I've had one of these on my list since I first laid eyes on one. Now I finally have my own Hakim!! Super stoked to take this sweet puppy out to the range and let the thunder roll!

Very nice. Ive got a question. Are those related to the Gewehr 43?
Try to shoot decent ammo in it. Ruptured cases vent through the magazine.
About time somebody posted a golden oldie!
No, they're a version of the Swedish Ljungman.
So aren't they all a take on the Russian SVT? Isn't that what started this mini arms race?

Is that the development order?
Thanks guys, I'm still pretty stoked about it. I haven't taken it to the range yet, I need to take it apart to clean and inspect everything first. At first look, everything seems ok, it had been in a safe for a while. I happened upon a very nice lady who was selling her late hisband's collection off. She had 2 of these but the other one was missing a mag and the forend of the stock had been shortened. She said she had a pile of 8mm ammo and mags but didn't know what they were and had sold them off already. The bipod is going to come off. It looks cool in pictures, but it is kind of a cheesy thing that just clamps to the barrel. I had read about the MG13 mag conversion, but I'm not ready to start grinding on this rifle yet.
