::Hmmmm, but No, one could ask do we include the [[RPK]] under the [[AK-47]] Page? Again, no. The Light Machine gun variant is different enough NOT to be lumped in with the assault rifle.

I've been browsing some pages with Valmet M71(s) and I keep seeing these so-called "Resin stock" variants (well, that's what 70s and 80s North American magazine adverts call them anyway) that have orange/faux wood colored handguard and stock. I've been browsing tons old North American gun magazines and rocked the google image search, yet I fail to find these "resin designs" in orange/faux wood color. Here are couple of examples: | |||

Does anybody know did Valmet manifacture these M71s in orange/faux wood or have some movie prop departments just colored them orange somehow? Like has anyone ever encountered one in real life? [[User:TrickShotFinn|TrickShotFinn]] ([[User talk:TrickShotFinn|talk]]) 12:00, 20 July 2018 (EDT) | |||

Nice job
Good work on the specifications table. I like using the different color, very slick. Again, nice job here and on the Barrett page. StanTheMan 17:41, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
