    I'd pass. It has a Hungarian receiver, but these are kind of low end kit builds with cheap low quality barrels, and the design is kind of wonky with that long barrel and AMD65 brake at the end. The reviews aren't all that complimentary either. http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=275460

    There's a reason they are down to $450.

    I have one of these with a wire stock and was hitting a 12x12 steel plate at 400 yds after a few shot calls. Pre-2008 production iirc

    The ones at Classic?
    I just posted those in the deals thread a week ago at $499.
    After reading the description it seems these are not the same as the AMD rifles that were being sold a decade ago. Always heard good things about them, but not sure about the current batch.
    I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

    Yes, the Classic ones are now $449, and you're both correct. Definitely not the same as the AMD65.

    Classic ones are parts kit builds with American receivers and barrels, not the KBI imported rifles from FEG.

    Aside from the poor rep of Classic these days, the AMDs have always been a design better left to armor troops jumping out of APCs - metal hand guards, less than desirable cheek weld, forward grip in the way of hi-cap mags... good that you passed.
