Another Hakim...

[Adam Helmer]

Ok, I do not NEED any more military surplus arms, but when I run across one with mint metal and bore, I got to bring it home. I found a nice Hakim for cheap money and it is now on establishment. I did lightly refinish the stock with pure boiled linseed oil after sanding out some dings.

At the bench, the Hakim likes my 150 grain handloads. I now trek over the farm with the hounds and Hakim in search of coyotes, mountain lions and whatever crosses our path.

OK, collecting military surplus arms is fun and educational. On March 11 we have our annual BIG gun show in Morris, PA. I have a list of stuff I am looking for; bayonets, slings, parts, ammo and leather/web kit. And, maybe another Hakim, if the price is right.
