The Hakim Rifle is a gas operated semi-automatic rifle. It was originally designed by Sweden and produced as the AG-42 Ljungman for the Swedish Army. The tooling and design were later sold to Egypt and the Hakim was produced there during the 1950s and 1960s. There were approx 70,000 made in Egypt. These rifles were issued to Egyptian Military during the Suez crisis and this is most probably a captured weapon from that conflict.
