History
In the early 70's it was decided by the Ministry of War to replace the larger and slower firing 7.62mm round with the smaller 5.56mm round. In order to solve this, the government gave the challenge to famed Talvistovan weapons designer Harri Huhtala to design a weapon that could fire the 5.56x45 TAL and weigh under 8 pounds, and cost less than 10,000 Kronig. The result was called the kivääri prototyyppi 1974, or rifle prototype 1974. it was not immediately accepted by the air force, but the Royal Army immediately took a liking to it, an adopted it in 1991.
The production contract was given to Kansalliset Aseistot, who has been producing it at a steady rate since 1975.
