Valmet M76: Finland's Stamped Receiver AK
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.
