Really nice lookong rifle. Where did you find the bayonet thats what I need for mine. I just like to have the bayonets for my service rifles. TC

I never shot a Hakim but I have a Garand and I'd say it shoots very close to the Garand. The M1 has beter sights but the 49 is much simpler and doesn't need clips. It also has the adjustable gas port as designed so can adapt to different ammo. Its an excellent rifle and I'm glad I got it when I...

I live close enough to go to Sarcos so when I had to replace the frozen gas vent cover I went there and got it. It was so bad I had to cut it off and replace it. I also bought a Garand operating rod there. Cool place, but I bought a bunch of loose 8mm mauser and it had some odd ammo mixed in...

I have an Egyptian FN-49 and it is a great rifle. And here is a picture. Got it a few years ago damn I bought it before 9/11. It has been a few years, paid about $340. for it. Anyone know where I could find a bayonet fo it?

I believe the only thing you would add would be tracers if required. Geneva Convention only allows ball ammo. Unless using armor piercing or API (armor piercing incindiary) ammo but thats usually an MG round. SF might be able to mix and match not regular GIs. TC Got out in 2003

The Military Channel had the lastest best Sniper competition on at Fort Benning and one of the events was shooting from a moving and hovering Blackhawk. They showed the actual event and stated that it was practiced in Iraq. It also takes alot of practice. TC

Just signed up Born in North Jersey and live in Middlesex County. TC

I reassembled mine wrong once as well and the clips wouldn't seat. I would field strip and reassemble making sure its good then try again. TC

"too got a kick out of the fact that Eastwood was sitting in his jeep in a German occupied town and the Krauts passed by unnoticing -- until one turned around, and is promptly run down by Eastwood." Just an aside the Germans were short on reliable motor transport and would use captured...

That is my all time favorite movie. As a tanker its one of the few movies that features a tanker as a main character. Oddball "woof, woof" was my idol. It also used real Sherman tanks though with post war mods and they tried to make the Tigers resemble Tigers. Unlike other movies(Battle of the...

Yes, If I didn't she would say no you don't need it. Does she tell you about new shoes? TC

Mag in pouch is OK but the mag must be covered, and not all TSA officers are up on the latest reg changes. It up dates every few months. TC

Guys I work in the airport closely with checked baggage and deal with firearms every day. Every airport is different because TSA regs are vague thus open to interpretation. A TSA officer should never handle a firearm except to insure nothing is hidden under it, it is not his job to insure it is...

Also I believe original Egyptian FNs have a brass circular arms room tag on the stock. I paid $360 or so for mine. They are great rifles. I attached a picture of mine, as far as I can tell it is original. I first saw the type in a Guns and Ammo surplus special and thought if I ever find one I...

308 many not be used in very many battle rifles any more but it is still the major US and NATO machine gun caliber. All platoon level MGs are 7.62X51. All M1s sport 2 M240s. It could be alot is being used up right now. If it does get surplused it just has to be delinked. I've shot quite a bit of...

Mine cracked around the piston and I bought a replacement at Sarcos. They also sell on line. I paid around $30 it looked like surplus and was unused. TC

I have an FN-49 and like it alot and shoot it alot. I have read about Hakims and handled them at the shop. Buy the FN European craftsmanship over Egyptain work, haven't done anything good since the Pyramids. If looks count the 49 is really sharp the Hakim is fugly. If form follows function go...

270 I got the surplus at a local gun store which carries a lot of odd ball stuff in sealed original boxes on 5 round stripper clips. The new manufacture I got at Sarcos. AH-1 thank you sir and my hat is off to you as well I heard the Chec border was tough duty as well. The 11th was the best...

Well civilian versions aside I think it would make a great replacement for the M16 for our military. The versatility of the weapon is awesome. TC

AH-1 I was in the 11th from 77-79 in Fulda, border duty sure was fun, I was a tanker (DUH) by your handle I'd guess aviation. I had a 308 conversion it was a POS pieces fell of after only a few rounds. I liked the rifle though and got a better one in 7.5. The lack of ammo and the problems...
