The rk95 was intended to be a modernization of the Finnish AK platform, but it fell victim to military funding cuts as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Only a small number were procured by the Finnish Defense Forces, and Sako only made about 2500 of the semiautomatic model for civilian and reservist use.<\/p>\n<p>The M92 uses a brand new milled receiver design and includes a reinforced dust cover with rear aperture sight, a gas cutoff for rifle grenades (albeit never used), and mounting points for an optics siderail. The military rk95s all had side-folding stocks, but the civilian model got a fixed stock as the folder would have made it much harder to register and own in Finland at the time.<\/p>\n<p>These rifles, along with all the other Valmet factory semiauto rifles, just recently became importable thanks to the efforts of Postrock, of Garden City Kansas. <\/p>\n<p>Military rk95 video:    \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s5bFJ2bIiJg\" target=\"_blank\">RK95: Finland&#8217;s Ultimate AK<\/a>  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten Weapons Published 5 Jun 2026 The M92S is the semiautomatic civilian version of the Finnish military rk95 rifle.
