Entry level price/quality?

[jreifsch80]

The gas tube and hand guard are specific, shorter. Ultimak makes an AMD railed tube though. FEG is original Hungarian rec.



I guess I didn't look at the link specs. I'd want the 12.5" I'll have a look at it again.

the handgaurd on an amd65 is the same length as any other akm. its the gas tube and piston that are shorter.

here's my clone of an east german MPi-kms72s "spetzialwerke" I used an original barrel amd65 kit and simply replaced the handgaurd retainer with an akm one (couldn't find a german one at the time) also I shortened an akm gas tube and flared it with a hammer, torch and a ratchet extension

^ thanks, good to know about the hand guard. If I get another one I would probably change it out then.

After talking with Rachael Ray. It's been made my attention there are so many below $600 AK's on the market that scream top quality. it might be a shame to shop by price rather build / what a vendor is offering.

This one is so asking for doing a Form 1

Due diligence and some web time could net you a better price than Atlantic is offering.

unless you want a specific ak that isn't offered as a factory build its better to buy right now just take a look at what atlantic has for sale and you'll see what I mean
