Description:Introduced in Finland in 1978 and discontinued in 1986 after only roughly 2,000 being manufactured. They were initially intended to replace the folding weapons that were being carried by Finnish paratroopers. However, after minimal numbers being issued to troops, an issue with the rear sight hitting paratroopers in the face upon landing led to the carbine being discontinued after a short production run for U.S. import. Standard markings and features with no visible import marks. Includes two magazines, both need adjustment to latch correctly.
Rating Definition:Very good, retaining 98% plus original finish, some scratching and light surface oxidation at the muzzle/front sight, and some handling evidence. The stock is also very good with handling marks and missing finish at the rear sling mount. Mechanically excellent.
