In this video we shoot and discuss the Egyptian Hakim chambered in 8mm Mauser. These rifles were based off the Swedish AG-42 Ljungman and were built to utilize the massive stockpiles of 8mm ammunition the Egyptians owned post WW2. The Hakim differs slightly from the AG-42 in that it features an adjustable gas system and a more substantial muzzle break to combat recoil from the more powerful 8mm cartridge. This particular example was produced in 1960 and is just an absolute joy to shoot as you will see. Stay tuned, much more military surplus content inbound.

thank you for making a review about one of our old classic Egyptian rifles. I'd never thought you'd do a video on this topic. Greetings from Egypt.
Praetorian thank you, have you heard about the new moduled cz that will get officially circulated to all our military branches?
Daddy Keemstar heard of this thing called strategy?
Abe The Egyptian Pharaoh... Nothing wrong with Egyptian firearms, the recent Islamist issues is another thing. Hope you guys can get Egypt back and bring it back to the great country it was before! I trained with several Egyptian soldiers and they were some of the best people I've known! I just hope that they are still ok after everything that's happened there since then!
Daddy Keemstar why have you got a mein Kampf audio book in one of your playlists? Are you a neo nazi??
Daddy Keemstar because it's not about rifles, it's about military readiness. this rifle dates back way before the six days war. today this is just a pure ancient architecture that can deal some pretty dangerous damage if it is used right.
we lost to Israel in 1967 because most of our military firepower was placed on yemen.
if you're going to turn this into a political debate like a 10 year child on who lost to whom then drag your ass out of here, no one wants that bullshit over here.
always amazes me the sheer smackdown 8mm mauser delivers. phenomenal round
yeah, even lighter, modern 8mm shook the stock of my Turkish Mauser apart 😭
but hey, it needed a new stock anyway
I’ve had my Hakim for about 4 years and I absolutely love it! I’ve fired hundreds of rounds through it. It’s very accurate. I can’t imagine how much more accurate it could be if I loaded my own ammo. I just use cheap surplus 8mm. I’ll never get rid of it. Plus it’s a conversation piece at the range. Most people have no idea what it is or they confuse it with being an SVT40.
I bought my Hakim at Moss Pawn Shop back in 1990.
I inherited one of these about 25 years ago and I finally found the mag. Looking forward to taking it to the range.
You guys are the reason surplus firearms are expensive now.
Anthony Pickens that and the sandy hook shooting. guns like these used to be cheap before these mass killings sprung up.
Anthony Pickens, jmans is on it. The political climate of recent years has contributed massively to people buying up tons of firearms and driving the price up on just about everything. I doubt prices (especially ammo prices) go down becuase now sellers know people will pay more
Well, that and the fact that there's a shrinking amount of them each day.
No, it has nothing to do with Sandy Hook. That had no effect on the surplus firearms market, but was more prevalent to the commercial firearms market.
I just say it because they made surplus firearms so popular over time with there videos.
Agreed, them (and other youtubers) have increased the awarness for some of these cool old guns. Thegoldencaulk, I would argue that politics still have an effect on the surplus market. When it was really crazy people (at least in my area) were buying up anything semi auto with a detachable mag and pistols 9mm and higher (even mosins vanished). Before everything went nuts I could still find most popular surplus guns easily and for a decent price. Now I rarely see anything, and when I do it's overpriced because like you said, there aren't any more being made. The commercial market was deff hit harder, but they are always making more of those.
good video eric, we have some of these hakims floating around in Saudi Arabia, here we call them " مكسرة الأصابع" which literally translates to " finger smasher", the rifle was named hakim after the head of the Egyptian armed forces at that time " abdulHAKIM Amir"
I did not know about the reason of that name, wow! I thought it must have been like "this gun will send you to God's judgement fast." for the name
Hakim means wise.
حكيم
Glad you mentioned Hakim Thumb! It's a whole other world from Garand Thumb. Case in point a friend of mine saw a local get his thumb caught in a Hakim when he was deployed overseas. The local peeled the flesh off down to the bone as he tried to pull his thumb out.
Ljungman-Hakim Thumb. Another thumb killer given to you from the East.
I just walked in a gun store today and saw one on consignment for $799, no tax. Came with a bayonet and a mix of about 200 rounds of soft points in old boxes and loose/clipped surplus ball. The price lokked reasonable to me and I didn't even haggle.
Me reading this in 2022 😐
you guys just drove the price of these up $300-400 on gunbroker!
Mrgunsngear Channel exactly what i was thinking haaa
Mrgunsngear Channel 😄
I would think the devilish details revealed in this video would have cause the price to crash
lol I just went on there too.
Mrgunsngear Channel and just like any Swiss or Finnish rifle everyone is sold out
Egypt makes excellent weapons. Egypt is one of the countries that is way underrated.
The adjustable direct gas impingement is an Egyptian design on this rifle. When Egypt bought the tooling and design of the Swedish 6.5x55 from Sweden, it wanted to make good use of the huge stockpiles of 8mm ammunition it had since the end of WWll. The Swedes had a fixed gas system which didn't allow adjustments. Aside from the gas system, the rest of the adjustments made in Egypt are obvious; a beefier barrel, and a fixed, integral muzzle break were added to tame the recoil of the 8mm. Incidentally, the muzzle break is not a flash suppressor. It was strictly added to mitigate recoil. Great, very informative video ! Well done !!
I read a few comments that the video was too long. I want to weigh in and say it was perfect length.
Back around 1970 or so, a friend of mine purchased a Hakim at a now defunct (chain) Five and Dime, of all places, in North Carolina for $75.00. To this day he owns only two center fire rifles, the Hakim and a WWII German semiauto rifle that his now deceased Dad brought home in 1946 and willed to my friend. Bill switches off hunting with the two rifles depending on how he feels when he wakes up on "Hunting Day" and has managed to fill his freezer with venison and pork/bacon every year with one or the other of the two rifles.
I've had one of these for about 10 years and it is one of my favorite surplus rifles
ugh finally! I've been waiting years for a decent Hakim video
Thank you so much for finally making this video! I've been waiting so eagerly ever since I got mine and the next week you guys mentioned making a future video of it, then kept teasing the video, and now it's finally here! I can't believe it! Keep up the good work guys! Love the videos.
Finally proper 8x57IS rounds going down long range.. Thank you boys! :)
I’ve seen these before at gun shows 20 years ago and walked right by them. I had no idea how good these are. I want one! I award you guys the Hakim Salesmen of the Year award!
Got one of those nearly thirty years ago and had to figure it all out trial and error, but I love the beast.
25:35 If I could just go one damn day without hearing that...
Sierra175 under appreciated comment bruh I feel you.
At a local range 4-5 years ago, most people were packing up for the day when an old timer drove up and pulled a Hakim out of his truck. Having never seen one before I just had to ask what it was. I waited until he fired about 20 rounds and was taking a short break. After about 5 minutes of talking to him he volunteered to let me shoot it. Definitely sweet shooting rifles. I've been looking for one locally ever since with no luck.
I get a kick out of how much you guys like this gun. I've had mine almost 30 years, bought on a whim. Ugly and muzzle heavy, but it is one of the only guns I can hit with in my modest collection. And then there's always the " WTF IS THAT?" when you pull it out at the range. I love it!
I bought one of these in the 90's for couple hundred, with the bayonet and 500 rounds...Gun is badass!!
Great video on this old battle rifle. For using irons sights, this rifle is definitely "dead nuts" accurate.
Picked up a 1961 Hakim a few months back. Such a sweet shooter.
I bought mine way back in 1988, with a coupon from my 1st NRA membership packet for only $189.00 U.S.D. plus shipping to a friend with a C&R lic. I vowed to never sell it...still have it..and seeing this vid for the first time makes me want to get her out and warm her up. SHes' been a safe queen for several years now. Used to hunt deer with it using 186 gr. Winchester soft points...knocks 'em flat. Hits as hard or harder than a 30.06! I concur that the Hakim 8mm is heavy to carry all day but is a very accurate and unique rifle. It don't really need a scope either...shoots great with the irons, as seen here in this vid. I bought 3 crates of Bosnian surplus to feed her back in 2005 when it was still plentiful and relatively cheap. Read it and weep guys! LOL! :-)
Hakim Meaning "Wise" in Arabic
Assaf Tsur is that true? Is it named perhaps for an inventor is is it named for the Arabic word?
Hakim means Judge in indonesian
Hakim is judge, hakeem is wise
Heo Ashrafenko so then are we pronouncing the name wrong? It's spelled Hakim but we say ha-keem.
@@TheIndogamer the same in mafhreb-arabic
You guys should do a Remington 870 or Mossberg 590 Torture Test.
When I watched this video, I immediately remembered the Czechoslovak self-loading rifle VZ. 52, which was in the service of the Czechoslovak army just a few years before the launch of submachine gun VZ.58 (VZ:58 is SMG, not rifle like AK).
What if you made a review of the VZ.52 rifle?
I saw one of these 1 month ago in excellent condition for 600. And I didn't jump...been haunting me ever since.
Good shit. I love these long videos where it becomes more and more likely to hear you two bicker.
You guys should each pick one milsurp out of your collection and do a lunch battle with it. That would be a fun video
i like the look of that triangular receiver.
ERIC,CHAD ya'll should add some wind socks or flags, so we can see the wind...just a thought
well,you can see the trees and grass move.
11:16 "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself."
Every time I see one of your mil-surp videos, I see another gun to own.
I know this comment is a little late, but very much agreed. Watching this channel is great for the gun safe, but not so much for the wallet.
haven't even got past first few seconds of video and already liked vid. I love the Hakim, always have - always will
Hakim cousin's (Rasheed in 7.62x39) is a nice rifle too.
Absolute masterpiece of a video. I've learned a lot.
I miss mine. going to have to get another. such a good range gun.
I'm jealous of the range - what a neat place to shoot
Have 1 of this really accurate and super loud
I know it sucks for the youtubers like these and others but i love not having to watch any advertisements on any of my favorite channels. haha
Great video, Thank you both. Buddy of mine bought one of these about 20 years ago. I was able to shoot it a few times. Was a great gun, only thing I didnt like was it had a weird high pitched sound and we said it would rattle your teeth.
About 6 months ago I was getting a battery for my new weapon light and decided to take the light into Lowe’s with me to make sure I got the right battery. I keep a quick access mini safe in my vehicle because of my state laws, so I went to retrieve my pistol to detach the quick release light.. well I had the slide locked back and in manipulating the pistol without looking because I didn’t want to look suspicious, I managed to hit the slide release. The slide rode forward on a 20lb spring and pinched the tip of my thumb and got stuck. It was just dangling from my finger like you talked about in the video at that was just a little pistol, I can’t imagine doing that with that huge chunky bolt. My skin is crawling thinking about it!
I got my Hakim some time ago, what a great rifle. You can also use MG13 25 round magazines with it as well.
this was just effin cool
good stuff guys keep up the action I couldn't even tell it was a 40 min video
man it was a really nice day there. did anyone else notice what a nice day it was to be outside there?
can you imagine having to reload that in battle.
Remember: Safe mode
It's a huge misconception on the ljungman and Hakeem u dont need it on safe to load it if the magazine is in the gun. It won't go forward until u push it back after the rounds are in.
@@Diabolus1978 it is not advised to load it on fire, while it is possible it is very easy to bump the cover and send the bolt flying home with your finger caught in the process.
@@mikec8086 I have a video on that
@@gustavohonzofo I didn’t see your video on loading the Hakim. Would you cut and paste a link to it?
That is a nice range you guys have. I would be out everyday with my norinco m14 if i had a range like that.
Hey thanks,I have one sitting in my safe for the past 15 years that got in a trade and this is by far the best video I've seen about how it functions
And he still missed that u dont need to have it on safe when loading it.
Hi Guys, I have watched many of your videos where you and Chad share the same gun and probably get it really hot. Most guns will change POI when hot so long range accuracy will suffer. Keep shooting and making these videos !
fantastic shooting and great overview fellas
love your work
Back in the mid 90s a buddy of mine had a Hakim that he modified a bit. First he cut off the front wood jacket to expose the beautiful blued barrel underneath. Then he mounted a scope mounting plate on the left side of the receiver to which he attached a fairly nice 6-24x50 scope. (The scope was over the top of the gun, not the side, just the mounting plate). Then I told him about an article I had read in Gun world mag or Guns n ammo mag about how to modify an MG15 mag by using a file to fit the 30rd clip into the Hakim. When he was finished, he had an AWESOME looking assault/sniper weapon with a 30rd detachable 8mm clip. I believe the mags can still be had from Sarco
Georgia is beautiful Eric :)
Love the longer vids! I don't get the comments by the ADD Millennials with the attention span of a gnat that it's too long! We need more feature length episodes of favorite firearms!
Ganja Guerilla... nope. Not when you are the extreme minority. I've got 2 daughters that also have no reasonable attention span. I say the same to them and their friends! I'm not a Liberal that worries about hurting the feelings of a few( or a lot) by saying truths about any particular group when it's the truth. Unfortunately your peers in the Generation have rightfully EARNED a reputation for being spoiled, selfish, self centered, entitled brats. I know from experience! When I would hire for a new position, I would have to go thru 10 or 12 people for every 1 that I would even consider interviewing! And would have to interview 15-20 per every 1 that I would consider hiring! And would have to let go of 5 of those I gave a shot to and hired! It's an epidemic! Companies waste SO much time, money and resources trying to fill position, just from having to filter thru all the worthless applicants! Then there are those that got coached on filling out applications and resumes and how to interview well and what to say, etc. only to be hired and find out that they have absolutely NO work ethic or understand something as simple as SENIORITY and working your way up! They want to be GIVEN the highest positions and make the highest salaries all while working the LEAST amount! They tend to think that all that matters is that they show up!
Trigger Happy Sorry for not being a carbon copy of your generation. We look forward to inheriting your mess and griping about the generation after us.
I'm a liberal gun-owning millennial and I love videos like these. Hell, after looking up the symptoms I probably have ADHD and I STILL love this stuff.
Maybe you should go out and talk to people who have a different life perspective than you. We were told we were awesome and that we could do anything BY our baby boomer parents. We millennials aren't perfect, but if you are wondering why the world is going to shit look at the age demographic in power right now.
Spoiler: It isn't millennials.
YES, been waiting for you to do this gun for a while now. There is very little TH-cam content on the Hakim, and most of it is pretty poor quality shooting vids with no detail/history. There is a good disassembly video or two, though. I saved one of these from a Pawn shop. Someone cut off the end of the muzzle brake and tried to drill and tap the HANDGUARD for a scope. Yeah, the handguard.... I fixed the handguard and replaced a couple parts. The gas valve was stuck wide open. Couldn't get it to move. Had to soak the gas tube in kroil with the gun upside-down for a long time, then get a steel gas key to finally get it to turn. Someone had used a vice grip to adjust it, the triangle was all gnarfed up. The spring that indexes the gas valve was missing too. The pillar sleeves were missing too, so made them out of some stainless tubing. Got all the issues straightened out, so it's good now. Except the muzzle brake, nothing I can do about that. He cut it off right in front of the main body so I still have most of it, but the part where it narrows back down at the tip is gone. The rifle is so fun to shoot. I even shoot lead cast reloads in mine! Beats the hell out of the brass though, even with some rubber fuel line tubing on the deflector. Kind of a pain to clean after shooting corrosive, since you really need to take the gas valve out and clean in there. The tube is stainless so not much worry there, but the gas valve will rust and seize up. I put some anti-seize on it. The front sight on these is quite fat and not great for long distance shooting. It's really easy to swap out, so I would suggest you buy a replacement and file it down to a more narrow post. Then paint it white or something. That might help a good bit for the longer shots, and you can always return it to 100% original condition. I don't think a peep sight on the rear safety mechanism would be stable enough. That base moves around a little bit, at least on mine. You can buy spares though, so why not get one and have someone weld a peep sight on it for you? It's not Bubba when you can reverse it back to all-original condition!
Yes Eric, you can fly me out to Georgia for a day at the range.
Hmm, musta clicked this before the HD version was ready.
Cannot imagine doing that in the heat of battle
This was entertaining. I think that's some of the best shooting I've seen you guys do at 300 with sights. I hope you haven't forgotten about the PSL. Ive been looking forward to seeing that at 600 with some more consistent ammo. It was stringing around so much in the first video that it's did the gun no justice at all.
Yes! We want another Ljungman video!!
Nice video - great rifle :)
Luv the 8mm Mauser
i love old rifles. they actually come with ironsights.
Pretty nice accuracy for a gun that was created to provide sustained cover fire for machine gun teams. The gun was designed to be shot at a sustained rate of fire (these guys made it look like slow fire) for over 1000 rounds before the need to cool off (hoping to have the machine gun active by then). I own one and they are very temperamental with certain types of ammo but once you get the gas block adjusted it works like a charm but it would be a bitch to have to do it during battle and have to manually extract each cartridge from the chamber as the rims are wide on this ammo and can get lodge needing a screwdriver or tool to pry it out.
that seems like a sweet shooting gun.
I'd really like to see you shoot the Ljungman @600yds as well! it'd be cool to see how the 6.5x55 would behave at that distance.
Really like your videos!
Greets from the land of Volvo and Ljungman's 😊
great video again! Thanks for showing! Best regards from germany!
Awesome, informative video. I bought a Hakim 20+ years ago. Very fun to shoot, indeed.
This gun was extremely accurate at long range with just iron sights as you have there. Maybe it was just me but I loved this gun. First rifle I ever owned
Nope, not just me. You killed it
impressive accuracy
good gun I want one now!
"That's so tiny!"
That's what she said.
You are shooting the one I almost bought 25 or 30 years ago. Nice gun.
What you called a "bulls eye hold" is called a six o'clock hold in competition where a spotter reports to the shooter the location of his hits or misses using a clock dial for reference. I would like to suggest you try this method. i.e; 7 o'clock, just outside, or 7 o'clock 2 inches inside, etc...This gives a more exact reference to the shooter. If it isn't exactly dead center, call it exactly as it is, 3 inches left of center...or for distant targets where you aren't sure, you may say; 2 to 3 inches left of center. With just a bit of practice, you may find this tried and true system to serve your purpose. For years it was the system used in handgun and rifle metallic sihouette competitions. Always, with no exceptions...using a clock dial for reference.
I'd like to see you guys do a Swedish Service rifle episode. If I'm not mistaken you only have 1 Swedish Mauser video posted that was done several years ago. So a Swedish Ljungman/Mauser video would be great.
Saw one of these in great condition out in California (before they fully lost their minds)for 150 and passed it up. Still kicking myself over it. "the one that got away, I guess"
You gotta do an updated vid like this with the garand.
23:16 the popper. Well done!
a 40 minute video of two guys shooting a rifle on a sunny day and enjoying themselves. this needs to be three hours long to fully appreciate the good time being had.
Ya'll need to make up some match ammo for it and make a part 2 for this video.
I allway's wondered about the Hakim..what a great shooter! thank's for another great video guy's!!!...
Not about the rifle but I like what you did by sewing on that name tape to your ear pro!
This Gun makes me proud of my country.
Am I the only one noticing the grounds looking much more green than ever before
It’s watered with liberals tears
Gorgeous stock on the 1st hakim
Like the Aussie pistol club hat !!!
My buddy had one of those blow up in his face, while I was standing next to him, the only thing that saved his face was the dust cover! Blew the mag out and destroyed the dust cover! Something was ever so slightly warped in the breech! Was pretty crazy! 🤔🇺🇲
That round sure packs a wallop!
My friend Matt. Will love this video.Then again might make him feel bad that he sold his.
Nice exotics! Thanks for the review, guys! Though I feel sorry for an Egyptian soldier who was trying to reload this gun in a trench under enemy fire... That must have been a Houdini-trick O_o
i absolutely love mine had it about 15 years
Hey Eric, i just did a video with a Hakim a few months back. I had multiple jams. that being said, I was using surplus steel case ammo and did not have the adjusting tool! still had a blast firing it! no pun intended.
This rifle WiLL absolutely fire out of nowhere if there's a round present in the chamber just like the Remington 700 series. I have been to several countries where there was/is a civil war and have seen and heard first hand reports.
nice to be early! that's such a cool looking gun.
Great video. You bounced one into the 8 inch round on your last try Eric.
I love my Hakim, and she love me.
To anybody saying they need one, yes you do.
@Jonathan Henson as long as you buy standard PPU 8mm you'll be safe
I liked this vid. Always will like old surplus gun vids.
do a video on the French lebel
Frederick Email ah yes bf1 players
bf1 is one of the most historically inaccurate games I've ever played .
You know, you could just be a fan of the rifle in general, and not parrot it from some random video game.
Amen Matthew. I have a Lebel I brought back from Afghanistan (and yes it was done legally before some internet "expert" decides to troll in). It hangs above the door going out to my back deck and one of these days I will get ammo for it and shoot it.
Kevin Stafford just curious how you got that through customs...
