Hakim Rifle

[Brian_L]

I have seen a few of these around at the gun shows in my area and I I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on these interesting rifle.


What is the going "rate" for the Hakim?
What is this I hear about them crushing fingers?
Is there anything I should look out for if I aim to purchase one?


Thanks and Merry Christmas

Check out www.surplusrifle.com and look at the Hakim page.

I really wanted a Swedish Ljungman but they are much more expensive than the Hakim. The Hakim is a very close relative to the Ljungman chambered in 8mm mauser. I just bought one and I should pick in up in a week or so.

Any idea on how much they run for?

Look at the Rasheed also !

Given if you can find one, the average price is close to $500 for one.

What were they asking for the ones at the show?

I think the last one I saw was 950+.

Ouch! $500-650 is what I've seen.
Real beast of a rifle...

On gunbroker they run $600 to $800 but I've never seen one sell for that much. I scored mine for $425 but the usual going rate seems to be $500-575.

Always check the bore and overall condition. Some seem really nice and others are beat to heck. I don't know of any real problems with the design other than they can smash your fingers if you arent paying attention.

hakim shoot better then you would think considering the awkward balance. mines pretty accurate. but mine in mint condition.

They are a ton of fun to shoot. Once you get the gas system adjusted for the ammo that you are using, I have found them to be very reliable. Back when 8mm was $.05 per round delivered, you could plink most of an afternoon for less then the cost of a decent meal. I enjoy shooting from the bench and feeling the rush of air fly passed your head from the break. Recoil is nill and accuracy is minute of rock....

They had one at the Cal Expo show last week, in so-so shape, for $800. Some people are counting on Obama panic. No way was it worth that much.

It will depend on what it's worth to the right buyer.

$600-800 max, in really good condition. $400-500 for a shooter grade. They are fun, but loud.

I think that is a little low for today.
