bubba got a Valmet

[5HoursNorth]

Over the past six months I’ve pieced together this contraption of a Valmet hunter
Sacrilege? or acceptable?
The wood was beyond repair on the forend and the butt stock
The only thing left to do now is a cut and thread on the barrel and cerakote job

Hopefully that rail on the dust cover holds zero.

Well, it comes from the factory with a scope rail on it. I just removed the proprietary mount and welded on a Picatinny rail.

Cut the barrel to 18.6" and thread it.

Better delete this before a libtard sees it .

If it's reversible, it ain't bubba. Do whatever makes you like it better.

 

[deadman]

Sounds like a good candidate for a Galil clone.

Once the barrel is chopped and threaded and the appropriate loudner is installed, it will pass the vibe check.

Can I get the details on all of the furniture, please?

 

[lbron11]

Man Id love to get the build details... Id be interested in peicing one together myself

It has a
-Valmet ak 2.0 handguard
- ak 2.0 ar15 stock adapter
I wanted to use a 1913 stock though so I found
-stormwerkz ak stock adapter that had to be modified
-Midwest industries Alpha stock
-magpul K2 AK grip
-homemade trigger guard
-factory cut and welded trigger group
-promag galil mags

I like it

 

[Repper]

This is awesome! Nice job, I’ve always wanted a Valmet. What muzzle device are you thinking to go with?

What is the operating life of these rifles? I'd consider one if I could keep it alive and I wasn't spending thousands on something shot to ####.

I know the T81 starts cracking after 10k rounds.

I’d be the wrong guy to ask as I’m a new owner but these for the most part are milled guns so receiver failed would be much lower , the biggest weakness to hunters are the firing pins , I’m hoping to get a few backups myself

I would have gone with a Galil stock, or an AKFX if I couldn't find a Galil one, but aside from that, nice job

 

[BasementBoi]

what sort of accuracy have you gotten with it?

Is the barrel chrome lined?
