Has anyone here built or has had an AMD-65 built on a parts kit that looked in kind of rough shape. The only reason that I ask because I am going to be having one built on a Global 1mm receiver by AK-USA and my kit is in kind of rough condition. Most of the finish is worn off of the gun and a couple of the parts needed replacing like the receiver cover due to some dents and a crack. The only reason that I decided to keep the kit is because the bore of the barrel appears to be in good shape. I cleaned it up and the bore is nice and shinny and appears to have some wear but not to bad. I just want to know how yours gun came out, if you had a kit in this kind of condition. Thanks. |
| It has been my experience that most surplus military arms have far more external wear than internal. In most militaries a soldier carries his issued rifle all over hells half-acre during training but only fires the rifle a few times a year. This will cause a rifle that has actually been fired very little to appear to be beat to hell. |
| I'VE BUILT 3 AMD-65 KITS, 2 FOR ME AND 1 FOR A HIGHWAY PATROL FRIEND HIS COST HIM OVER $100 FOR KIT AND WAS ALL MISSMATCHED NUMBERS,STILL MADE NICE SHOOTERS. MINE COST ABOUT $60 FROM TAPCO AND BOTH LOOKED NEW ALL SHOOT LIKE A HOUSE ON FIRE. THAT 1.6 MM RECIEVER FOR THE FIRST 2 REQUIRED MILLING TUNIONS TO FIT WHICH WASN'T FUN. I ALSO HAD TO REMOVE SAFTY STOP PORTION UNDER MAG LOCK AS THICKER RECIEVER WOULD'NT LET MAG COM UP AT REAR AND CAUSED 3 POINT JAMS ON HIS GUN. MINE FUCTIONED FINE BUT I MODIFIED MY SAFETY STOP JUST TO BE SAFE. GREAT GUNS LOTS OF FUN. |
