Manufactured in Finland, imported by Odin Arms, and upgraded to full-auto by Fleming Firearms of Collinsville, Oklahoma, this is a fine heavy barreled specimen of Finland's home grown descendant of the world famous Kalashnikov family of firearms, specifically Finland's answer to the Soviet RPK light machine gun. Post front and sliding notch rear sights, with a three-prong flash hider and bayonet lug and a folding bipod installed on the heavy barrel, a spring loaded carry handle fixed to the right side of the receiver, a three-position safety/selector switch (safe/auto/semi configuration), and a scope rail on the left side carrying a Mauser Mark X Electro-Point 4x40 scope. The forearm is checkered and ventilated plastic. The pistol grip and handguard are a one piece skeleton "Dragunov" pattern with raised cheekpiece and a rubber buttpad. Minus the scope, this 78/83 is very close in configuration to a hero gun featured prominently in the 1985 Schwarzenegger action classic "Commando". Please note that the rifle as a whole is registered with the BATFE; it is not a "host gun" with a freely transferrable Fleming sear, and the lot will not be divided.

Very fine as professionally upgraded by Fleming, with 95% plus original matte finish, showing some light handling marks overall. The furniture shows a few light scuffs and dings, and the optics are clear. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
