There were only three semi auto Valmet variants imported that saw any actual FDF service, and a few of you own the other official FDF rifle without realizing it.
RK 62 (M62/S) in 7.62x39 with the bicycle grip, fixed tube stock and cheesegrater forearm
RK 62 (M62/S) in 7.62x39 with the later style grip, fixed tube stock and cheesegrater forearm
RK 62 76 (M76) in 7.62x39 with later style grip, fixed tube stock and later style forearm, limited use, less than 50 M76's were imported and very few of these were fixed tube guns
RK 56 (bet you guys with Bakelite Chinese type 56's and NHM-91's never thought you had genuine FDF service rifles, lol, rather than adopt the RK 95, the FDF bought a bunch of chicom guns for their less-than-special forces)
Most early FDF guns were upgraded to the M76 style handguard over their service life.
There were several other FDF guns that never made it here.
RK 54 and RK 54 TP, milled 7.62x39 soviet AK's, either fixed stock or underfolder
RK 60, the rifle that preceded the RK 62, no trigger guard, several other different features
RK 62 (sako) in 7.62x39 with tube attached with a galil style receiver crosspin
RK 62 TP (sako) in 7.62x39 with a galil style folding mechanism that had a tube stock instead of a FN style stock, these style folders are found on some milled 308 Valmet imports, limited use
RK 62 krinkov style prototype variant, limited use
RK 71 in 7.62x39, tube stock, limited use
RK 71 TP in 7.62x39, underfolder, limited use
RK 90, 92, 95, last generation FDF rifles, never put into full production, limited use
