Joe LaFives #5481 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 So you like the 6.5 x 55 cal. Here is a semi-auto rifle by the Swedes. Easy to shoot since it doesn't kick like a Garand and accurate too. $1300 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Used to have one. Very neat gun ! Direct gas blowback if I recall. I fired the first round from the hip. Blazing hot empty ejected and stuck on my arm ! That is a great cartridge and a hard to find rifle. Horace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostrum Damus SASS #110702 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) I have its cousin, a Hakim, which was made by Egypt after it acquired the production line from Sweden after WWII. A few differences including the longer upper handguard, as well as chambering it for the millions of 7.92x57 cartridges left behind by the Germans. Really fun to shoot. If you're not careful when charging the magazine from a stripper clip, the bite of the bolt makes Garand Thumb look like a tiny nibble! And that's a good price!

Nostrum Damus SASS #110702 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Oh, I almost forgot, I have an AG m/42b too. Brain is foggy today. The Swedish gun is much more pleasant to shoot.
