The '''AKM-63''' and '''AMD-65''' (''Automata Módosított Deszantfegyver''; loosely "Automatic Modified Paratrooper Weapon") are Hungarian variants of the AK-47, manufactured by [[FÉG]]. Hungary originally adopted a domestically manufactured milled receiver AK as the '''AK-55'''. In the early 60s, the Hungarian Army decided to modernize their rifles into the AKM-63. The AKM-63 featured a distinctive perforated sheet metal handguard, a stamped receiver, a foregrip, and was manufactured in either wood or polymer furniture. The AKM-63 was further modified into the AMD-65 in 1965, which was a compact version with a shorter barrel and side folding stock, intended for paratroopers and vehicle crews. The AMD-65 is the most famous variant of the Hungarian AKs.

In the late 1970s, the Hungarian government decided to improve and develop a new rifle for simplification, unification with their allies, and exportability. The confusingly-named '''AK-63''' was adopted in 1977 as the standard Hungarian infantry rifle. Two versions of the AK-63 were produced, the AK-63F with a fixed stock, and the AK-63D with an underfolding stock. The two weapons were adopted as the '''AMM''' and '''AMMS''' (spelt AMMSz in Hungarian) respectively. Another variant, the '''AK-63MF''', was a modernized version of the AK-63D with telescopic stock and Picatinny rail. A rare semi-auto only version of the AK-63F, known as the '''SA-85M''', was made for export to the lucrative US civilian market, which was affected by the 1989 ban.
The '''AK-63 F''', known in Hungarian service as the '''AMM''' (Hungarian: ''Automata Kalasnyikov Modernizált Magyarosított'', literally "Hungarianized AKM"), is a variant of the AKM-63 developed by Hungary in the late 1970s and adopted in 1977. Compared to the AKM-63, the differences are the handguard, which returned to a more conventional [[AK-47]]-styled handguard, like the original AK-55, and the AKM-styled slanted muzzle brake.
 
These changes made the AK-63 almost completely identical to the Soviet AKM, but they could still be distinguished by a few differences: the AK-63 rifles retains the distinctive straight pistol grip of the AKM-63, and the handguard of the AK-63 lacks the palm swells of the Soviet AKM.

The Hungarian AK-63 is almost completely identical to the Soviet AKM. The main differences between the two is that the AK-63 rifles retains the distinctive straight pistol grip of the AKM-63, and that the handguard of the AK-63 lacks the palm swells of the Soviet AKM. The wood also has has a bright, laminated blond finish like the AKM-63.

AMM stands for ''Automata Kalasnyikov Modernizált Magyarosított'', which literally means "Hungarianized AKM".
The '''AK-63 D''', known in Hungarian service as the '''AMMS''' (spelt AMMSz in Hungarian), is the underfolding stocked variant of the AK-63F.

The AKM-63 and its successor variants are Hungarian clones and derivatives of the Soviet AKM manufactured by FÉG. Hungary originally adopted a domestically manufactured milled receiver AK as the AK-55. In the early 60s, Hungary copied the Soviet AKM and applied several Hungary-specific modifications to the AKM, creating the AKM-63. Later Hungarian Kalashnikov rifles were themselves derived from the AKM-63, and maintained traits that can be traced back to it.

The most distinctive trait shared by almost all Hungarian AKs is their distinctively shaped grip.

The AK-63 F, known in Hungarian service as the AMM (Hungarian: Automata Kalasnyikov Modernizált Magyarosított, literally "Hungarianized AKM"), is a variant of the AKM-63 developed by Hungary in the late 1970s and adopted in 1977. Compared to the AKM-63, the differences are the handguard, which returned to a more conventional AK-47-styled handguard, like the original AK-55, and the AKM-styled slanted muzzle brake.

These changes made the AK-63 almost completely identical to the Soviet AKM, but they could still be distinguished by a few differences: the AK-63 rifles retains the distinctive straight pistol grip of the AKM-63, and the handguard of the AK-63 lacks the palm swells of the Soviet AKM. The wood also has has a bright, laminated blond finish like the AKM-63.

Variants of the AK-63 include the AK-63 D (see below), and the AK-63MF, a modernized version of the AK-63 D with telescopic stock and Picatinny rail. A rare semi-auto only version of the AK-63F, known as the SA-85M, was made for export to the lucrative US civilian market, which was affected by the 1989 ban.

FÉG NGM-81

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
FÉG NGM-81 with original PKM style flash hider - 5.56x45mm

The Hungarian FÉG NGM-81 was a domestic rifle based on the indigenous Hungarian AK, but built for export. For that reason, it was chambered in 5.56x45mm, though some 5.45x39mm variants exist. The Rifle was built between 1981-1990. The original rifles were only offered with a fixed butt and a wooden fore-end, made in the same Hungarian Blonde wood as the SA-85M export rifle. The folding stock version of this rifle was called the NGV-81.

Due to Cold War prohibitions against Combloc weapons within the U.S. (except those exempted by treaty), the vast majority of the export NGM-81 rifles went to Europe and Africa. Most versions omit the large PKM style flash hider, opting instead for the standard AK-47 style muzzle nut. The FÉG NGM rifle was noteworthy in that it kept the AK-47/Type 56 style of gas block system, with the gas relief holes in the gas tube, not the gas block (as is the case with the AKM and later style rifles). The Gas block itself and the front sight is the AKM style in shape and the rifle takes a Hungarian stamped metal 5.56mm magazine similar but not identical to the Wieger style AK magazine.
