Scarce Pre-Ban Finnish Valmet Model 78 RPK Style Rifle with Bipod

This is the rare long barreled version of the Finnish AK series of rifles manufactured between 1976 and 1986. These were a copy of the Russian RPK rifles except in 308 Win. The receiver is marked "VALMET/Made in Finland" on the left side and "Valmet Inc./Elmsford/New York", the importer, on the underside inside of the trigger guard. It has a fully adjustable rear sight and semi-hooded military front sight, three prong flash hider and spring loaded folding carrying handle. It is equipped with the original folding bipod, a 20 round magazine, wooden hand guard, checkered synthetic pistol grip and wooden buttstock with a plastic Valmet buttplate.

ConditionExcellent, 98% plus original parkerized finish with some scattered scratches and minor wear marks. The stock set is also excellent with some scattered minor dings and dents and a crack at the top of the buttplate. Mechanically fine.
