naturally, the Finnish army have not used neither the NATO 5.56x45 nor the Soviet 5.45x39 calibers.

And No, we didn't train with M-39's I was conscripted during this millenium :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
My dad used to have old military rifles M-28s or M-39s as drill rifle when he was in the army in the mid seventies.

Yeah, that sounds about right, M-39s were common in the 70's, being manufactured up until about 1971ish. If you remember I am working on collecting a M-27 or M-28/M-28/30, or even an M-39 Mosin Nagant. Your countrymen did wonders with a good Russian rifle design and made them better!

Shouldn't be too hard to do a Galil/R4 off this now

also can somebody (Colo) post the M16 partsheet? I'm afraid I lost it when my computer crashed and I didn't back it up anywhere.

edit: an oldish drawing updated now that someone did a proper AK magazine:

continuing with the finnish smallarms:

KP/44 was the Finnish version of the Soviet PPs43 submachine gun that entered the finnish front around 1943. After capturing the weapon, our army imediately got intressed of its massproduction design and decided to copy it into 9,00mm Parabellum round and fit into production. After some byrocratic quarrels the weapons entered into limited scale production around the Soviet 1944 summer offensive, but not many were build before the truce and peace. Since the weapon manufacturing weren't allowed to continue by the Allied command, only around 10,000 examples were ever made.
Peculiarly, as the company (Tikkakoski) ordered to product the weapon was german owned, and once after the truce all german property in finland became Soviet property, one of the german engineers who then fled to Franco's spain took the blue-prints of this weapon with him and the weapon was later manufactured in Spain under the name DUX for some time.

Nice gun, especially shadingwise, but one template error-you're supposed to specify the bullet the gun is chambered in between its name and artists credited.
