(known commercially as the M95) is a 7.62mm Finnish assault rifle
adopted by the Finnish Defence Forces in the 1990s in relatively small
numbers. The rifle was developed in the late 1980s in response to a
requirement to replace the 7.62mm Rk 62 service rifle. Between 1988-1990
the SAKO company developed the M90 prototype, which was a substantially
upgraded variant of the Rk 62. Changes to the original design included
the fire control and safety selector, whose lever was transferred to the
left side of the receiver housing, the cocking handle cut-out in the
bolt carrier assembly was covered with a strip of metal, the cocking
handle itself was placed at an upward angle (enhancing left-handed
reloading), the rear sight assembly was installed on a sliding tangent
with 150, 300 and 400 m range adjustments and the rifle was equipped
with a folding tubular stock with a latch modeled on the locking
solution employed in the SIG SG 540 rifle.
