Hungarian AMD65 are good.

ChiCom MAK90 are better. Best, smoothest Trigger on any military arsenal built AKM.

I have an AK74 built on an Interarms receiver. I really like the 5.45 cartridge. It has a fixed wood stock on it currently, but would like to find a reasonably priced side folder wire stock to put on it. I had a Tantal kit I put together along time ago. It had one of those side folder stocks, really liked it.

The side folding 100 series, AK74 stocks, are great. Tight lockup both open and closed and very ridged.

The add-on stocks designed to replace the fixed AK stock and kinda look like the 100 series side folding stocks are no more than...trinkets.

The next build in my que is a Bulgarian AK74 that originally was a plum fixed stock, but is being converted to a triangle folder & built up on a Childers receiver with a Green Mountain C/L barrel.

This kit was bought probably 10 or more years ago, but stashed till I retired. Now that Joe & the ho have stopped importation on Russian 5,45 x 39 ammo, the future of these rifles is not good for the average shooter.

Being the ammo whore that I am, I stocked up on this caliber very well back in the day when it was cheap.
