I was looking in the local paper and and a gentleman had "4 old rifles for sale." I called him and he had a couple old mausers and a Egyptian Hakim in excellent condition for $150 each. Someone picked up his 1917 Eddystone yesterday for $150. I have never seen a Hakim, but I purchased her anyways. This is a weird rifle. The gas system is similar to an AR with the gas tube. I am in the process of cleaning her up and will post pictures tomorrow. The stock has a thick finish similar to Russian shilac found on Mosin Nagants and captured 98s, but it really has no dents and hasn't been sanded. Anybody have any experience with this rifle that can give me some pointers? This thing has a ton of parts.
