534:(PM md. 65). This was to replace the AKS in Romanian service and featured a folding stock; it resembled a modified AKMS with an older AKS-pattern stock. PM md. 65s produced for export were designated AIMS md. 65. The PM md. 65 was initially produced with traditional AKM pattern handguards due to the difficulty encountered in adding the PM md. 63's foregrip to the folding stock design; the stock was designed to fold flat against the base of the handguard. Adding a foregrip which pointed drastically rearwards was problematic because this would impede changing the magazine. Romanian engineers subsequently designed a shorter foregrip for the PM md. 65 with a slight rearward cant, allowing the folding stock to lock undearneath the handguard while also allowing enough space for a magazine to be removed or inserted.

serial numbers with a Latin letter prefix etched on the crossguard and scabbard face. They were also fitted with wrist straps of brown leather with three-slot buckles for attachment to the crossguard and a friction buckle for attachment to the hilt. The bayonet was suspended by a bayonet frog, rather than the more common hangar strap favored by some
Eastern European armies of the era, from a rifleman's equipment. The PM md. 63 was also issued with a unique Romanian leather sling, which was later replaced by nylon slings that more closely resembled the late Soviet pattern.

The PM md. 63 was initially indistinguishable from the Soviet AKM; however, during the mid 1960s a laminated wooden foregrip was added to the design. This was to allow Romanian riflemen to control the weapon's vertical muzzle climb during fully automatic fire. For the duration of its service life, the PM md. 63 and its derivatives were produced at the

The PM md. 65 initially required a separate production line from that of the PM md. 63, since the addition of a folding stock to the design necessitated a different receiver. In an attempt to streamline production, the Cugir Arms

Early production PM md. 63/65s were not fitted with the same slanted muzzle brake as the Soviet AKM, but a simple muzzle nut which more closely resembled that of the original AK-47. Later PM md. 63s and PM md. 90s were fitted with the slanted muzzle brake.
