Egypt's First Semi

[echo1]

Hi Gunners,

I throughout an "I'll take it" on a very nice Hakim rifle ammo and bayo package. It's more or less a push on cost from a '69 Albanian SKS I recently moved. The market is kinda tough across the board for old iron these days but I'm happy and have a '70 Alby left. The common SKS Euro rifles are nearing the prices they should be pulling considering how scarce they are.
Here's a couple crappy pictures of the Hakim. I can't nail down if it been humped or a MADDI refurb (?) and it's just too clean to have seen action. It says 1971 but I thought that was past the production years. At any rate it's totally cool if kinda contraptiony in function. I can see how it'd crush your thumb :-[ PAX

Okay I don't know anything about that rifle, but I like it!

I was under the impression that Hakims ended production in the 60's and replaced by the AK-47

Gunboards consensus is it is a 1961 MAADI refurb, based mainly on the staking screws being fixed with black wire, fresh paint & stamped factory mag, gentle stock refinish (not aggressively sanded). No refurbed marks are used by the factory. PAX

Does your phone take pictures in "thumbnail" mode?

It says 1971 but the 7 is a 6 in Arabic, so 1961 is the year it was born. PAX
