Only issue I had was the finish on the bolt carrier rubbed off pretty quickly and the top cover was out of spec just a tiny bit. The top cover issue didn't hurt functionality of the rifle, it just needed to be bent out a little since it got bent in transit to my FFL dealer. Five minutes of careful bending and reshaping and it was good to go. <br /><br />Keep in mind this was one rare example and other AMDs probably will never have that issue. <br /><br />You might ask the guys over at AK Operator's Union about that since they do more extensive testing than I do.<br /><br />12-Gauge Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044142158465519047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297068118998472298.post-38589075753029342732018-04-22T14:39:55.731-05:002018-04-22T14:39:55.731-05:00Hello!

I was read...Hello!<br /><br />How's your AMD holding up?<br /><br />I was reading last night that some people are having issues with carrier tails mushrooming to the point where it wedges itself into the channel on the top cover holder. I read that the problem is the Tapco trigger. It's a part that's harder than the metal of the carrier tail...it wouldn't be occurring if the original part wasn't swapped out for a US part (yeah, I know, it's an import compliance issue).<br /><br />Wondering if you've had any issues with the carrier tail.RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368326205701250122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297068118998472298.post-36810489760105948542017-11-16T23:52:35.708-06:002017-11-16T23:52:35.708-06:00It's holding up pretty good.

If you're in the market for a lower cost AK and don't mind doing a little tinkering or hand fitting of parts like handguards or buttstocks, the Hungarian AMD63 from Classic Firearms is a great buy. I know most other AK type rifles seem to be going up in price, but these seem to hover around 450 to 500 dollars.12-Gauge Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044142158465519047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297068118998472298.post-16620683178980620002017-10-27T17:54:05.983-05:002017-10-27T17:54:05.983-05:00How is it holding up?
