Valmet M62/S: The AK in Finland
This video delves into the history and features of the Valmet M62/S, a Finnish adaptation of the AK platform. Following post-war modernization needs, Finland explored various rifle designs before settling on the Kalashnikov. The M62/S, adopted as the Rk62, features distinct Finnish modifications, including significantly improved sights (windage adjustable front sight integrated with gas block, aperture rear sight) and unique furniture like the tubular stock and early corrugated pistol grip and "cheese grater" handguard. The video highlights its mechanically similar origins to the AK but emphasizes the Finnish design enhancements.
