This video delves into the Valmet M82, a unique bullpup variant of the Valmet M76 rifle. Originally conceived for the Finnish military paratroopers, it featured wood stocks and chambered in 7.62x39mm. However, the concept didn't materialize for military adoption. The M82 found its way to the civilian market, primarily in the US, with commercial variants chambered in 5.56mm and sporting urethane stocks. Produced between 1982 and 1986, a total of approximately 2,000 units were manufactured before import restrictions on 'assault weapons.' Today, the M82 is recognized as one of the rarer and more unusual Valmet models.
