This "From The Vault" video from Brownells Gun Techs Keith and Caleb features an in-depth look at the Egyptian Hakim service rifle, hosted at Rock Island Auction Company. The Hakim, which originated as the Swedish AG-42, was manufactured in Egypt in the 1950s and chambered in 8mm Mauser. It served as Egypt's main battle rifle before being replaced by the AK-47. The video highlights its direct-impingement gas system with an added gas flow adjuster for varying ammunition. Keith demonstrates a field strip, explaining the rifle's robust operating system and comparing its potential for "ouchy" to the Garand Thumb. Despite a massive steel receiver and good recoil taming muzzle device, accuracy can be affected by stock bedding issues, and the rifle is noted as being very loud.
