Description:
This beautiful Egyptian Army Hakim rifle is all-matching and 100% original. Very seldom do we encounter these rifles with this much original finish and in such good condition. More often than not, they have very little original blue finish and the bores are pitted with lots of visible erosion. Originally designed in Sweden, the semi-auto gas-operated 8mm Mauser "Hakim" rifle design and tooling was sold to Egypt in the 1950's, where it was produced into the 1960's with approximately 70,000 rifles manufactured. The Hakim rifle was the main battle arm of the Egyptian Army until it was replaced with the Maadi AK-47 in the mid-1960's. During it's service life it proved to be an excellent weapon; reliable, accurate, powerful, and well-made. This particular Hakim appears to have been issued but well-cared for and shot very little. As you can see in the pictures provided, the original factory finish shows minor wear and handling marks but nothing major, and all of the metal parts have a consistent and attractive patina to them. The bore is clean and bright, with no pitting or notable imperfections visible. The rifling still shows sharp lands and grooves throughout the bore. All of the original factory numbered parts are matching and original, including the buttplate. The original stock set is also in excellent condition overall. It is free from cracks, repairs, or major damage, and only shows very minor handling marks/dings/dents you would expect to see on a foreign military-issued weapon. The original Egyptian Military inspector's mark is still visible on the bottom of the pistol grip. All of the controls and functions of this Hakim are in perfect working order. Mechanically this rifle shows very little to no wear. The action is still nice and tight with no sloppiness, and the bolt goes into battery with authority. We have no doubt that this 8mm Mauser Hakim will function as well today as when it left the factory in the late 1950's or early 1960's. If you have been looking for investment-quality Hakim rifle for your collection that is both all-original and complete this rifle would be an excellent choice.
