leave it the way it is. You can do a few things about the stock. You can go to the amd65tech site and grab the 35 dollar stock adapter as I did, really helps with aiming and feel. Here is a vid of it if links are allowed Or you can go the 250 dollar route and by the block, pin and custom folding stock. I don8217t have a link for those pieces but when I was debating on doing this I found them doing basic google searches. It added up to almost 300 bucks. The dust cover can be tough sometimes, just be mean with it. You have to hit that notch at an angle and drop and push in one motion and it sets in just fine. I put a basic recoil buffer in and that helps with kick, really you just need to get use to it. amd65tech has buffers to. I bought the ghost ring front sightpin add-on from amd65tech because I wanted more accuracy from the stock sights and it helped greatly. But I also wanted a reddot so I grabbed a Burris fastfire III on the UTG rail. The only downside using the UTG is you cannot in most cases co-witness the fixed sights to the reddot. For me this is meaningless being my Burris reddot is a quick detach and when I use my reddot no matter what firearm I never look at my fixed sights, only the reddot, but if co-witness is a must grab a rail system like the US Palm that allows this. But if you are not a big fan of reddots or you have never used one I would stick with the irons and maybe grab the front ring sight Gio sells at amd65tech. No matter what rail system you would use you need a quality reddot on a gun with so much recoil. So expect to spend 200-400 for a mountrail and good reddot, many spend more which I find crazy on a weapon that costs as little as 300. If you don8217t plan to add a light, laser, or new foregrip I would say no to a new rail and reddot with this gun. I have a very powerful light and a Mako foregrip so I needed a quad rail anyway and even though I love my reddot on this gun it was kind of a waste of money. This gun is a great short-mid range weapon, 25-250 yards, so fixed sights are good to go. It all comes down to if you like reddots. As for magnified optics the ONLY route there is buying the side mount system, no need for a aftermarket rail. Hi, Great article. I live in the Communist country of New York, I was wondering, To purchase an AMD-65, The stock can8217t folding one. I love the website amd65tech . Would it be possible to make it stay open Can you post a photo of the co-witness or e-mail it8230I can8217t imagine that or zeros would be that off from one another preventing me from seeing my front site post. The problem with mine is my front site post is too low and not visible through the vortex8230 Awesome article Joe Congratulation I was in the military and the original AMD 65 was my personal weapon along with a crap PA side gun. We spent lots of time on the shooting range. The targets we where shooting at: 100 yards Simple 10 paper target, had to shoot 47 out 5 shots 250 yards automated mimic human head, had to take it down in a short burst. 400 yards automated standing human mimic waist up, again with single short burst had to go down 800 yards an automated mimic helicopter also had to hit it with one single short burst. Every soldier had to qualify on these targets in our unit or they got transferred to some Bokor ugro (bush jumper) front line unit. We had no scope, or red dot sights kidding me didnt even existed Red Dot back then, and how long would have lasted a scope We used the gun the way it came out of FEG Its an awesome firearm the original does not rattle and such as described the TGI version. It is accurate enough. When ever we where in the woods for training exercise, we where hunting with it. We had roasted boar. IMO the 4-500 is way too cheap for AMD 65. Ugly gun yes, even the original gun lost the paint at the 1st training exercise, and old design yes, still how many AKs and AMDs out there. Still today lots of countries use this gun as the main firearm of their armed forces. You can ABUSE the AMD 65, mud, dirt, water, you name it only shake it load it and shoot it. If I remember correctly the muzzle velocity is in the 700ms range 7.62 ammo, its a handheld cannon. In war that would be my choice of weapon. If you think you can hide behind 12 solid concrete or a vehicle, or even 1 steel you are wrong. I know lots guns out there which are more accurate, and or longer range, but I dont think there is any gun out there which could take such beating as an AMD65 can take, and still singing the note you conduct. By the way the original clip holds 30 and we possessed extended clips as well. Easy to load the clips need no muscle like some other clips. Big . is tend to over heat on excessive use in a hands of an untrained shooter, why because you wont take down your target in a short burst, and you have to rain bullets on your target, reload repeat. Fix: carry fresh eggs once is overheated just break the eggs on the barrel breakfast served. Sincerely Laszlo mike barker says: I have an amd65 I love it. It8217s the greatest rifle I own it just sucks cause not alota options for it like different stock. I did find a dust cover with 3 rails mounted on it at aa-ok it was like 26 bucks so I have a holographic sight and laser on it now. Also if you are looking for one stay away from century arm int. They make pure junk I8217ve seen they8217re wasrs blow up and injure people also there cetmes are death traps they could careless bout things like head space and qualify for that matter. Tgi is the way to go Have one of the FEG receiver AMD658217s and have always been pleased with it. Yes, the paint does chip and it8217s LOUD. You need to take these guns for what they are and have realistic expectations. Mine has the wooden grips and only 20 round magazines are convenient. It8217s the ultimate cool gun at the range however 8- I have a FEG SA 2000 that will accept only ten-round magazines. I am reluctant to attempt any modifications on the piece to accept standard AK magazines. Where can I locate additional ten-round magazines for this rifle I was in military around 1980. most part wasn8217t painted but oil darkened.. barrel inside was hardchromed. we saw demonstration films, (movie) railroad track was shot trough in some conditions8230. the 30 round magazine we used. the 10 round magazine was used by sergeants and up.. we had to shot to 300 meter target, a bust.. yes it was possible to get very great result. most of us shot the target.. overall we loved this gun.. and still cant understand they stopped to produce.. im also little confused why folks welding the muzzler. it never came off. the pin held very securely. the handgrips were made not of wood, but polyamide, and it didn8217t break. they were same, for the simpler production.. the factory was a gas appliance factory actually, but was prepared in case war within a couple days transforming into gun manufacturing..

Mas. RAILS: I replaced the forward grip and handguard with the UTG rail system, which is great, although the Ultimak system (which replaces the gas tube for 98 and then you can get a 220 piece that puts rails at 3, 6, and 9 oclock. This setup seems like it would better if you have the . A red dot scope sits higher than the sight plane so you cant co-witness with the iron sights, which it looks like you can do on the Ultimak setup. STOCK: Shooting it with the stock folded and holding tension with a 1- or 2-point sling is great for CQB, but I would like to have a cheek weld when I unfold it. There are two options, one is a bolt-on wire piece for about 37 (shipped) from amd65tech and the other is a 98 adapter from Krebs Custom that allows you to put any AR stock on. Both look pretty good, but I think I like the first one better. The wire stock has a very unique look to it and it wont add too much weight. Does anyone have any experience or advice on either of these points Thanks Last edited by kev 03-09-2011 at 10:22 PM. Copyright copy 2014Hungarian AMD 65 AK-47 Type 7.62x39 Semi-Auto Hi-Cap Rifle w Original Polymer Grips Brutus Description We are so proud to offer this high quality AMD-65 variation AK rifle with original FEG receiver. Rifles are professionally finished and feature a new U. S. made barrel and highly desirable Tapco G-2 trigger group. This Side Fold ( AMD-65 Version ) features original black polymer grips with a wire folding stock, while our Fixed Stock ( AMD 63 Versions ) all have the original black polymer grips and a U. S. made stock. This variation ships with 1-30 round Tapco AK mag. Nota. These rifles are built from original surplus part sets. Metal components have been professionally parkerized to a like new finish however furniture is original and may show some rub or finish wear. Trust me though, overall these are nice. These rifles come to us with 1-30 round mag and so that is the way we ship them. However twenty round mags are original to the AMD rifle due to the front vertical grip making the 30s a little difficult to insert and extract. 30s will go in and out but must be maneuvered around the forward grip. However, you may also want to purchase a 20 round mag with this variation. The AMD series of AK rifle is lightweight. accurate, and highly maneuverable along with featuring what is probably the finest AK muzzle break ever designed. Very limited quantities. Get yours today.

The US made barrels look very good, Bore is Great. No metal shavings inside, not oiled and ready to fire. The tapco g2 triggers are excellent. Folding stock on the amd65 is very solid and tight. Would recommend for sure Fantastic Side Folding AK Review by POGMarineFPS aka Johnny on 7252016 First off the Wire Stock is rugged and very stable, no wobble. Mag well is a big large but works just fine. It makes a nice truck gun, and very fun gun to have. Has an original Hungarian made FEG receiver. I am glade I got mine. Finish is not the greatest but the parts are outstanding quality. Well worth the money, if you want a light truck gun AK buy it Review by Steven on 12242016 Classic was great to deal with. The rifle did come in a bit late because of the pending California Assault weapons law delaying my order by about five days, not a big deal. I initially paid 550 for it but the rifle went for sale for 500 a few days later. Classic was kind enough to give me a 50 credit, thanks for price matching I received the rifle, inspected it, went through the FFL paper work and received what I paid for plus the ten twenty round Korean metal AK mags I ordered for this rifle specifically. Lets start off by saying this. For this amount of 550 or less you are getting a stamped AK with military grade front and rear trunions, (I believe they are forged), good parkerized finish, at least on mine the bolt carrier group and front trunion have matching serial numbers, in a light weight package. Now this is not a standard AK by any means. Theres no bayonet lug, no cleaning rod lug, no side rail to mount a scope. This rifle has two purposes in my eyes, light weight close quarters defensive carbine and truck gun. If you can live without the frills such as no bayonet lug, cleaning rod, or side rail to mount a scope then this is the rifle for you I have only ran about eighty rounds through it. There was one failure to feed on the first magazine but after that it ran fine. I will say this, the trigger at least on my example is really light. When I first fired it it went off much sooner than expected. Some people may like that, however I like a heavier trigger around the 5 to 7 pound mark for a defensive rifle, I find slightly heavier triggers are easier for me to stage shots with. Regardless, at 50 to 60ft the rifle was shooting about point of aim and was grouping very well. The forward vertical assist works wonders for me and is very comfortable to use. I will say though the front end will start smoking after forty rounds in rapid succession. Also as others have noted, 30 round mags are a bit tricky to insert but the 20 round Korean mags are not that hard. I did have to modify the rear locking lugs of some of the Korean mags I bought by filing them lightly as they were too tight to lock into the mag catch and I did some minor filing on the mag catch also. Another thing to note, on this folding wire stock the rear is padded. Im not sure what the material is if its rubber or dense foam but it works and makes the gun very comfortable to shoot. Personally I held the rifle almost dead center with my arms folded inwards and I had a decent check weld on it. I find the stock as is to be comfortable but your millage may vary. Im 5 10. If youre above 6 foot I could see this rifle being a bit too small for you. Now granted I have only put in 80 rounds through it but on the basis of what Im seeing so far this is the best budget AK currently being offered. As I mentioned, as long as you dont mind the fact the AMD 6365 pattern is unconventional in its stock, shorter gas piston, and other features compared to the vast majority of AKMs buy this gun. It has an original FEG receiver with quality rivets, good front and rear trunions, quality bolt and bolt carrier. The only thing I would of done differently is put a 14 inch US barrel on it and welded the brake on to make it legal for US sale as a rifle. That should bring the overall barrel length to 16 inches. I like the original style front muzzle break and if the barrel was the original 12 inches it would make sense but at a 16 inches the muzzle break does make the gun rather front heavy. This is not overly so but its definitely noticeable. Thankfully the overall weight of the rifle is good so its not too much of an issue. So to summarize, this is an excellent rifle Buy it while Clearview Investments still has the parts kits on hand to assemble this AMD pattern rifle Dedicated to steel ammo Review by Alvin on 12162016 I mostly shoot in an indoor range which requires brass. No problems with the rifle except it destroys my brass cases so that I cannot reload them. Otherwise, I am very happy with it and will just dedicate to outdoor range use or other locations where I can use steel. The fit, finish, and function are great. The stock is a little loose folded but very rigid when locked back. If it didnt wreck my brass I would give it a five. I had planned to add a side mounting rail for optics, but since I dont need to worry about a brass catcher, that will probably go by the wayside. I recieved the plastic stock cover as well but will probably not install due to the wire cool factor and not going for optics. Good firearm at a great price. Easy purchase process on line and I love to watch the videos. Great buy Review by Wing2003 on 11302016 I got to the range with it. adjusted the sights. just great. This set up is just so simple, dependable and fun to shoot. Fed everything flawlessly. It just works. Yeah, the sights are kind of basic but hey. they work. If you want bells and whistles, go spend another 1300.00 But if you want an AK thats reliable, accurate and wont let you down, this is your AK. I mean, its insanely good for this or any other price. If youre looking for your first AK to get into the game, this is it. No regrets. Altamente recomendado. Pass the ammo AMD 65 is a fantastic rifle Review by billdozier on 10292016 I really cant believe that this rifle is priced so inexpensively relative to other AK builds. The quality is far beyond its price point. The finish is nice and even and everything is tight (for an ak). The FEG receiver is top of the line quality, all of the rivets were perfect and the bore is bright and shiny. If youre thinking about getting one of these, do it now before people discover this gem and they double in price. Plus the supply of these outstanding FEG receivers wont last forever Positive Review by Andrew on 10282016 The rifle shipped quickly and shipping was cheap. The rifle looks good and the quality is there but I have 3 minor issues. The first is the stock, it wobbles a bit which seems odd for AMD rifles. The second are the grips, they were scratched and rough on my hands so I put electrical tape on them. The last issue is the magazine wobble, all mags I have tried in the gun wobble, but none seem to malfunction so its not really a bad thing. Overall, Im extremely happy with it at 499 and I would buy another if I could afford it right now. Whats not to love Review by Tom on 10272016 Great gun. Anyone who is into ak variants should have one of these in their collection. I cant say enough about how much I like this gun. Lightweight, highly maneuverable, great trunk gun, and just plain fun to shoot. A lot of people dont like these beacause of the exposed gas tube and how hot it gets. But for me I dont really see the issue I wear a gloves when shooting anyway. Thanks classic. Great buy. Review by Joseph on 10232016 Thought Id better get an AK before the election. Classic firearms made the process seamless with easy purchasing and shipping process. Their packaging was first rate. The AMD 65 and accessories were exactly as advertised. The fit and finish is very nice. Make sure you clean any new gun before you fire it just like is always recommended. My 65 had a metal shard on the piston that could have caused trouble. The two grips dont match - one is used and the other is new - but the rest of the gun is great. The rear grip was loose and so easy to tighten. Took my new AK variant to my range and it runs on the cheapest Russian ammo that I can find without a single issue. Im very pleased with this purchase. Im impressed Review by Wing2003 on 1062016 Just got it yesterday. Stripped it down - examined and cleaned it. Very solid in and out. Workmanship looks very good. The finish. its there and I dont care ltggt Magazines are a little wobbly but feed and eject well. Will shoot it Saturday at which time I will most likely add the last star :) Very pleased with what I see. This kind of quality in an AK 47 at this price point. insane Id buy a crate if I could. Classic strikes again. EXCELLENT Oh, I bought the recoil buffer, a couple of steel mags and the add on stock. The add on stock is very adequate in case you want the wire arm for the cool but want the stock option. Couldnt be happier with this purchase. I mean really - at this price point Get em while you can :) Best AK deal around Review by DanMac on 1052016 First purchase with Classic. Overall very pleased. Ordered online, received in just 4 days, including weekend. Agradável. Rifle is super high quality build on Hungarian parts kit and feg, thick 1.5 mm receiver. Fit and finish is awesome. Parkerized finish looks very nice. Folding wire stock is super tight and locks up like a vault-- zero wobble, open or closed. Taco G2 trigger is really smooth. Mine is pretty accurate right out of the box, shooting through my own bullet holes at 15 yards, havent shot at any longer range yet. Wire stock is not uncomfortable to me, feels good, and rifle is really light, much lighter than any AK Ive shot. I was a little worried about the mag well (because these were originally made for single stacks) but no problem here, its perfect, all my mags fit tight, magpul mags, steel, Tapco smoothies, actually the tapco that came with it was the loosest of any, but still not bad. I love this rifles looks, some think its ugly, but I think it rocks, its a blue collar, utilitarian workhorse. I like having the vertical front grip, it works. Ive had zero issues with 30 round mag interference, 20s are cool but not necessary. Mine is solid, smooth action, safety lever is not too tight, no rattles. I did have 2 minor issues: My vertical front grip was a little loose, took a quarter turn with the screwdriver. The rear sight leaf was a little lopsided, apparently this not uncommon with AKs, though Ive never had this problem before. It was accurate the way it was, but it drove me nuts so I tweaked her a little, now its good. This one comes with the full length 16quot barrel and Hungarian muzzle brake--screwed on, not welded. I have no complaints with this gun or with Classic, thanks. I look forward to doing business with you again. Fav ak Review by Ralph cho on 9282016 Like this ak very much it is very accurate more than my polish and Romanian rifles I did move the front grip foward one inch which makes it much easier to remove 30rd mags also bought the plastic stock to get a good sight picture after my first three shots I had to walk up to see where was hitting to my surprise there were three holes touching in my 34quot bullseye couldnt believe it but there it was great rifle Review by franko69 on 9282016 The amd 65 is an awesome AK 47 variant, for the price, 499, it cant be beat. The prices of AKs are now higher than AR, s This rifle shoots with no problems, the mags rattle a little, but most aks do this. There is no problem using a 30 round magazine, the foregrip is no problem. The forend and grip can be replaced with an UTG forend with rails, that might look and function better. Classic Firearms delivers again, great prices and great service Cant beat it Review by Anthony R. on 9232016 First off this is my first purchase from Classic Firearms. I bought an AMD65. Really surprised at the quality of it. Side folder is tight, dust cover fit is very snug and over all build quality is very good. 1 day after I bought it they went on sale. Go figure huh. I called Classic to see if they would match the sale price. They said they would since the FFL hadnt received it yet. Sure enough they did just that. I got an email for a 50 credit back to my card. No argument no hassle. It is hard to find an on line merchant that will do that Fast shipping excellent price 500. No complaints here Thanks Classic, Ill be buying more from you Nice AK variant Review by jeff on 8182016 Classic service is 5 stars A I ordered this rifle Saturday and picked it up on the next Wednesday after work. The price came down after my online purchase. I was credited the difference. Outstanding service. Thanks Janet The rifle looks good. I do have a couple issues. The wire stock locks up perfectly when in use. Flops around badly when stowed. The magazines are looser then any AK I own or have used. I do have some Croation BHO mags that fit great. Plastic mags, Chinese, etc are very loose. If you are thinking about an AK - for the money - I recommend getting this one. Hoping to warm it up good this weekend. 5 stars so far. Review by J Smith on 7152016 Even though it took two weeks to get this gun. I love it so far. Ive made a couple upgrades cosmetically and plan to hit the range soon Glad I got one before they went out of stock. Stellar purchase Review by Micheal on 712016 Picked up my long awaited AMD65 from the FFL yesterday. Havent had a chance to warm it up yet, and will give further review after the initial range visit, but so far. VERY PLEASED Finish isnt what I consider 100, bit for a 500 heavy wall AK, its more than adequate. Fit is superb, not a loose rivet, component or cover to be found This thing is light as hell. My Century AK74 with full magpul furniture is heavier Love the folding stock, release is a bit tight but better than loose 20rd Korean mags fit excellent as does the tapco it came with. So far, very happy Something tells me this will be my quotgo toquot rifle if it shoots as well as Im hoping. Very pleased Review by Cole on 6142016 Very happy with the gun, very lightweight. Pretty accurate. Shipped quickly. Will most likely be purchasing another in the not to distant future. HOLY AMD BATMAN Review by ibberman on 4202016 Just picked up the AMD 65 yesterday. Havent had a chance to clean it or try it out yet. It was a good price considering the current market, and easily 200 less than any other folding stock AK Ive seen - such as Serbian M70AB2. Quality is on par with those that cost a bit more as well. Rifle has a nice (exterior) finish, and parts are straight. The folding wire stock is sturdier than it looks, and operates well. Slightly stiff, not sloppy. The model I purchased was imported with original Hungarian receiver, probably in a low capacity configuration. Appears to have been modified after import for accepting wider double stack mags. metal shavings still present inside the rifle - which is why Ill clean it out before using. One of the mag well dimples was partially ground off, not noticeable from the extetior, just a bit sloppy. Also, the magazines that I tried (so far just Tapco and Bulgarian polymer) fit, but with plenty of side to side movement. Typically the steel magazines are even narrower, which I havent tried any yet. As long as it functions this wont be a problem though. Until I have a chance to try it out I cannot give a full review. The most common variant of this rifle is the Romanian WASR, which has had a mixed reputation because of sloppy magazine well modification and misaligned parts. My experience is that the AMD65 has a worse magazine fit than a recent model WASR, although the fit amp finish may be a little bit nicer than the WASR. The WASR is about 130 more, and probably worth it based on current quality and a CHF chrome lined barrel. Also, the WASR has a side dovetail for otics, which anyone over 40 will appreciate. The WASR is probably the best buy for a current AK based on function. However, the AMD 65 is very compact amp lightweight. Its also very nice looking amp unique. This rifle has a new 16quot barrel, not the original 12quot barrel. Personally, I prefer the standard length barrel for accuracy, this rifle is still very compact when folded If it works, will be very much worth the price. As for the 30 round magazines, they fit just fine, even with the forward pistol grip. Perhaps the sloppy fit will help make the mag. changes, as long as they feed reliably and dont fall out. Therefore theres no need to invest in the 20 round magazines just for functionality reasons, though if someone wanted a more authentic look that would make sense also. AMD-65 was Good value Review by James on 2172016 have purchased a bunch of items from Classic. This ones finish left me feeling eh. the plastic pistol grips were a mess - chipped etc - expected as they state that clearly. Now, the finish in a supposedly new barrel was spotty at best, and the bolt carrier finish, once again spotty. Ill probably have to re-do these. Packaging also left a little to be desired, no box except for what it was shipped in and some paper thrown in to quottryquot to keep it in place, but it arrived unharmed. Now with those negatives out of the way, the sights are dead on, assemblyworkmanship seems good to very good. Nothing loose or pins coming out. Magazines fit great, steel or polymer, barely any wobble at all. The 20 round magazines classic also sells fit very snug and fed flawlessly. I purchased this to mostly have the FEG receiver, which was in good shape. I plan on getting a new 12.5quot chrome lined barrel and tacking the break to it to make it more quotoriginalquot. I planned on updating this anyway with aftermarket parts. As for the price I think it is the best deal for a hi cap AK variant out there at the moment. Great rifle, smooth action, twice the gun of my WASR 1063 Review by Mike B on 2112016 I sat on the sideline for over a year debating on buying this rifle. I purchased a WASR 1063 2 years ago and Ive had to do quite a few things to it to bring it up to par. This rifle was good to go right out of the box. Smooth action and straight front sights. I love the look and the feel of the rifle. Even my girlfriend noticed how much more smoother it was and the first thing she said was, quotI love these sites. much better than the WASR. So if youve been on the sideline hesitant, yes this rifle is worth the We love it. So glad we were able to get one. Thank you Classic Arms once again Very nice gun. Review by Wayne on 1222016 It looks like brand new and mostly is just that. Ive only had it a few days and cant wait to empty a few mags. If it shoots as good as it looks it will be a fine gun. Ill let you know how it shoots in a week or two. After cleanin, fired several hundred rounds with no issues Review by V. M on 1112016 Weapon was in great shape when unwrapped. after a good cleaning and a heavy coat of lube. fired several hundred rounds with out an issue. This weapon is light and after a short time, we were comfortable with the wire stock. In a confided space this is the weapon to have. We used metal mags they fit well with little wobble. The 20 round mags go in easy, 30s a little slower. Five starts for the weapon and Five starts for the staff. GREAT buy. Very nice clean rifle with issues Review by Joey P on 11252015 Rifle is very nice, and clean. looks unused. Unfortunately has a US made 16quot barrel (I knew this of course). Not sure why the 12.5quot barrel cant be put on with the welded muzzle break and extension but. Receiver does NOT match rest of the rifle (which all matches). Trigger pin and Hammer pin were loose. Still have to get in there to fix. I guess quality control isnt an issue when these get shipped out. Box it came in was very badly damaged. Not sure if thats an issue with Classic or not, but packing was nominal. Very nice rifle. Finish is very nice as well as the plastic. If it went for the pins mentioned, this would have got 5 stars. two pins loose. Cmon guys. My mind was blown Review by Austin on 9202015 When I opened this gun I was very surprised at the overall look The fit and finish was very nice. As well, I was a little worried that this firearm was going to be the usual parts kit quality, but Im 100 confident that this gun was never used before. It accepts all the magazines I have perfectly. Tapco smooth and standard side mags, croatian and yugo steel, promag and I. o. inc polymer, and the best so far are the korean 20 round steel mags I got from classic. They fit and shoot flawlessly. The gun shoots he great and surprised me on the accuracy. Definitely a must buy Good, but some problems Review by Miz on 932015 Overall, I really like my AMD-65. However, I had the following problems: First, and most importantly, after approximately 98 rounds, one of the trigger pins started to back out. This resulted in the safety lever not blocking the disconnector, and RESULTED IN THE WEAPON FIRING WITH SAFETY ON (with trigger pull). My safety selector is now quite bent. It did not result in the weapon doubling or firing without pulling the trigger. The root cause was a spring that is meant to sit in a groove in the trigger pinto keep it in place. There are apparently after market parts for this problem, and is somewhat common, given that this is a somewhat common AK problem in general, I raised my rating from 2 to 3 stars. After the first 100 rounds, my vertical foregrip is loose. Im sure this can be corrected easily. Other than the aforementioned issues, the gun runs flawlessly. I am able to insert 30 round (metal and poly) mags (korean, tapco, bulgarian) with no issues whatsoever. Im not a really experienced AK person, but the gas system may be over charged. The cases are thrown 20 feet outdoors. 5 stars to classic firearms for a great deal and fast shipping. Great rifle at a great price Review by Steve on 7222015 Very good rifle. I was surprised by the accuracy, even with the wire stock. Its very light and easy to hold steady even while rapidly firing. I had a few malfunctions but those were due to the surplus Croatian magazines I was using. Keep in mind that regular magazines will have a hard time fitting due to the foregrip being in the way. I knew this before I purchased the rifle so I cant complain. Drum magazines fit perfectly though. Light, Flat, and Fast Review by rwponline on 6142015 Great little AK, very flat (no wider than the receiver), very light (about 6.5 lbs), and very fast on target thanks to the vertical foregrip and massive flash hiderbrake. The side folding wire stock locks in both positions, and is quick to deploy or fold. The VFG does interfere with smooth mag changes when using 30 round mags (it was designed for 20 rnd mags), but if you dont mind doing some modifications it can be replaced, cut down, or moved forward. Check items to add to the cart or select all Brutus Description We are so proud to offer this high quality AMD-65 variation AK rifle with original FEG receiver. Rifles are professionally finished and feature a new U. S. made barrel and highly desirable Tapco G-2 trigger group. This Side Fold ( AMD-65 Version ) features original black polymer grips with a wire folding stock, while our Fixed Stock ( AMD 63 Versions ) all have the original black polymer grips and a U. S. made stock. This variation ships with 1-30 round Tapco AK mag. Nota. These rifles are built from original surplus part sets. Metal components have been professionally parkerized to a like new finish however furniture is original and may show some rub or finish wear. Trust me though, overall these are nice. These rifles come to us with 1-30 round mag and so that is the way we ship them. However twenty round mags are original to the AMD rifle due to the front vertical grip making the 30s a little difficult to insert and extract. 30s will go in and out but must be maneuvered around the forward grip. However, you may also want to purchase a 20 round mag with this variation. The AMD series of AK rifle is lightweight. accurate, and highly maneuverable along with featuring what is probably the finest AK muzzle break ever designed. Very limited quantities. Get yours today.

Would recommend for sure Fantastic Side Folding AK Review by POGMarineFPS aka Johnny on 7252016 First off the Wire Stock is rugged and very stable, no wobble. Mag well is a big large but works just fine. It makes a nice truck gun, and very fun gun to have. Has an original Hungarian made FEG receiver. I am glade I got mine. Finish is not the greatest but the parts are outstanding quality. Well worth the money, if you want a light truck gun AK buy it Review by Steven on 12242016 Classic was great to deal with. The rifle did come in a bit late because of the pending California Assault weapons law delaying my order by about five days, not a big deal. I initially paid 550 for it but the rifle went for sale for 500 a few days later. Classic was kind enough to give me a 50 credit, thanks for price matching I received the rifle, inspected it, went through the FFL paper work and received what I paid for plus the ten twenty round Korean metal AK mags I ordered for this rifle specifically. Lets start off by saying this. For this amount of 550 or less you are getting a stamped AK with military grade front and rear trunions, (I believe they are forged), good parkerized finish, at least on mine the bolt carrier group and front trunion have matching serial numbers, in a light weight package. Now this is not a standard AK by any means. Theres no bayonet lug, no cleaning rod lug, no side rail to mount a scope. This rifle has two purposes in my eyes, light weight close quarters defensive carbine and truck gun. If you can live without the frills such as no bayonet lug, cleaning rod, or side rail to mount a scope then this is the rifle for you I have only ran about eighty rounds through it. There was one failure to feed on the first magazine but after that it ran fine. I will say this, the trigger at least on my example is really light. When I first fired it it went off much sooner than expected. Some people may like that, however I like a heavier trigger around the 5 to 7 pound mark for a defensive rifle, I find slightly heavier triggers are easier for me to stage shots with. Regardless, at 50 to 60ft the rifle was shooting about point of aim and was grouping very well. The forward vertical assist works wonders for me and is very comfortable to use. I will say though the front end will start smoking after forty rounds in rapid succession. Also as others have noted, 30 round mags are a bit tricky to insert but the 20 round Korean mags are not that hard. I did have to modify the rear locking lugs of some of the Korean mags I bought by filing them lightly as they were too tight to lock into the mag catch and I did some minor filing on the mag catch also. Another thing to note, on this folding wire stock the rear is padded. Im not sure what the material is if its rubber or dense foam but it works and makes the gun very comfortable to shoot. Personally I held the rifle almost dead center with my arms folded inwards and I had a decent check weld on it. I find the stock as is to be comfortable but your millage may vary. Im 5 10. If youre above 6 foot I could see this rifle being a bit too small for you. Now granted I have only put in 80 rounds through it but on the basis of what Im seeing so far this is the best budget AK currently being offered. As I mentioned, as long as you dont mind the fact the AMD 6365 pattern is unconventional in its stock, shorter gas piston, and other features compared to the vast majority of AKMs buy this gun. It has an original FEG receiver with quality rivets, good front and rear trunions, quality bolt and bolt carrier. The only thing I would of done differently is put a 14 inch US barrel on it and welded the brake on to make it legal for US sale as a rifle. That should bring the overall barrel length to 16 inches. I like the original style front muzzle break and if the barrel was the original 12 inches it would make sense but at a 16 inches the muzzle break does make the gun rather front heavy. This is not overly so but its definitely noticeable. Thankfully the overall weight of the rifle is good so its not too much of an issue. So to summarize, this is an excellent rifle Buy it while Clearview Investments still has the parts kits on hand to assemble this AMD pattern rifle Dedicated to steel ammo Review by Alvin on 12162016 I mostly shoot in an indoor range which requires brass. No problems with the rifle except it destroys my brass cases so that I cannot reload them. Otherwise, I am very happy with it and will just dedicate to outdoor range use or other locations where I can use steel. The fit, finish, and function are great. The stock is a little loose folded but very rigid when locked back. If it didnt wreck my brass I would give it a five. I had planned to add a side mounting rail for optics, but since I dont need to worry about a brass catcher, that will probably go by the wayside. I recieved the plastic stock cover as well but will probably not install due to the wire cool factor and not going for optics. Good firearm at a great price. Easy purchase process on line and I love to watch the videos. Great buy Review by Wing2003 on 11302016 I got to the range with it. adjusted the sights. just great. This set up is just so simple, dependable and fun to shoot. Fed everything flawlessly. It just works. Yeah, the sights are kind of basic but hey. they work. If you want bells and whistles, go spend another 1300.00 But if you want an AK thats reliable, accurate and wont let you down, this is your AK. I mean, its insanely good for this or any other price. If youre looking for your first AK to get into the game, this is it. No regrets. Altamente recomendado. Pass the ammo AMD 65 is a fantastic rifle Review by billdozier on 10292016 I really cant believe that this rifle is priced so inexpensively relative to other AK builds. The quality is far beyond its price point. The finish is nice and even and everything is tight (for an ak). The FEG receiver is top of the line quality, all of the rivets were perfect and the bore is bright and shiny. If youre thinking about getting one of these, do it now before people discover this gem and they double in price. Plus the supply of these outstanding FEG receivers wont last forever Positive Review by Andrew on 10282016 The rifle shipped quickly and shipping was cheap. The rifle looks good and the quality is there but I have 3 minor issues. The first is the stock, it wobbles a bit which seems odd for AMD rifles. The second are the grips, they were scratched and rough on my hands so I put electrical tape on them. The last issue is the magazine wobble, all mags I have tried in the gun wobble, but none seem to malfunction so its not really a bad thing. Overall, Im extremely happy with it at 499 and I would buy another if I could afford it right now. Whats not to love Review by Tom on 10272016 Great gun. Anyone who is into ak variants should have one of these in their collection. I cant say enough about how much I like this gun. Lightweight, highly maneuverable, great trunk gun, and just plain fun to shoot. A lot of people dont like these beacause of the exposed gas tube and how hot it gets. But for me I dont really see the issue I wear a gloves when shooting anyway. Thanks classic. Great buy. Review by Joseph on 10232016 Thought Id better get an AK before the election. Classic firearms made the process seamless with easy purchasing and shipping process. Their packaging was first rate. The AMD 65 and accessories were exactly as advertised. The fit and finish is very nice. Make sure you clean any new gun before you fire it just like is always recommended. My 65 had a metal shard on the piston that could have caused trouble. The two grips dont match - one is used and the other is new - but the rest of the gun is great. The rear grip was loose and so easy to tighten. Took my new AK variant to my range and it runs on the cheapest Russian ammo that I can find without a single issue. Im very pleased with this purchase. Im impressed Review by Wing2003 on 1062016 Just got it yesterday. Stripped it down - examined and cleaned it. Very solid in and out. Workmanship looks very good. The finish. its there and I dont care ltggt Magazines are a little wobbly but feed and eject well. Will shoot it Saturday at which time I will most likely add the last star :) Very pleased with what I see. This kind of quality in an AK 47 at this price point. insane Id buy a crate if I could. Classic strikes again. EXCELLENT Oh, I bought the recoil buffer, a couple of steel mags and the add on stock. The add on stock is very adequate in case you want the wire arm for the cool but want the stock option. Couldnt be happier with this purchase.

Now, the finish in a supposedly new barrel was spotty at best, and the bolt carrier finish, once again spotty. Ill probably have to re-do these. Packaging also left a little to be desired, no box except for what it was shipped in and some paper thrown in to quottryquot to keep it in place, but it arrived unharmed. Now with those negatives out of the way, the sights are dead on, assemblyworkmanship seems good to very good. Nothing loose or pins coming out. Magazines fit great, steel or polymer, barely any wobble at all. The 20 round magazines classic also sells fit very snug and fed flawlessly. I purchased this to mostly have the FEG receiver, which was in good shape. I plan on getting a new 12.5quot chrome lined barrel and tacking the break to it to make it more quotoriginalquot. I planned on updating this anyway with aftermarket parts. As for the price I think it is the best deal for a hi cap AK variant out there at the moment. Great rifle, smooth action, twice the gun of my WASR 1063 Review by Mike B on 2112016 I sat on the sideline for over a year debating on buying this rifle. I purchased a WASR 1063 2 years ago and Ive had to do quite a few things to it to bring it up to par. This rifle was good to go right out of the box. Smooth action and straight front sights. I love the look and the feel of the rifle. Even my girlfriend noticed how much more smoother it was and the first thing she said was, quotI love these sites. much better than the WASR. So if youve been on the sideline hesitant, yes this rifle is worth the We love it. So glad we were able to get one. Thank you Classic Arms once again Very nice gun. Review by Wayne on 1222016 It looks like brand new and mostly is just that. Ive only had it a few days and cant wait to empty a few mags. If it shoots as good as it looks it will be a fine gun. Ill let you know how it shoots in a week or two. After cleanin, fired several hundred rounds with no issues Review by V. M on 1112016 Weapon was in great shape when unwrapped. after a good cleaning and a heavy coat of lube. fired several hundred rounds with out an issue. This weapon is light and after a short time, we were comfortable with the wire stock. In a confided space this is the weapon to have. We used metal mags they fit well with little wobble. The 20 round mags go in easy, 30s a little slower. Five starts for the weapon and Five starts for the staff. GREAT buy. Very nice clean rifle with issues Review by Joey P on 11252015 Rifle is very nice, and clean. looks unused. Unfortunately has a US made 16quot barrel (I knew this of course). Not sure why the 12.5quot barrel cant be put on with the welded muzzle break and extension but. Receiver does NOT match rest of the rifle (which all matches). Trigger pin and Hammer pin were loose. Still have to get in there to fix. I guess quality control isnt an issue when these get shipped out. Box it came in was very badly damaged. Not sure if thats an issue with Classic or not, but packing was nominal. Very nice rifle. Finish is very nice as well as the plastic. If it went for the pins mentioned, this would have got 5 stars. two pins loose. Cmon guys. My mind was blown Review by Austin on 9202015 When I opened this gun I was very surprised at the overall look The fit and finish was very nice. As well, I was a little worried that this firearm was going to be the usual parts kit quality, but Im 100 confident that this gun was never used before. It accepts all the magazines I have perfectly. Tapco smooth and standard side mags, croatian and yugo steel, promag and I. o. inc polymer, and the best so far are the korean 20 round steel mags I got from classic. They fit and shoot flawlessly. The gun shoots he great and surprised me on the accuracy. Definitely a must buy Good, but some problems Review by Miz on 932015 Overall, I really like my AMD-65. However, I had the following problems: First, and most importantly, after approximately 98 rounds, one of the trigger pins started to back out. This resulted in the safety lever not blocking the disconnector, and RESULTED IN THE WEAPON FIRING WITH SAFETY ON (with trigger pull). My safety selector is now quite bent. It did not result in the weapon doubling or firing without pulling the trigger. The root cause was a spring that is meant to sit in a groove in the trigger pinto keep it in place. There are apparently after market parts for this problem, and is somewhat common, given that this is a somewhat common AK problem in general, I raised my rating from 2 to 3 stars. After the first 100 rounds, my vertical foregrip is loose. Im sure this can be corrected easily. Other than the aforementioned issues, the gun runs flawlessly. I am able to insert 30 round (metal and poly) mags (korean, tapco, bulgarian) with no issues whatsoever. Im not a really experienced AK person, but the gas system may be over charged. The cases are thrown 20 feet outdoors. 5 stars to classic firearms for a great deal and fast shipping. Great rifle at a great price Review by Steve on 7222015 Very good rifle. I was surprised by the accuracy, even with the wire stock. Its very light and easy to hold steady even while rapidly firing. I had a few malfunctions but those were due to the surplus Croatian magazines I was using. Keep in mind that regular magazines will have a hard time fitting due to the foregrip being in the way. I knew this before I purchased the rifle so I cant complain. Drum magazines fit perfectly though. Light, Flat, and Fast Review by rwponline on 6142015 Great little AK, very flat (no wider than the receiver), very light (about 6.5 lbs), and very fast on target thanks to the vertical foregrip and massive flash hiderbrake. The side folding wire stock locks in both positions, and is quick to deploy or fold. The VFG does interfere with smooth mag changes when using 30 round mags (it was designed for 20 rnd mags), but if you dont mind doing some modifications it can be replaced, cut down, or moved forward.
