So, a vendor has some AMD parts kits for sale for pretty cheap...

Was thinking of a couple of them to go with some of my B-West receivers that I've been sitting on.

Anyone want to reccomend what parts for compliance, or should I just SBR register them and not have to worry about parts count?  The idea of a barrel extension sounds kinda icky.

FAC sells a 65 length gas piston for $18 and an extra long muzzle brake for $28, both US parts.

I think you still have to have the 9 U.S. parts even if it is a SBR

Nope.

There's a link to an ATF letter that's incredibly clear on that issue.

AWB still applies (until September, thank God), but not 922(r).

I just don't know if it's worth SBR'ing these B-West receivers for what's supposed to be a quick-and-dirty beater rifle - anyone's opinions?

I personally dont think its worth building a SBR, all the hassle of getting the forms signed by your Police Dept and approved and paying the $200! tax and having your gun registered with the ATF, forgot to include you have to get approval before leaving your state with the weapon.  Just seems like to big of a hassle just to have a short barrel.

But see, then you can never have an authentic Krinkov, or other rifles like it (Colt's AR-15 Commando, etc.).

I dunno - who here has built an AMD-65, or owns one, and what  did they do to compensate for the short barrel?

Guy at work is builing a couple.  
Tapco sells a barrel extension that once welded in place makes the barrel legal length.  Somebody else (FAC) sells an extended muzzlebrake that does the same thing when pinned/welded in place.  It looks just like the original AMD-65 muzzle brake but longer.  Guy at work is doeng both versions, though he says the FAC extended brake is better looking.
