    Question Valmet M-78

    Can you bring this the ak varient of the Valmet Hunter?
    Would purchase one if you could bring a boat load.
    Hopefuly in 7.62x39mm and the 7.62x51 version.


    I just neutered the cat.
    Now he's a liberal.

    I'd rather be a Conservative Nut Job, then a liberal with no nuts and no job.

    No longer manufactured, and the name is changed also, so not likely.

    Seriously, I have owned a couple of them. Even if they were priced the same as other 308 semis(m305 with some work), they are not better rifles. Same goes for the 7.62x39. The 858 is a better rifle for what you'll want it for. And 223, Classic Green hammers the m78.

    The long heavy barrel, and weak scope mount on the 78 always made them safe queens when I had them.

    Maybe, but an unrestricted ''AK'' is always a smile in the face...

    Just give the specs to Norinco and have them pump out a few thousand in .223, .308 and 7.62x39 for civilians in Canada.

    They are milled and a different design than the T56, so it would mean a complete retooling. Also, I doubt my good friends at the FRT lab would go for it.
