Product Description
Romanian Cugir Md. 63 AKM 7.62×39 — BFPU Build
Built from an original Romanian Cugir Md. 63 parts kit using a new U.S.-made receiver, 16-inch nitride barrel, and U.S.-made trigger components.
Each rifle includes a Romanian-style “dong” lower handguard and features a 14×1 LH threaded muzzle.
The receivers are hand cold-blued and individually distressed to complement the existing patina and wear of the original surplus parts kit. Because the condition and finish of each original kit varies, no two rifles will have exactly the same appearance.
Please note: The photos shown are examples of individual Romanian BFPU rifles. The specific rifle associated with each option can be viewed by selecting the available variation above.

Design Features
- The MD-63 closely follows the AKM design but includes a few distinct Romanian characteristics:
- Vertical wooden foregrip: Introduced in the late 60's. One of its most recognizable features, designed to improve weapon control during full-auto fire.
Early 60's rifles still feature the correct palm swell handguard as pictured. We can swap this out upon request, but it would not be correct for that rifle. - Stamped steel receiver: Like the Soviet AKM, making it lighter than the original milled AK-47.
- Chrome-lined barrel: Provides durability and resistance to corrosion.
- Vertical wooden foregrip: Introduced in the late 60's. One of its most recognizable features, designed to improve weapon control during full-auto fire.
Military Service and Global Use

- During the Cold War, Romania exported these rifles extensively, especially to Middle Eastern and African nations, as well as guerrilla and insurgent groups.
- Many MD-63s surfaced in conflicts such as the Iran-Iraq War, Lebanese Civil War, and various African and Middle Eastern conflicts.
