Is there anyone in the Dallas area that has an AMD they wouldn't mind letting me run a few rounds through?
I have been toying with the idea of getting one for some time now, but can't quite bring myself to commit without getting some trigger time.
If you think we can work something out, let me know.

Thanks for the help guys

FWIW, I had one for a while and got rid of it because of the wire stock.
YMMV

Did you have concerns about it?  Don't have an AMD65 myself, just a Draco SBR (which would be relatively similar to the AMD65, just no brake) and WASR10, both are good to go for me.  Kinda oranges to tangerines, but ya know

Howdy from a former Texan who hopes to escape the cold soon...

Had an AMD and there are two major downsides:
Wire stock (no cheek weld)
Muzzle brake is LOUD

Other than that, my particular sample was about a 3-6 MOA rifle and ran 100%.

Wire stock isn't a concern, yet.
I've shouldered them and played with one at the gun store, but never had a chance to fire one.
The muzzle blast isn't a huge concern of mine, really just the recoil with the stock, I'd like to see how it is.
I know of plenty of good reports on them, and like wise, plenty of bad reports on them, really just want some hands on with one before I commit to it.

If your buddy is standing next to you when you fire it, the backward blowing blast will blow his hat off.

It shoots just like any other AK I've ever shot.

If you discover that you dislike the wire stock, I would suggest adding a stock adapter or replacement stock from amd65tech

Recoil is very very low IMO. I have a pretty full schedule, but if you don't mind waiting it out, you can blast away on mine with as much ammo as you can feed it.

Well, I guess you could wrap a couple of your maxi-pads around the wire...

I love mine - It's compact and handy, and produces a most fearsome fireball...

If you don't kill them with the bullets, you can cook them with the fireballs!

Recoil is not much different from any other 7.62 AK.  Just louder and brighter....

Let me know what your schedule looks like and we will see if we can't figure something out

yeah.  I could.  the added benefit would be that if I was wounded in a beer can assault, I could use the pads for bleeding control.
or I could have zero cheek weld like the guy in the picture you attached as your argument and pray to mother russia for accuracy.

I found that the wire stock was not only uncomfortable during longer strings of fire, but left a lot to be desired in the cheekweld for accuracy department.
but hey, like I said, YMMV and obviously, IMHO

so I ditched uncomforable, inaccurate, and loud for something I found a little more desireable:
(they're my guns and pic)


here's more compact, more accurate, more enjoyable to shoot, etc

another example of a "wire stock" that is uncomfortable, just to show you I dont disciminate completely
