        We tried the M16A2 with the Ak5 trials and found it subpar for arctic conditions specifically. This one is short stroke gas piston but retains the fire selector and charging handle which IIRC were the big issues with the M16.

        the AR is perfect for finland and sweden in the sense that it is optimized for production by medium tro small sized precision manufacturers instead of being stamped sheet metal which requires much higher volumes to be profitable. There's a reason AR-15s cost $400 now and stamped rifles don't.

      Nah, putting the charging handle on the side instead of the back like an AR or a Suomi is. Literally just take an RK62, move the charging handle back, add a piece of sheet metal to seal the gun where the empty casings come out.

          Do you understand how it feels to get conscripted, and receive your RK?. An RK manufactured in 1969, a weapon carried by your grandfather and your father? Perhaps it was even the exact same RK. You go out to the range and you fire, and they all hit paper despite it being your first time firing a gun, and despite the wear and tear of the gun. Seeing the craftsmanship, the history, the tradition. Now imagine getting some generic, dogshit MCdonalds-tier plastic AR instead, because AR's look tacticool and we need to be NATO compliant, despite the fact no-one gives a shit about those rules. Oh what's that, where's the RK's? Yeah, we melted those pieces of history down, we can't have those baby killing salt rifles in the hands of civilians after all. Now go freeze in the trenches.

    It looks clean and professional, like a 5.56 XM7, feels Germanic. Maybe that is a folding stock for compactness, like the XM7. The mag is very smooth on the surface. With a suppressor and optics, you have a special forces style rifle. Overall, it is Völkisch.

      The 62s aren't going away anytime soon. Between the procurement rate of the new rifles and the army's habit of using gear until it's falling apart, odds are that reservists that trained with the 62s will continue to be issued them for excercises (or the real thing). Meanwhile new conscripts will gradually start to be trained with the ARs, and issued the same when they eventually arrive for their reserve excercises.

        Good. I really want to know how AR platform holds Finnish enviroment. Especially I am intrested how easy it is fieldstrip at -20c with frozen hands and how reliable it is sharp weather changes combined with slush and tree resin (pihka in Finnish). Just saying I want a tool which works not a tool which has been chosen because of international politics.

            >You think they haven't thought about these things
            They might have thought that but in case of RK they have field tested the tool with complete fricking morons since the 60s in Finnish terrain who might do with the rifle most curious things. I claim that this have not been done with AR platform but I don't mind if they start doing test with that
            >vietnam war
            Vietnam is not Finland and the requirements for the tool are different
            >special guys in the military aren't using RK
            Special guys choose whatever they want the requirements for "not so special" soldiers might be different.

            Personally when I was in service we tested American optics and results were not that good. They gathered moisture inside because of big changes in the weather and when weather froze they rendered useless because moisture inside froze and you could not see trough them. I think it is good thing to test them but I would not buy that brand for real wartime usage in our environment they probably would work just fine in Vietnam

              A military firearm needs to be simple enough for easy field stripping. IMO the tiny firing pin retainer is one of the biggest flaws of the AR.

              Rumours are that the firing pin retainer is actually a captive pin in the SAKO AR.

              Genuine improvement, if so. Frankly I don't understand why it's not a thing already

                You can use the tip of a bullet to easily pull the pin out of an AR-15 bolt carrier if you are having trouble doing it by hand. If you don't have any bullets on hand then why the frick do you need to service your rifle? If you have no ammo you can't use it anyways.

                You're not going to be changing the fricking firing pin in the field, moron. Where the frick are you going to get the replacement in the first place? You think regular units carry a lot of them with them?

                Regular AR owner here, once the gun is worn enough, it's possible to get enough gunk into the firing pin channel inside the bolt that you start getting light strikes. If you anticipate this, you can keep it working without taking it apart by applying copious amounts of gun oil and working the pin back and forth along its full length of travel - but it's effective only temporarily and you'll want to take it apart and clean it out eventually.

      It's not the caliber that's the problem, it's just that it is another generic AR-15 clone with nothing to differentiate itself from from any other AR clone. At least the HK416 somewhat tries to have it's own style.

        In theory, 5.45 seems better than 5.56
        Now it doesn't have as much (recent) development, so it's probably pretty shitty compared to modern 5.56 loads and bullets.

      What the frick were the Soviets thinking when they moved from 7.62 all the way past 5.56 to 5.45? Why didn't they replace 7.62 with a 6.18x39 cartridge or something?

        they couldn't make it 5.5something directly because it would look too much like a copy so they went as close as they could: 5.45(rounds up to 5.5). And we're just going to something around a 6.5 caliber anyways lololol. Expect to see a Russian made 6.75x54mm.

              6.8 SPC wasn't propellant limited, it was chamber limited.
              Both SPC and SPC II were submitted to SAAMI with incorrect chamber drawings so commercial ammo was loaded to lower pressure than originally intended to avoid the overpressure issues.
              With improved chamberings and 5R rifling of a specific twist ratio the original theoretical performance of 6.8 could be achieved. But it wasn't an off the shelf solution.

            >6.8SPC
            moronic take. 77gr 5.56 mogs everything and has more ftlbs of energy than heavier rounds like 7.62 Soviet at actual shooting people distances. Not to mention dramatically improved probability of hit at range.

        • 10 months ago
          Anonymous

          Yeah but I thought the whole complaint that caused the U.S. leaving 5.56 for 6.8 is some people wanted something that hit harder than 5.56 which felt too wimpy but also wasn't as bulky and didn't kick as hard as 7.62

          They looked at a cartridge that people already questioned was strong enough to do the job when your life is on the line and decided they needed something even wimpier than what the West had so not to confuse them
