Manufactured between 1971 and 1973. This is an excellent example of a rare pre-ban "fixed stock" Valmet rifle in the desirable .233 caliber as imported by Interarms. Valmet produced some of the best AK-style rifles in the world. It has the heavier stamped receiver and top cover with an adjustable white dot rear sight graduated to 500 meters and a semi-hooded front sight that is equipped with a flip-up night sight. It also has the three-prong flash hider with bayonet lug. The receiver has the caliber and importer markings on the right side and the Valmet logo on the left side. With a vented walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with sling swivel and serrated plastic buttplate and a canvas sling.

Excellent overall with 97% original black finish and some minor handling marks forward of the hand guard. Stock is very good with two filled screw holes, possibly from a sling mount. Mechanically excellent.
