Egyptian Rasheed

[DoggyDaddy]

Just arrived today. I'm hoping I get to shoot it either Sunday or Monday. I'm real happy with the condition. Bore looks great, but the rifle needs a good cleaning from being in storage for several years.





And here she is with her big sister (Hakim).

Looks good. Is the Rasheed derived from the SKS? Looks very similar.

It's actually closer to the Hakim, which was derived from the Swedish Ljungman. I did a basic field strip just to give it a visual once-over and they break down the same. But you're right, they do look similar. Bayonet looks almost identical, and works the same as the one on that Yugo.

Here's a wiki...

if only your Hakim looked as good as mine...

My wife has been wanting to get a Rashid for some time now DD, she wants it to go along with her VZ52 but yet she has zero interest in a SKS.

Nice looking rifle!

I want a VZ52 really bad, but I would like to find one in 7.62x39. I understand they make a conversion of some sort, but to find one already chambered in 7.62x39 would be ideal. I think Rick had one in the original 7.62x45 in his shop once when I was there.

The wifes is in 7.62x39 DD, it is one of the ones CIA imported and sleeved for x39. While I worried about it so far it has run flawlessly the past 7 years.

I'm envious! And aren't those referred to as SHE rifles?

DD Are the Magazines on the Harkim & Rasheed different Size, I know they are different Caliber, But wonder if the Rasheed is smaller????

There is a SHE at a gun shop in south central Indiana. States it's still 7.62x45 if you are interested.

there was a Rasheed in the classifieds that i wanted to get to go with this......till my steering clutches went out of my dozer

Yes it's much smaller... almost an inch shorter.

Thanks for the heads up, but I really want to look for one of the x39 models. That x45 ammo is pricey if you can find it.

I've got one of those 25 round mags for mine too. Nice aren't they!? I've got another MG3 (?) mag that I want to try and modify so I will have a second one.

Pretty much the reason I haven't bought it. Heard you can convert 270 Swift.

Many Thanks, one more question, Does the receiver and the bolt on the Rasheed function the exact same as the Harkim?

Just a question why did you worry about it????? And the Vz52 is just a Beautiful rifle...

On a side note, SOmeone (Ironhead maybe) told me that they saw one at the Stout Field show that had been converted from 7.62x45 to 7.62x39..
Has anyone really done this in the after Market world?????
