It looks like a desert version of the green digital they wear. Any idea what the letters on the patch stand for?

I hear this camo for Afghan Nation Police only and woodland digital camo for Afghan Nation Army=ANA. 
I think ANCOP=Afghan Nation COP?

Having shot various makes and models of the AK series of weapons, I must say the Hungarian AK's are the best manufactured. However, I was never a big fan of the AMD-65. I just don't like the stock.

I've always enjoyed the Romanian AKs, myself (except for those funky front grips) The Hungarian AK-variants are also extremely well-manufactured. However -- the AMD-65 is, as Arch said, somewhat odd. I too found the stock to be kind of "wonky"; it felt cumbersome and sort-of in the way. Didn't affect its performance, though.nkomo wrote: Having shot various makes and models of the AK series of weapons, I must say the Hungarian AK's are the best manufactured.

You mean you didn't give them all to the Iraqi Police that trained in Hungary many years ago?
