Sorry your AMT experience was not so good. I just recently talked to a buddy who bought a AMT about the same time I did back in the 70's.He is one of those gun friends who can only talk about guns. He used to shot his AMT alot as well,but he never installed a buffer and used to shot hardball thru it.He told me the slide had cracked on it! He mumbled about how he should have followed my advise. So maybe you made a good decision.
Over the years I have looked at lots of AMT Longslides like in the "Terminator" movie. Cool gun,but always thought it looked unbalanced.
That clip made me wistful for the good old days. I used to patronize B & B Sales( a huge gun store) in the San Fernando Valley in So Cal. Its now closed.I remember when they had a sale on Semi-Auto rifles. H & K ,CETME,Valmet,AR-15,FN FAL,SIG, Poly Tech AK all on sale for $500.00.Those where the days!
