Our Assessment: Egyptian Hakim rifles were made at State Factory 54 during the 1950’s and early 1960’s. The Hakim was Egypt’s first domestically produced semi automatic rifle. It is based on the Swedish AG 42 Ljungman. It is a semi automatic rifle with a strong bright bore. It is marked with clear Arabic script & numerals. This is a tough rifle that can put 8mm downrange as fast as you can pull the trigger. Good luck.
