Description

Physical description

Egyptian Hakim rifle rifle & sling; bolt removed for display.

History note

The Hakim rifle was the outcome of a decision by the new Egyptian government, which replaced the deposed King Farouk in 1954, to set up an indigenous Egyptian small arms industry. The opportunity was taken to purchase the production machinery for the Swedish Ag-42 rifle. The Hakim therefore follows the design of the Swedish weapon, with the addition of an adjustable gas port and a muzzle brake. A modified version of this weapon, which chambered the Soviet 7.62 x 39mm cartridge, was later produced, being known as the Rashid. However both rifles were replaced in Egyptian service during the 1960s by the Soviet AK47 and AKM.
