Watched the video on Forgotten Weapons not too long ago and its really cool seeing it in the field. This was definitely designed to be the cheapest AK possible and I think they did a good job at that while still keeping it usable. Not a good design when you need all the modern features and optics but hey it still shoots.
@@kiereluurs1243 I agree 100%. It is still a rifle round, albeit in a slightly smaller package compared to a full sized offering such as an AKM. It is a rather exotic firearm if I do say so myself, bred from the need of tankers and crewman who could not easily maneuver in tightly packed environment. I retain this statement even in the face of issues such as a bending stock and burnt fingertips.

Jmac makes a drop-in stock adapter specifically for the AMD-65, I had a welded cheek riser on mine as well but got sick of it chewing up my jawbone so I threw a Sig folding stock on and it's great, I wish I had the resources to send you boys a couple boxes of em
the amount of gas you see in the intro and the kick to my teeth from steel stock is what convinced me AKMS and 7.62*39 in general is not my type of thing
Some little correction: the rifle grenade shooting version called AMP-69, not AMD. As a hungarian, i was always curious your opinion about the AMD, thanks!
Glad to see you again, a very nice functioning setup of weapon. Nothing fancy just a war proven system that works. Unlike majority i think amd 65 is a good weapon. If they could improve few things in this system design, it would have been better. But cost cutting and mass production often ruin beautiful things. The ak 74 receiver and good stock with proper handguards and 12.5 inch barrel it pretty neat.
There's a surprising amount of parts support for these here in the US still, everyone from KNS to Jmac makes parts specifically for these, throwing a Sig folding stock on my AMD made it actually bearable to shoot lol
Yeah intresting idea but for vz. is still many available modifies so it isnt problem with modernization or with technícal problems i think. Only problem can be spare parts in future.
@@JusufBideovic At the cost of Western egos, which is a very fair exchange for saving Ukrainian lives. The territories which are gone, are gone. I doubt anyone has appetite for a further escalation, so although the bitter truth may be a hard pill to swallow for some people (and they are definitely only some) most people around the world see the current situation for what it is: A Russian Victory. And it is not a Pyrrhic victory either. The more peace is delayed, the more untenable it would become for Ukraine to grow and recover. Russia is a neighbour, and no matter how much some Ukrainians might dislike that it is in the economic and security interests of Ukrainian people to get along with all neighbours. The conflict began in 2014, not 2022, and the reason is very simple: Euromaidan. A corrupt, but democratically elected leader was overthrown and replaced by another corrupt leader who was less popular in the East. Rather than waiting for an election to just vote for whoever they wanted, some in Ukraine used force to achieve their ends and to impose their will over the others. Crimea, Donbass, and 2022 is the price the people had to pay because of those bad actors. It is high time the government moved on from confrontation and moved towards reconciliation, and maintaining good relations with both East and West to derive maximum economic benefit for its people from both. I know most of the viewers on this channel are Europeans and Americans who despise the current Russian regime (and so do I, considering how corrupt and nepotistic it is), but similar problems plague Ukraine, and regimes come and go but the nations stay.
I don't know what kind of tools you have lying around, but you could weld a slim plate with some screw holes in it instead of a top bar for the stock, so you could fix a block of wood that should be fairly easy to carve into a real cheek rest. Would be extremely fast to do with a proper guillotine and drill press but an angle grinder and a drill would work as well. Oh and pallet wood is very easy to carve using a fibre backed grinding disk for metal, it just fills your lungs with dust
Do you have any info on how these rifles entered the theater? As far as I know, the Hungarian State didn't provide any military aid or assistance so far to Ukraine. Could you elaborate?
@@soumenduroy3770 You are sitting on the horse backwards, man. He loves us, Hungarians more than the Ukrainian people. That doesn't mean he hates you. You treat Hungarian minority like 💩. You make your life easier if you treat our "tribe" well. That's it. Any questions?
Having used them myself, I can say they are pretty terrible. The American M67 is much better in terms of size, shrapnel dispersion, and lethality. There is a Russian TH-cam channel that appears to be sponsored by their army that did a comparison of Soviet, Australian, and American grenades. I believe their channel name translates to Ballistic Mayhem. The Australian TBAS plate carrier system, SCE19 webbing and all the pouches are far superior to what is issued by almost any other military though, so that makes up for it a bit.
