I googled this and found a few posts on other forums but no good information.
Questions:
Has anyone out there shot the 1950's Iranian Surplus 8mm mauser ammo currently available from Samco in their Hakim rifle?
If so, where did you set the gas valve for safe/reliable operation (especially SAFE)?
I already know that this stuff shoots like crap; my M24/47 does not like it at all and I won't be shooting it for groups off the bench. But I have ~380 rounds left and WILL be using it up in the new (to me) Hakim. I would like to do this without blowing up this beautiful (to me) rifle, not to mention my hands, face, etc.
Any real world experience would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
