	In the early 1960s, the Romanian Army used mostly [[PPSh-41]], Oriţa submachine guns and imported [[AK-47]] rifles. With the development of the stamped Type 4 [[AKM]] receiver, and the [[Soviet Union]]'s call to each of the Warsaw Pact's nations to produce their own assault rifles chambered in 7.62mm, be they AK-47 pattern or not, the Romanian State Arsenal developed an AKM clone featuring a forward-pointing front handgrip molded into the lower handguard, called the Pistol Mitralieră model 1963 (literally 'machine pistol' model 1963). The underfolding stock version is designated the Pistol Mitralieră model 1965, and features a rear-pointing front handgrip, allowing the underfolding stock to be completely retracted.

			'''The PM md. 63''' (''Pistol Mitralieră model 1963'') is a Romanian 7.62×39mm assault rifle based on the Soviet [[AKM]]. It is best known for its distinctive wooden front grip integrated into the lower handguard (often called the “dong” grip on later production/export rifles), intended to improve control during automatic fire.

	</~~gallery>~~		In the early 1960s, the Romanian Army still fielded large numbers of older submachine guns (such as the [[PPSh-41]] and Oriţa) alongside imported [[AK-47]] rifles. As the [[Soviet Union]] encouraged Warsaw Pact members to develop domestic production of 7.62×39mm assault rifles, Romania developed its own AKM-pattern rifle family. The resulting Pistol Mitralieră model 1963 (PM md. 63) was an AKM derivative produced domestically and became Romania’s standard infantry rifle for the era.

			A major identifying feature on many PM md. 63 rifles is the added forward-pointing wooden front grip molded into the lower handguard, intended to help manage muzzle climb in full-auto fire. Romania also produced an underfolding-stock version designated Pistol Mitralieră model 1965 (PM md. 65). On the md. 65, the front grip is canted/repositioned so the underfolding stock can fully retract without interference.
