This video delves into the history and features of the Valmet M76, Finland's stamped receiver AK variant. It discusses the evolution from the milled receiver m/62 to the stamped m/71 and its eventual adoption as the m/62-76. The export version, the M76, is detailed, covering its various options including semi-auto and full-auto configurations, different buttstocks, and caliber availability in the US market. The video explains why the Finnish military eventually deemed stamped receivers less durable and harder to repair than milled ones, leading to the end of military production in 1982 and scaled-back export production.

This video compares the effectiveness of the Suomi m/31 SJR's 10-point compensator against earlier models. The compensator was added to new production and some modified earlier Suomi submachine guns in February 1943 to reduce muzzle rise. Despite its intention, designer Aimo Lahti reportedly disliked the modification, and complaints arose about snow packing and freezing in the compensator, causing muzzle obstructions. The video features a range test in Finland to determine if the brake actually improved controllability and also briefly covers a bonus shooting technique.

This video showcases an exceptional and rare opportunity to fire a full-auto Stemple-Suomi submachine gun at the 2021 Arizona PCC Championship. While the competition is typically for semi-automatic firearms, the host obtained special permission to run the true submachine gun.

The content highlights the unique experience and the surprising effectiveness of the historic firearm in a modern competition setting.
This video explores the M43 Salakari, a lightweight and dynamic assault mount developed for the Finnish Maxim machine gun. Facing the challenge of heavy and cumbersome standard mounts, Lieutenant Lauri Salakari designed this innovative solution in 1943. Although mass production was planned, it was limited by the end of the Continuation War, with only 312 units produced. These mounts significantly reduced the weight of the Maxim, allowing for more mobile operations, and remained in Finnish Defense Forces inventory until the 1980s. The video highlights the historical significance and practical advantages of this specialized firearm accessory.
This video explores the L-34 Sampo, a gas-operated light machine gun designed by Aimo Lahti in the early 1930s. Influenced by the Czech ZB-26, it was developed as a potential successor to Finland's problematic LS-26 LMG. Despite being lighter, simpler, and performing well in trials, bureaucratic issues and a shift in military requirements towards belt-fed, intermediate-caliber weapons prevented its adoption. Prototypes were produced in calibers like 7.62x54R and 7.92x57mm Mauser, with hopes for both domestic and international sales. The video highlights the L-34 as a "rejected masterpiece" due to missed opportunities.
