It works well. With the original brake there was noticable muzzle flash even in broad daylight and that's gone now. With the stock vfg set up I get a good solid grip on the gun so maybe that's why, but I didn't really notice any more recoil/muzzle climb than before.

I'm a big fan of the AMD-65. This one has about 8,000 flawless rounds through it. I got it for Christmas in 2010. Silhouette targets out to 400 yards are easy. Mag dumps are fun too.

They seem to be the best "value" ak on the market. I was surprised how good of accuracy I could achieve without much of a cheek weld and the narrow sight radius.

What are some good options for replacement furniture for the front end? Lower hand guard and gas tube cover.

I wish I had some money right now.:(

Midwest industries make a nice lower hand guard/rail and they sell a combo gas tube cover that can be set up for multiple optics. Plus it co-witnesses the sights. I think they are running right around 120 bucks atm. There is always utg. Although not really on the quality end and heavy they make a quad rail setup, if you are trying to just replace the hand guards and cover the tube a bit it would work. I think they run around 70 bucks. Also the top rail will not co witness with your irons, just a thought. You can google "utg amd pro", that should pull up the cheaper rail.

My rifle in the previous pics is wearing the Midwest Industries Extended SS Handguard (MI-AK-SS-X) with standard top cover.

A standard lower handguard fits fine, I have one that looks like it would take just a bit sanding/filing on the front edge and it would drop right in. You can mod (shorten a bit and bell the end back out) a regular AK gas tube to use a standard upper handguard.

Honestly though the stock handguard/foregrip combo works a lot better than you would think from looking at it. At least for me...

I agree but he asked what options were out there, so I gave him one higher end and one lower end. I could have been mean and said use google lol.

You can easily make an AMD length upper HG by cutting a standard gas tube to fit and then heating/ pounding out the flutes.
