THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I know that a real AMD-65 has something like a 12 inch barrel. How long is the barrel on this rifle: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/411545173/TG+International+FEG+AMD-65+7.62x39+AK+Variant

If it has something like a 14" bbl, that is fine, but a 4" long muzzle break seems ridiculous to me.

Yes it is 12" with a long barrel extension/compensator spot welded to the barrel. Cant' beat that price for a true Hungarian made AK.

The AMD-65 platform with the original barrel (and tacked extension) built on an FEG receiver, is an excellent weapon. I've had one for years and it is one of my favorite rifles. I only use the original Polish 20 round tanker magazines due to the forward pistol grip.

That really is a great deal.. I've seen them going for substantially more locally and online.

The 12 inch barrel and flash hider really isn't that big of a deal, looks great and throws a sweet fireball!

Fixed it. I think the only 20-round 'tanker' mags are Hungarian, designed to be used with the AMD65. It turns out that you can use 30-round mags with it - or I should say, at least I can on mine, and it has both original pistol grips.

Here's my FEG AMD65 I purchased in early 2010 and I've been very happy.

The weld on the brake has NOT broke yet, but the magazine opening is a little sloppy.

I've also cut a slot in the rear left side of the receiver and installed a proper sling swivel loop. It looks great and functions as it should.

Overall...it's an excellent rifle and glad I added it to my collection. Here's some pics before I cut the slot for the sling loop in the receiver.
