This video features a detailed look at the Valmet M71, a commercial export rifle introduced in 1971. Notably, it was the first AK-style rifle available on the US and European commercial markets. The video highlights its availability in .223 and 7.62x39mm calibers, with the .223 being more popular due to the scarcity of 7.62x39mm at the time. The showcased M71 has been legally converted to full-auto under NFA regulations. The description delves into design choices, such as reverting to Soviet-style sights for an 'AK-like' appearance and maintaining a larger gas port size for cold-weather reliability, explaining why it recoils more than expected for its caliber.
