FROM WIKIPEDIA
The Hakim rifle is a gas-operated semi-automatic rifle. It was originally designed in Sweden by Erik Eklund and produced as the Ag m/42 for the Swedish Army. The tooling and design were later sold to Egypt, and the Hakim was produced there during the 1950s and early 1960s. It was replaced in the mid-1960s by the Maadi AK-47 but was stored in military reserve arsenals. In more recent years, it has been observed in use by some Egyptian police units. Around 70,000 were made.
