Default Tikka/Tikkakoski

"Tikka" in finnish means the woodpecker, the bird. So the whole name "Tikkakoski" is something like the woodpecker stream or torrent(?).
There is no reason to be upset about it.

I see the distinctive snout of a Valmet M76 rifle on the cover of that book! I owned one back in the '80's. Odd tubular folding stock (folded to the left, leaving ejection port unmasked), 5.56mm NATO. Ugly rifle.
