This is the rare long barreled version of the very popular and highly reliable Finnish AK series of rifles that has been converted into a Fully Automatic Class III/NFA rifle by Fleming Firearms.

It has a 22 inch barrel with fully adjustable rear sight graduated from "1-5" (100-500) meters, a post front sight and a heavy military three prong flash hider with a bayonet lug on the underside. It is fitted with a factory folding bipod and carrying handle. It has a short walnut forend, synthetic pistol grip, and heavy RPK style walnut buttstock with a plastic Valmet marked buttplate. Magazine absent.

Excellent, retains 98% plus of the original matte grey finish with some scattered light handling marks. The wood is also excellent with only the slightest handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
