who really like the amd-65? i always hatd them but they kinda grew on me,
i have 2 fixed stock romanian ak's 1 sar-1 and the other one a wasr-10 and im looking for another ak, and i dont want to spend $500 on another wasr. I want to use it a a trunk gun and just a plinker so i decided the amd would be nice lighter and some say its more accurate. would use my wasr for a truck gun but i refinished it and my sar is in good shape. i read that they sound diffrent then a regular ak to

is the only diffrence between the amd-65 and amd-63 is the 63 has wood pistol grips and the 65 doesnt?

also can you change to handguard and stock to a regular ak handguard stock?

whats the going price on them?

I have one but didn't like the front grip because it does interfere with the clip a little bit if you use 30rd mags.

Changed out the front handgrip with a UMG grip from aim and put in a vertical handgrip.  Definitely grew on me and I LOVE my amd-65 even more now!

my favorite 7.62x39 clip fed.  

my TGI does 2.5" at 100 yards with barnaul.  100% reliable with OEM mags.  good weight.  points instinctively.  add a set of meprolite night sights, a 4 cell mag pouch and you have the perfect truck gun.

My AMD-65 is my favorite AK variant.  The differences between the 65 and 63 are as follows:  

AMD-65 has 12.6" barrel, muzzle brake, shortened gas piston, shortened gas tube, wire side folding stock.  The gas block and front sight block are so close they almost touch.

AMD-63 (aka AKM-63) has 16" barrel, muzzle nut, standard gas piston, standard gas tube, fixed stock.  Basically a standard AK except for the front handguard.

The wood versus poly grips is a matter of age.  Wood came first and were replaced by the poly.
