We need to find out if the gun had a factory pin in the hole but was semi-auto. I think ATF may be wrong in this instance as we have seen other import marked Valmet's as I recall as well as ones with the pin hole welded.

Tony what do you think?

Can you imagine if a European country did this?

Iran and now they are the good guys?

I would ask if they still have the original barrel.

Just to give you a bit of history on the 308 guns. The 308 RPK is an outstanding full auto! It cycles very slowly and is really controllable. I would think this gun was converted to use cheaper ammo. Can you post some pictures of the barrel maybe under the handguards as well. I think we should try t...

I have seen early Valmet 62's with 3rd pin holes and welded 3rd pin holes from the factory. These were very early guns. I don't remember if they were importer marked.

If the mags are 40 round .223 mags you would need an HK 33 mag spring. That is what they are patterned after.
