In this episode we are talking about Finland’s RK62 and it’s variants. Known in America as the Valmetor Sako the Finnish RK military rifle is based off of the Soviet Kalashnikov AK-47/AKM rifle. To bring us the “Leaducation” on the Valmet Lefty and Brian bring in the expert, Nils Grevillius. Nils has been studying the Valmet for many years and gives us a detailed historical view into how the Valmet came to be, why it was designed the way it is, how it was used in combat and then we break it down part by part and compare it to the Soviet AK-47 and the Israeli Galil. To wrap things up we answer listener questions and give away some awesome prizes! Only 3 more episodes left for Season 3 of the Talking Lead AK Korner!
