The original Valmet AK-derived rifle was the milled receiver Model 62 which was offered in 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm NATO for export. The model M62 (known as '''Rk 62''' in Finland) was adopted by the Finnish Defence Forces, and still serves as the standard infantry weapon of the Finnish Army.
 
The M62 has an unusual T-shaped tubular buttstock, compared to other Kalashinkov pattern rifles. The gas block and front sight design is very similar to the Israeli [[Galil]] rifle, as the Galil was designed based on the Valmet.

Valmet later merged into Sako (in the late 1980s), and the some of their designs are currently being manufactured.

Valmet M62 (Rk 62) (modernized) with plastic handguard and tubular stock - 7.62x39mm. This version is the most commonly available/used version of the rifle.

The original Valmet AK-derived rifle was the milled receiver Model 62 which was offered in 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm NATO for export. The model M62 (known as Rk 62 in Finland) was adopted by the Finnish Defence Forces, and still serves as the standard infantry weapon of the Finnish Army.

The M62 has an unusual T-shaped tubular buttstock, compared to other Kalashinkov pattern rifles. The gas block and front sight design is very similar to the Israeli Galil rifle, as the Galil was designed based on the Valmet.
