Hakim rifle in excellent condition. Made in Egypt, very unique Swedish design

Description.

The Hakim rifle is a gas-operated semi-automatic rifle. It was originally designed in Sweden by Erik Eklund and produced as the Ag m/42 for the Swedish Army. The tooling and design were later sold to Egypt, and the Hakim was produced there during the 1950s and early 1960s. It was replaced in the mid-1960s by the Maadi AK-47 (a licensed copy of the Soviet rifle) but was stored in military reserve arsenals.
