Pistol is an AMD65 kit from Clearview.  Screw build.  Screw kit, templates, and instructions came from marshhawk.com.  Ewbanks receiver from Horns Custom Rifles.  Muzzle attachment is a cut down original AMD device.  Seemed to work OK.  The rail on the bottom of the front handguard was a piece of stock I had lying around which I screwed on.  The 1" scope mount attached serves as a place to mount a light or my left hand.  Refinished about 80% of the gun with AlumhaHyde II then rubbed it down a bit with oiled 0000 wool to get a better match.  Top cover and red dot are el-cheapos from CDNN.  Mount still wiggles a tad but with ball park windage and elevation adjustments, I could hit a 10" plate easily at 50 yds.  I preadjusted the red dot to coincide with the iron gights.  Magazine is a Promag which ran just fine--surprise surprise--3 US parts for my rifle build.  Range trip was short due to crummy weather, but got off about 200 rounds without a problem.  Couldn't get it to bump.

My first build.  No surprises, some easy custom fitting, and I learned a lot about drilling and tapping.  Ruined one hole but snot welded it and redrilled.  Came out fine.

Thanks for all the great info.  There wasn't a problem that someone didn't have the solution for.

Very nicely done; I'm considering doing one of my AMD kits into a pistol.

Did you use the original AMD trigger? Maybe swap it out for a chinese double hook, will help with the bumping....
