The "G" kits were evidently never built to be fully automatic.

The "G" kits were evidently never built to be fully automatic.

The "G" kits were made the same as any other AKM, they just had their 'sensitive parts' plucked before they were issued to the Guards, so they'd only go semi-auto.

Wikipedia has a lot of good info on the Romanian AKM variants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM_(rifle)

Right, they were never intended to be used fully-automatic. They were not mutilated and so in national emergency could be converted back to fully-auto with the replacement of a few parts. They were "built" the same as the AKM, and may have merely been taken from the line and converted at an armory. OR, they could have been built that way from the beginning, with the parts not installed in the first place. In any case, the G kits were not used or issued in fully-auto configuration.
