G&G Armament has release a poster advising that the RK-95 will be finally released in November 2010, over four years after it was first announced back in November 2006. Check the poster below (zoomable) for all the specs on the up and coming replica of the Finnish Army’s 7.62mm RK-95.

So what is the RK-95?

The Rk 95 Tp (known commercially as the M95) is a 7.62mm Finnish assault rifle adopted by the Finnish Defence Forces in the 1990s in relatively small numbers.

The Rk 95 Tp is a select-fire, gas-operated firearm using the Kalashnikov-pattern operating system with a long stroke gas piston rod coupled to the bolt carrier as in the AK rifle. The rotating bolt locks into battery via two locking lugs.

The rifle was developed in the late 1980s in response to a requirement to replace the 7.62mm Rk 62 service rifle. Between 1988–1990 the SAKO company developed the M90 prototype, which was a substantially upgraded variant of the Rk 62. Changes to the original design included the fire control and safety selector, whose lever was transferred to the left side of the receiver housing, the cocking handle cut-out in the bolt carrier assembly was covered with a strip of metal, the cocking handle itself was placed at an upward angle (enhancing left-handed reloading), the rear sight assembly was installed on a sliding tangent with 150, 300 and 400 m range adjustments and the rifle was equipped with a folding tubular stock with a latch modelled on the locking solution employed in the SIG SG 540 rifle. The M90 was also equipped with a multifunction muzzle device and manual gas valve, enabling the use of rifle grenades. After undergoing further testing and implementing several changes (among them, the selector mechanism was reverted to the familiar Rk 62 configuration) the rifle was introduced into service with the Finnish Army as the 7.62 Rk 95 Tp (Finnish:Rynnäkkökivääri 95 Taittoperä or "assault rifle 95 folding stock").
