No, the rear trunnion is specific to the unique Valmet solid tube stock configuration. Also, the solid tube cannot be removed without damage to the rifle with subsequent loss of collector value.
But please tell your friend that I will trade him a perfect, wood stock Valmet M62 (7.62x39) so that he does not have to suffer being uncomfortable any more! :D |

Enzio, I appreciate the information. I will hit him up about the trade but I doubt we will go for it. Looks like we will have to just keep shooting it the way it is. The things we must go through in life.

Don't modify or trade that Valmet.
That is a Rare one. |

I wouldn't even shoot a 7.62x39 Valmet import. They are extremely rare, and highly valuable. The less rounds fired through it, the higher the value. Since the Bush ban of 1989, Valmets have not been imported into the US. Most were .223 chambered, with a few .222 Rem versions as well.
Get a beater AK if you must burn 7.62x39, clean the Valmet, protect it with long-term storage packing measures, and let it increase in value with time. Buggering one up with after-market parts hurts to even think about. |
