They are very rare… it is a shame really. Wish sako would make them under the valmet name again

Canada was the first to ratify the Finn's request to join NATO, that would be a nice way to say thank you.

I really dont understand they not making more valmets. I`m certain theres a market there

u/dannysmackdown Jul 13 '26
Pretty good chance the government may just prohibit them again maybe? Plus it's such a small market that it's probably not worth it in the first place.

u/Content_Sky_2676 Jul 13 '26
Can't prohibit them without changing the firearms legislation because they're specifically named as non restricted.

I am pretty sure they can get the price down if there is a contract for like 10k of them.

Those would be converted from full auto. Sadly will never come into the country.

If you buy this, you don't lose money, you make money.
Cuz you always end up selling it for more than you bought it.

Not if this government randomly bans it the next day, as they love to do with zero warning.

u/EnvironmentBright697 Jul 13 '26
Will never happen with the Valmets because the government gave them to indigenous peoples for hunting

u/StevenMcStevensen al Jul 13 '26
I know that’s why they were originally spared in the 90s, but I somewhat doubt that it’s still the case nowadays.
It’s been 30 years, and those rifles have become stupidly valuable - how many of those things do you think are actually still being used for hunting by the bands? How much pushback would there actually be if those rifles have largely moved on to being range toys by people off the rez?

Youre thinking logically something the liberals dont do when it comes to firearms.

u/Vahuo89 Jul 13 '26
Same argument is made for the sks but with the recent shooting, anything can happen

u/HappyCan7250 Jul 15 '26
Fun fact I learned recently too, some of the treaties with some bands, also required the government to actually supply ammunition to the band as well. They no longer give physical ammunition anymore, but some bands actually still receive a cash payment annually from the gocenrment specifically for ammunition purchasing. Just bizarre.

That theory seems pretty common among people on there who list savage axis/diamondback combos for $1500+.
