AK-47.net: Hungarian AMD-65
 
The AMD-65 is a short barreled version of the AKM manufactured by Hungary.  The rifle has a 12.6 inch barrel with a large muzzle break designed to reduce muzzle climb and recoil.  The rifle has a steel wire folding stock which reduces weight and makes the gun easier to maneuver in close quarters.  The plastic fore grip is designed to aid the shooter during full auto fire by controlling muzzle rise.  The AMD-65 accepts all standard 7.62x39 magazines and drums, including synthetic versions.  The AMD-65 also features a shorter gas tube which allows the action to cycle properly due to the shorter barrel length.  The shorter gas tube can also be seen on a U.S. version of the rifle the Hungarian SA-85M, which is a AKM clone.

The AMD-65 was first introduced as a short barreled weapon designed for use by tank crews.  Since then it has been employed by Special Forces and Police around the world.  The AMD-65 is widely popular with special forces groups for its reliability and its compact design.  Very few AMD-65's were imported in to the U.S., most of which cost over $8000.00.  However, numerous clones have been constructed including full auto versions.  

How to construct a clone?

The AMD-65 is not widely available to the general public in the U.S., unless you have $9000.00 to spend.  If you desire a rifle that looks similar to the AMD-65 we would suggest that you purchase a used pre-ban AK in the $700.00-$1000.00 price range.  You will then need to purchase a AMD-65 parts kit and have it installed on the pre-ban receiver.  Please note that you will have to register the gun as a Short Barreled Rifle if your barrel is less then 16 inches in length.  Should you choose to install the kit on a post-ban receiver you will need to purchase a U.S. parts kit and have the folding stock and muzzle permanently attached. Your gunsmith should advise you on the legalities of the rifle before you build it.  Good sources for AMD-65 rifles are: Gordon Technologies, Tennesseeguns
and parts kits from Global Trades.

Pros: Everything about this gun is awesome!  
Cons: Short range weapon and very loud due to the muzzle brake.  
Summery: This is a great gun if you can get your hands on one. The full auto versions run $9000.00.  New AMD-65's are being produced by U.S. manufacturers.                                            Submit Review
