I'm thinking 8MM is a real shoulder buster in that rifle? My max recoil tolerance is with an M1 Garand. 20 rounds, sometimes a little more.

Between weighing nearly 11 pounds and the effect of the muzzle brake, it's actually not too bad the shoulder. What hurts a lot more is the cost of commercial/non-corrosive 8mm Mauser ammo.

I love the look of those Hakim rifles, but if I can't load (reasonably priced) for it, I won't own it.

If one finds the Baby Browning uncomfortably large, there's always the option of the Walther Model 9. This one (top one in the pic) about 1933-dated.

I have a hand me down Remington Model 12-A .22 from 1920. Was my grandfathers back in the day.
My dad had it for years in the back of the closet. We were talking guns one day and he said you might be interested in this and passed it on to me.

I too recently scored on a very nice Hakim. Appears to be a MADDI refurb (the screws are staked, stock redone), the factory doesn't use arsenal stamps in the process. Two '51 Russian SKS joined the stable too, one as issued one light refurb. PAX

View attachment 2114167

I built one out of a SARCO barreled action and the last of my scrubed bits. I put a little flair in it, Be sides the phenolic stock I used a black bolt carrier, black Alby bayo and black naval sling. It's tough to get a good color match with the fiberglass bits. Top rifle in this group of builds or mods. Black rifle in Butler Creek furniture is cut to 18.5", to use a stock neutered front site globe, Mojo rear, black web sling, 5 round mag. I call it the Canadian Deer Slayer. The next rig was a pre-bubba salvage, home-grown Paratrooper cut to 16.5", Williams rear sight, P50 front, short TriDelta 14X1 break. Bottom Paratrooper's wood happened to match a French tickler hand guard, so I used it there. PAX

The Sistema guns issued to the Air Force have an odd serial number. Took me a while to figure out the right side of the pin is a number issued by the Air Force and the left side is serial - This one is a 1951 one of the last made that year.

Model 8 from 1917 and a 1903 Springfield from 1931. Has anyone seen a bolt like the 1903 has? It was rebuilt in Augusta according to the stamp but the back of the bolt doesn't have the knob on it like others I've seen.

That model 8 is a beaut. That was the rifle I was loaned to deer hunt on my first go with my Portagee buds' family, His dad, uncles and cousins. PAX

A gift from my FIL when he felt he was no longer capable of owning or caring for firearms, it's yet another Belgium Browning, the grips are new replacement grips I bought and not the originals.

I have never seen a USGI M1903 with a striker rod that was missing the pull knob and it certainly would not leave an arsenal in that condition. I would tend to believe that is a modification done by a private owner. Super easy and cheap to replace with a proper USGI striker rod.

The only ones I've seen were on national match rifles built for competition and the strikers were identical. This is not a national match gun but it was rebuilt before world war 2. From what I have read they were in a crunch for guns so they used every part they had. Even the improperly heat treated bolts and actions got rebuilt for the war effort. I wonder if that's how this rifle ended up with the striker it has. The parkerizing is very good and it matches the bolt and striker. Either way this rifle doesn't look like it ever went to war after rebuilding.
