I got an AMD65 from Century. One thing I never got around to is a rear sling attachment for it. Did Century forget about them? Where can I get one? |

Hi, www.jgsales.com I was at the show in Phoenix today, and saw a number of AMD-65s there - some were Century and did not have the sling swivel, but all the TGIs did (and most were not as worn as the one I got back in June..) There is also a difference in the barrel setup - all have a new US receiver, but the ones that retain the Hungarian barrel use a welded-on barrel extension plus the welded-on original flash hider to make 16", while the ones that put on a new US barrel just weld the flash hider on because the barrel is longer. IMHO the original barrel is better because it's chrome-lined. |
| No all you need is a slot cut into your receiver if you don't already have one. Then you just shove it in and open up the two little metal flaps. I actually got the original sling loop w/ my kit but in the process of opening them back up on of the flaps snapped. So I had to weld mine in place. A friend had the same issue. The Hungarian ones seem more brittle than the Yugos. The East German one being a new part I wouldn't think you should have any troubles. |
