A Hakim in the rifle rack, for sale!!!
..............I was in Turners in San Bernardino picking up my new Savage today, and danged if they didn't have a Hakim up there in the rack. Looked to be in nice shape for $299. I didn't ask to handle it as the very uniqueness of even SEEING one made me want to buy it. Had I looked down the barrel and if it had been in good shape I'm afraid I may have had a fit of immaturity and bought it :-)
I already have a nice Hakim (and a Ljungman AG42b) that I haven't shot in must be 5-6 years now. So why would anyone with a half a brain buy another? I haven't seen what they're going for these days but I'm pretty sure it's over $300!
...............Buckshot
I have one that I have owned for over 10 years
and have never fired.
It has the best fit and finish of any military rifle I have ever handled.
Action is adjustable so brass issues, at least the dispersion could be reduced.
I was told that if I wanted undamaged brass to put a small piece of rubber hose on the brass deflector.
Come to think about it I have a VZ-52 I bought at the same time that I have never fired either.
