My first AK.  At first I thought I'd sell this amd, and keep my WASR and Saiga conversion project.  Considering how evil and cool it looks with the muzzle brake and handguard furniture installed, I'm having 2nd thoughts and want to keep it!

You want the steel and wood standard look?  WASR every day of the week and twice on Sundays.  Compact, wire stock, and alternative/evil look?  AMD-65 is NIIIIIICE!!!!

I have 5 AKs. One is an AMD-65.  I like it okay.  I'd like it more if it didn't have the wire folding stock.  I find it uncomfortable to shoot b/c you can't get a proper cheek weld on the wire, and I'm 6'4" so it's kind of short for me..  That's the my main beef with it.
I don't mind it so much but you must know that the AMD muzzle break makes it really loud, hearing protection is a big must and you can actually feel the concussion from the muzzle when firing it.   It's like standing beside  the muzzle of an AK when your buddy is shooting.   If you don't mind that, it's a cool little rifle.  If you decide to get one, I'd try to find one with an orginal chrome lined barrel, not the Centruy build with the american made non-chrome barrel.

They are evil looking so I had to have one.

yeah I bought one of the TGI builds with the original barrel and I love it. Its loud as hell and is a flame thrower with wolf hp and fmj. Its accurate enough to blast cans out to 35yrds! I am a purist when it comes to AK's and this AMD is the closest thing to the original without being a SBR!

My favorite AK and as mentioned it doesn't give a cheek weld. Thought I would give it a try to see why they would build something that way.

My findings are I love it and am able to hit moving targets better than with any other firearm.

I picked up one of Elite Firearms last AMD65 builds a couple of years ago.I still haven't fired it.
It is the best built AK I have.
