Small Arms And Sidearms

The RK 95 TP is a Finnish assault rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, developed between 1988 and 1990 by Sako as an upgraded version of the earlier RK 62. Using a gas-operated rotating bolt derived from Kalashnikov-pattern designs, it entered service with the Finnish Defence Forces in 1995, with production ending in 1998 after about 20,000 were built, and it remains in limited Finnish and export service.
