The first version called the Rk 60 was produced in 1960 and was internally almost a copy of the AK-47. It featured a metallic buttstock, a plastic handguard and pistol grip. After testing by the military, it was slightly modified and adopted as the Rk 62. The Rk 62 is considered a very high quality AK-47 clone and this is apparent especially in its accuracy and it can in many cases acheive less than one MOA. The rifle uses a peep sight, which can be flipped over to reveal the tritium night sight.
Different version of the weapon include the Rk 76, which is a version with a stamped steel receiver that reduces the weight to 3.5 kg. The latest version is called Rk 95TP and it has a folding stock. It is currently used by the Finnish Army in small numbers.
