I've always have seen that firearm advertised as an AIMS.....i dont think there is a Romanian gun called aMD63....

There must be an MD63. This can't be a coincidence... take a look at these three.

The Model '63 (MD63) is simply another name for the AIM, which was adopted in 1963. The correct term for your gun would be either AIMS, or MD63 Underfolder.

The Model '63 (MD63)

Coincidently, this topic was brought up on the other forum. I think the correct term for your underfolder is "MD65." The "MD63" was the full-buttstock version.

Yep... I think you are correct. I was told the same thing by others recently. MD65. But I am not so sure that MD stands for the word "Model". The translation to Romanian is "modell" so why not M65? I think MD is short for two words. The M may mean model.

Different countries, different ways of doing their nomenclatures probably.
