Our Assessment: . The Maadi MISR S/A is an Egyptian-made semi-automatic rifle based on the AKM, the modernized version of the iconic AK-47. Produced by Maadi Company for Engineering Industries, the Maadi MISR S/A was imported into the United States during the 1990s, making it one of the few authentic AKM variants available to American consumers at that time. The rifle is chambered in 7.62x39mm, known for its durability, reliability, and ease of use, characteristics that have made the AK platform legendary worldwide.
The Maadi MISR S/A features a stamped steel receiver, a characteristic of the AKM design, which contributes to its ruggedness and lighter weight compared to the original milled-receiver AK-47. The Maadi MISR S/A’s reputation as a robust and reliable rifle, coupled with its historical significance as an Egyptian-made AKM, makes it an interesting piece for both shooting and collecting purposes. This rifle was imported during the Assault Rifle Ban and to meet regulations the bayonet lug was shaved, the threads covered, and the receiver fitted with a thumbhole stock.
