Description:

Manufactured in Finland and imported as semi-automatic rifle, later converted to fully automatic by Hard Times Armory of Smyrna, Georgia, this is a fine specimen of Finland's home grown descendant of the world famous Kalashnikov family of firearms. Post front and sliding notch rear sights, with a flip-up high visibility front dot, three-prong flash hider and bayonet lug, checkered forearm and pistol grip, and a hardwood buttstock. The receiver has been modified to restore the original bottom position on the selector switch for semi-automatic fire and the mid position for full-automatic, with the "third pin" added to support the auto sear and the Hard Times address added with electric pencil to the underside of the receiver, near the import mark. A matching number is present on the rear sight base, with the other components are unnumbered. Provenance: The Al Walker Collection

Rating Definition:

Excellent as upgraded to full auto, with 97% plus matte gray phosphate finish, showing light scratches and handling marks on both the metal and the furniture. 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.
