ARW/Valmet M82 Configuration Selective
Fire Bullpup Rifle, Class III/NFA Fully
Transferable Machine Gun - Serial no. 152132,
223/5.56 mm NATO cal., 16 inch round bbl., black
finish, synthetic stock. Originally manufactured
by Valmet and imported to the U.S. as a semi-automatic rifle (most likely an M71) this item was upgraded by ARW of Bessemer, Alabama, into a
selective fire rifle prior to the 1986 registration cutoff; while not documented, it is likely that the reconfiguration to M82 was done at the same
time. Manufactured c.1978-1986, the M82 was intended as a paratrooper weapon, in the belief that a fixed stock bullpup would give the space
savings of a folding stock weapon while being more rugged in combat, creating one of the most visually distinctive Kalashnikov variants in the
process. Post front and peep rear sights installed on left-offset bases, the rear base bearing the manufacturer and model markings, as well as being
renumbered to match the receiver. The pistol grip stock assembly encloses most of the weapon, with checkered panels on the forearm and pistol grip, right handed
cheekpiece, and a serrated buttplate. Internally, the main distinction from the standard Valmet is the trigger, which mounts to the underside of the barrel and is
connected to the sear via a metal transfer bar that runs under the receiver and to the left of the magazine through a channel shaped directly into the interior of the
stock. ARW’s address is engraved on the underside of the receiver, with the serial number engraved on the underside and stamped in a milled panel on the left side.
CONDITION: Very fine as reconfigured and upgraded to selective fire, with 95% of the matte black finish, showing minor wear and light scratches. The replacement stock is
fine, with a number of light scuffs and dings. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
Estimate: 9,500 - 16,000
