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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
I inherited one of these about 25 years ago and I finally found the mag. Looking forward to taking it to the range.
I read a few comments that the video was too long. I want to weigh in and say it was perfect length.
You guys should do a Remington 870 or Mossberg 590 Torture Test.
ugh finally! I've been waiting years for a decent Hakim video
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?
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.
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 😐
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.
25:35 If I could just go one damn day without hearing that...
Sierra175 under appreciated comment bruh I feel you.
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.
Egypt makes excellent weapons. Egypt is one of the countries that is way underrated.
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 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 😊
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.
Finally proper 8x57IS rounds going down long range.. Thank you boys! :)
Hakim cousin's (Rasheed in 7.62x39) is a nice rifle too.
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."
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 !!
MORE MILSURPS MORE MORE
No! I like my wallet! End the price gouging!
Hmm, musta clicked this before the HD version was ready.
You guys should each pick one milsurp out of your collection and do a lunch battle with it. That would be a fun video
Georgia is beautiful Eric :)
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.
This rifle was born back when Sweden was Sweden.
Sweden is still called Sweden, what do you mean?!
Ravi S Chadha. i assume you don't watch the news
Glorywhole Oh, you're talking about Swedistan.
Gay and Muslim really don't go together...
MrcabooseVG tell that to the "welcome refugees" swedish guys, please!
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 on this old battle rifle. For using irons sights, this rifle is definitely "dead nuts" accurate.
It was 40 minutes long had to check if it was nutnfancy.
its a joke.
Jake Blanton 😄
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.
I've had one of these for about 10 years and it is one of my favorite surplus rifles
*pokes around in the thumbnails and sees this vid and immediately thinks "WTF is that?"
That is a nice range you guys have. I would be out everyday with my norinco m14 if i had a range like that.
"That's so tiny!"
That's what she said.
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 !
Got one of those nearly thirty years ago and had to figure it all out trial and error, but I love the beast.
Ya'll need to make up some match ammo for it and make a part 2 for this video.
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.
Not about the rifle but I like what you did by sewing on that name tape to your ear pro!
You gotta do an updated vid like this with the garand.
My grand father got one of it in 1962 he was living in a village in the desert in upper egypt and he killed alot ot wolves with this HAKIM riflle
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.
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
CAY-O-TAYs picking off pets in my hood.
I wish you could edit the comments to only those pertaining to the video so we all could glean the info instead of wading thru bullshit nonsense
David Methvin bla blah
Am I the only one noticing the grounds looking much more green than ever before
It’s watered with liberals tears
Nice video - great rifle :)
Luv the 8mm Mauser
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.
a friend of mine is in the Israeli army and came across one of them Egypt 8mm ekeim " sorry if I didn't spell that right get over it" he says over the many wars Israel has been through they have quite the weapons Museum/ware house and some of them weapons you can fire! if you know the right people! Any ways the Egyptian 8mm was one of them and yes they bite bad the grande has nothing on that Egypt rifle thing when it comes to biting thumbs.He got 28 stitches and loss of a thumbnail and possibly a fractured thumb lol but the gun shoots ok he says lol
Alittle story since field and stream and dicks are infringing on our rights and when I had a hakim. I traded my ak47 for an hakim back in 2016 and I drew the carrier back when I was shooting and the bolt would not fly forward so I took it to field and stream to have them look at It thinking it was jammed. I gave it to the guy and told him the bolt is suppose to fly forward after the carrier is bushed back and the guy looked at me like I was from outter space so he took a look at it and had no idea what to look for. He came back and said I have no idea whats wrong with it, I don't wanna mess with it. So I was looking at the gun and I flipped the safety pulled back on the carrier alittle and the bolt flew forward. The guy looked at me like wtf just happened. So I pushed the carrier back and forward to see if it would jam and it didn't it was just my stupidity. His face was just priceless though it was the funniest thing ive ever seen in my life! lol
Proud to be a Coptic Egyptian, free the Christian land!! Deus Vult.
JOE BLOE so what's it like living in egypt
Lol I live in Canada, the longest time I have spent in Egypt is 5 weeks. The Egyptian people are heavily divided along religious and racial lines, Coptic farmers are prosecuted for keeping pigs, the Arabs bomb Coptic churches, and nothing is done about it etc. The Coptic religion descends directly from the teachings of Christ, such as turning your other cheek and loving your neighbor, we are not strong and militant like Catholics and Protestants, this will ultimately be the end of us.
JOE BLOE oh hahaha I live about 30 miles from Canada Montana!!!!!
Thats weird. From coptics actually in Egypt I have heard different stories. Yea, there are def bombings done on churches, but I have heard that they are mostly done by the government to keep the christians and the muslims divided so its easier to have them fight each other rather than the dictator. From what some coptics told me, during the revolution coptics and muslims protected each other during their prayers. The way I see it, the muslims way outnumber the christians there, if they really didnt want christians there they would have done what the christians did in spain. But the fact that christians still exist in arab lands shows that the muslims are willing to live and let live...mostly. Just my thoughts, lmk what you think.
As we know in North America, everyone loves to blame the government. Why would the Egyptian government want to divide the population, it doesn't make any sense. The government wants the people to be united against threats like ISIS and Saudi Arabia. The two most recent church bombings in Egypt were done by ISIS, as they consider the Copts infidels. Obviously not all Arabs are like this, but it only takes a few bad apples to ruin it for the bundle, as Europeans know very well. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is not a dictator, he was democratically Elected. In fact, his government is on the front lines fighting the muslim brotherhood, preventing a genocide of minority groups.
*Misses 4 times* "Man these things are accurate!" Lmao!
I'm paying attention to the group. Not necessarily where it's hitting. I'm convinced that a lot of these old guns will shoot better than most people can see.
I know, just thought it was funny. There's one for sale local to me that's pretty cheap that I might swing by and pick up.
Iraqveteran8888 cathal like you girl :)
Matt Hill your mom is accurate
Is that yugo ammo corrosive? Also, does your shell deflector mangle the brass? I try reload for mine, but the deflector just destroys the brass.
Wrap some electrical tape on the deflector. Solved the problem for me and it looks original too.
Yes the yugo ammo is berdan primed and corrosive. I bought some of 1999 MFG date and it's still corrosive but damn good ammo tho, very consistent. I think it's the best surplus 8mm I've tried.
noirtec9 I just got this rifle for $300 at my local pawn shop. They didn't know what they had. Get rekd pawn shop!
Ghostus Coyote lol shit dude I never get lucky lol
do what I did, get a piece of rubber tubing at the auto parts store, slit it lengthwise and slip it over the brass deflector, no more mangled brass,
great video again! Thanks for showing! Best regards from germany!
First shot he says "Im just gonna go for the head"
Proceeds to shoot Mr Happy. Right in the head!! Haha.
Love the videos guys thanks for al you do.
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.
Have 1 of this really accurate and super loud
fantastic shooting and great overview fellas
love your work
Absolute masterpiece of a video. I've learned a lot.
I bought one of these in the 90's for couple hundred, with the bayonet and 500 rounds...Gun is badass!!
I wish I was 10 years older and had gotten into surplus weaponry...these things are worth gold...Some rifles were $50 bucks, now they are $500. GEEESH.
Anyway, this rifle is out to hurt you, now doubt. They made sure they added enough steps to the loading procedure, that someone would just throw the whole thing at the enemy.
nice to be early! that's such a cool looking gun.
Erik these Hakim's are not inexpensive ! I just checked prices and wow they are pricey on every venue.
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!
Can you please do a Ruger Precision Rifle 6.5 Creedmore?
I was never brave enough to use stripper clips on mine .
good stuff guys keep up the action I couldn't even tell it was a 40 min video
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!
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!
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.
I saw one of these 1 month ago in excellent condition for 600. And I didn't jump...been haunting me ever since.
I got my Hakim some time ago, what a great rifle. You can also use MG13 25 round magazines with it as well.
I adore the 8mm Hakim, so damn good! AG-42 is awesome, only made better with that sexy 8mm
Cannot imagine doing that in the heat of battle
please do a video on the Winchester 1910 selfloader (and a Browning auto 5 or Remington 81 would be nice to
i wanna see the HUDSON H9 asap!
Video idea- Hakim vs AG42B. winner of that vs Garand. All at 600 yards.
Garand would lose to the Ljungman.
Joe. just remember what the M1 gave way for and the M14 is still a prefered battle rifle in todays military.
Gregory Stell I'm not saying the garand itself is inaccurate, but the 6.5x55 swede round is a better performing cartridge than the .30-06...and I have both these guns and having shot them concluded as much.
I can tell you that outcome right now. Ljungman beats the Hakim, Ljungman beats the Garand. It would be interesting to see an SKS go head to head with a Rasheed though.
man it was a really nice day there. did anyone else notice what a nice day it was to be outside there?
Ah the good old days when Chad didn’t look like an NPR reporter.
Or you can just keep the mag in and never get your finger smashed.
Yes Eric, you can fly me out to Georgia for a day at the range.
haven't even got past first few seconds of video and already liked vid. I love the Hakim, always have - always will
Good shit. I love these long videos where it becomes more and more likely to hear you two bicker.
You should do a video on the rasheed rifle. That would be awesome.
Nice shooting for sure :-) Got to love that Hakim rifle :)))
I see you bought the brass gas key too. The guy who makes those is a really nice guy, but those keys aren't adequately strong. You can see in this vid just how bad Eric's is mushrooming from use. If you have a stuck gas adjustment valve, don't even dream of being able to move it with this brass key. You need to get the steel one. I forget where I got mine, probably ebay. It looks like a nut and you use a wrench with it. But my gas valve was completely rusted in place, broke the hell out of the brass key (the machined triangle opening just blew out when I tried to turn it). The steel key has held up great. Don't bother with the plastic gas key either, even if your valve isn't stubborn, the plastic one won't hold up. When you take the safety base off the back, be careful of the claw part that sits down into the action. If you get that twisted around wrong when it's out of the gun, the whole mechanism can come apart and it's a REAL PAIN to get back together. There aren't any videos or instructions on how to do it either, all you have is the parts diagram and you need about four hands to get it done. If I had a decent camera I would have filmed it, but it would have been a long video with lots of cussing and trial/error. Eric, now we need a reloading video on this rifle. You know you're tempted to reload for it!
Picked up a 1961 Hakim a few months back. Such a sweet shooter.
Great video. You bounced one into the 8 inch round on your last try Eric.
Closest thing to a Gewehr 43 I'll have lol.
i like the look of that triangular receiver.
Love the video, PLEASE DO A STEYR M95 LONG RIFLE NEXT!
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 miss mine. going to have to get another. such a good range gun.
Have you done any research into what year your Hakim is? Mine has markings that it was made in the brief period of time when Syria and Egypt were united as the "United Arab Republic" ... I have always thought that that was a pretty cool little tidbit to discuss at the range :)
Bill Furyhockey64 cathal like you girl :)
