I had this posted in the build section––but it belongs here to.
I had This beat up AMD pistol that was my first build that was pretty ugly, ugly rivets, dents and marks from the vice, bends from not properly supporting it while pressing in pins, etc. So I was able to drill out the rivets and pulled the front out of it to use in another receiver. I put it in an NDS3 receiver, silver soldered on an extended 4pc flash hided from cnc warrior ( very quality piece) and put a standard rear trunnion with the tang cut off for the ace adapter with the ace ultralight stock with two inches lopped off. Was toying around with a tapco saiga forend and found out that if you took one of the pins out of the gas block and put in an extended one that you can make it fit on an amd with the hg retainer still in place if you cut the sling loop off of it. Its actually very rock solid. I know its tapco junk but I like the feel of the grips and I like the full length hanguard. I might bend a little heat shield for the inside later on. And I was unsure about the magpul afg when I tried it for my saiga twelve but it feels alot better on this shorter rifle. I plan on just adding a light but thats about as ninja as I'm going to get. Maybe an ultimak and a micro red dot, if they will work with the hanguard. I also put a RSA adjustable trigger group and set it for a very short throw. I just got done putting it together last night because its been sitting for three weeks trying to let the alumahyde set up. It did and thats the secret to that stuff––let it sit and dont mess with it. http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/impalafunk/amd/100_0603.jpg http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/impalafunk/amd/100_0604.jpg http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/impalafunk/amd/100_0605.jpg http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/impalafunk/amd/100_0607.jpg http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/impalafunk/amd/100_0606.jpg http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/impalafunk/amd/100_0602-Copy.jpg |
| Beautiful job on that AMD. When you applied the Alumahyde, did you have to heat the metal to cure it out? I have a stock AMD that I'd like to refinish, but since I can't remove the rear folding stock, I'm kinda at a loss as to how to go about it with a quality finish. |
