I posted something similar in another thread but I decided to post it here as well. I am planning on buying an Arsenal of this type:

I have been entertaining the idea of converting this rifle into a Valmet clone. Or a Sako M92s clone. I would just like to know if it is even possible? The M62/76 conversion would look simpler, the dustcover with sight will fit an arsenal if you take off 0.5mm of the front. I have dustcovers and other parts I can buy here in Finland.
Even if the combined gasblock combo from a valmet would not fit I could atleast achieve a really good lookalike effect with a bulgarian one, which I believe ought to fit. As you can see valmet parts can be found inside Finland:
Gasblock for M62:

Still maybe I am only wasting my time with this? Is a valmet conversion even possible? What gives me the biggest headache is the rear sight block on the arsenal, it would have to be replaced with whatever the valmets use instead.
