There's a few options, but probably the most common/cheapest is the Tapco Galil HG. It counts as a US part, and is only $20ish bucks. It is open at the top so it fits over the gas tube without modification. It takes some fitting/dremeling to get it to fit on the lower HG but it doesn't take long.
This thread talks about the same thing, and has a picture of an AMD with said HG. I did the same to my own AMD and am very happy with the looks. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_4_77/143831_Tapco_Galil_Handguad_on_AMD.html |

Here is a link to a thread on this. Looks like most people just buy a normal gas tube with a retainer, cut it to size and flare it by heating it up with a torch and pounding a ratchet socket into the end.

Here's a pic of the one I put on. Easy to install and very comfortable.

Any standard AK lower handguard that you like will fit on the AMD-65. The only mod you will need to do is to relieve the handguard in the area where the small pins are in the handguard retainer. I have been eyeing the Mission First Tactical Tekko handguard. You can buy just the lower or the upper and lower. The upper would work with the AMD-65 because it doesn't actually install on it but mates to the lower handguard. The cover on the lower can be removed to expose a picatinny rail.

I cut a Romy tube down heated it and re flared it. So I could use some really nice wood on an AMD 65. Going for the Kyber look. Will try to load a pic

I got them off GB a few years back and refinished them and can't remember that far back but for some reason I'm thinking so.
