[white spaniard]

Hi has anyone herd of a Valmut AK? I have a renter that doesn't have rent this month and wants to bater has AK.

The rifle is actually a Valmet, a Finnish Kalashnikov, basically.

Some of the highest quality AK variants made.

Need a model # and caliber to tell you an approximate value.

I believe its standard AK 7,62 I will find model # tomorrow.

Just spoke with my renter about the velmet rifle he has severial model 76, and a velmet hunter. If I don't want the velmet rifles he also has Arsenal SA M7, or a converted Saiga he would also let go.

A Valmet 76 in 7.62x39mm is EXTREMELY rare, you're looking around $3K.

The vast majority of Model 76's were 5.56mm. The older milled model 62/S was 7.62x39mm only, and there was a less expensive model with the sights of an AKM, the M71. All M71's here in the USA are 5.56mm as well.

A fixed stock M76 in 5.56mm is running around $1.5K or so.

The Hunter (Petra) was offered in the 80's as a sporting rifle, AK action, but looks more like a SAIGA in the way it's layed out.

The Finnish Valmet and Sako made AK type rifles rank quite high in the category of AK type rifles.

If the weapon has been maintained and the bore is good, you can not go wrong with a Valmet or Sako made M62 or M76 rifle.

During my military service, with the three rifles ( RK 62 ) I was issued at various periods, I did not have one single malfunction with either live ammo or blanks. Neither did I witness any issues with my fellow soldiers.

I dream of a day when a good RK 95 tp clone is available here!

If you got an un-marked Galil receiver and spent $1.00 less than the $3K it would take to buy a 7.62x39 Valmet, you could probably have one built...
