Hakim 8mm, the good made great.

Full disclosure, this rifle belongs to Nonliberal and had a few failures causing him to question it's reliability.

Now, I sat and stared at this really unique work of art in steel and wood. Aluminum and plastic just doesn't hold the beauty for me and I was excited that Nonlib entrusted me with curing its ailment. I have owned a Hakim in the past and was a bit surprised at the failures. So, after a complete tear down I found something odd, uneven wear. Guess the Egyptians aren't the greatest in metallurgy, and like many other firearms shooting surplus ammo corrosion is an issue.






So, after refitting and a little Ogre-izing. It was ready to test, video to follow.

Then of course... Dave had to get in on it.

Awesome! I have wanted to love that rifle because of the potential for badassedness but a jam every couple of rounds is a bummer. Thanks Shrek, I appreciate it. Now do we send it off for nickel boron? The whole damn thing...

Oh great, now Nonlib has a chance of outshooting my SVT! Seriously though, nice work Shrek...

Apparently, the Egyptians are bad at a number of things - metallurgy and government topping the list.

It really is a badass... Although not shooting for one hole, my wife kept it under an inch

... Which is what she is use to.

Using Irons (because real men do) I would put a properly tuned Hakim at 100yrds up against an SVT.
