That suppressor is made by BT Tuote right here in Joensuu where i live. The weapon belongs to the person shooting it, Marko Ruotsalainen. He is my boss and a good friend.

In finland supressors are sold with as many restrictions as candy, the autorities actually prefer people using silencers there.
PS: Tuuka buy one of those supressors, cut it in 2 and send it here as steel tubing, ill give you 1000$ US. [beer] |

Some elitists in the US, who don't think we are sophisticated enough, like to use European policy as a model. If indeed they are fairly easy to obtain in Finland, this is one policy I'd like to mirror.
Suppressors are truely valueable as both a safety and courtesy device. The image of them as something only an assasin needs is complete garbage. My little Finnish friend here needs one! Perhaps old Marko makes one for it: [IMG]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=192182&a=1409106&p=48016868&Sequence=0&res=high[/IMG] If my sheriff would sign, I'd have a suppressor for my UZI model A carbine in a heartbeat. |

I'm lucky, I have both...
[IMG]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=192182&a=1409106&p=48016864&Sequence=0&res=high[/IMG] The Valmet has better sights and is several pounds lighter. That makes it the winner in my book. Although, the Galil is built to quality standards that would make most current US manufacturers put bags over their heads. |

Well, Marko doesn´t work for BR Tuote although we do business with them daily, he as been involved with them so that is why he appears in many of BR Tuote´s pictures. Here is the link for the company, check out how many pics you can spot with him in them. Choose the weapon category from there.

the rifles look identical, why the large difference in weight?

The Galil has a milled steel receiver and a bipod up front. The folding stock looks to be made with more metal than the Valmet too.

Driftpunch, what is the going price for a valmet like that? I found one exactly like your picture and the price on it is $1650 what do you think?
