    I have an old red Tacoma with a camper shell. I went south aways. I would have stayed longer but the wind was strong and cold so most of my guns were left unfired.

    May I ask how much you have invested? I'm thinking about trying a kit. I would love to attend a build party.

    I'm not that sure how much I spent. I got the kit around 2006 when they were cheap. Kits then were cheap and they came with barrels. Now they're not so cheap and you have to fit a barrel which is a lot of precise work.

    I ultimately got most of the tools but I still have a bunch of kits waiting to be assembled. I would not do a screw build and rivets require tools. You also have compliance parts to buy and this required a gunsmith to blind pin the muzzle brake.

    If you want to get an AMD-65, get the one from Centerfire through a friendly FFL and it would be way cheaper.

    I fixed it up a bit. The wire stock is bit hard. I ended up with a chin weld which wasn't comfortable. I got an extension from AMD65 Tech. It raises it to a nice height and has some rubber over the metal. I decided to do my first paracord wrap on it and it worked pretty good for a first time. I also added a butt pad to get another inch in length. With the huge muzzle brake it has little recoil.
