Shhh, you are giving away secrets.....

Yes, the AMD was a struggle to use for me, and I didn't want to resort to the cheekpieces out there. It is neat as all get out, but you have to be able to use it in positions other than holding it over your head African rebel style!

Plus it has the dreaded "mag wobble" if I used it with steel magazines. No prob with synthetic mags, but part of the charm of running an AK is the availability of inexpensive magazines, unlike my M1A which oddly enough is still less expensive to get mags for then my Saiga .308, go figure!
