Hakims are going for about 5-600$ that i have seen, out of the few that i have seen.

Im getting the Hakim and 1000 rounds of 8mm, for my PSL and just the stuff it came with.

Edit for sprouts post:
The Yugo ammoIim getting is supposed to be good for these rifles. Ive look at a lot of webpages over the last few days.

Ill have another PSL someday, just not the one i have. LOL

His was BEFORE you got the rifle...Now you have it ! (NOW...) LOL

Congrats cr, I'm glad to hear you have something you enjoy shooting. Don't write off the PSL entirely though because they are sweet rifles when properly built. You should shoot mine sometime.

Hey now, all I have to do is take out the trash, price new stock, wear a ball gag, and sleep in a wooden box in the store room on weekends. Oh and cr, you may want to build up your tolerance to electrical charges because it's the only way to sustain the jolts incurred from the cattle prod.

I think you have been spending too much time around those MN guys. Next you'll be telling us all how well cosmoline goes with toast.

Actually I prefer it on pancakes but to each his own. The Mistress has just informed me it's time to crawl back into the box, gotta go.

There's one Hakim that has been in and out of the local gun shop four times in two years. No optics, just iron sights. The thing that causes the buyers to trade it in on something else seems to be a combination of ammunition issues as discussed above; and the fact it's nearly impossible to find spare magazines for the Hakim in the United States. I've never seen one online for less than $100, and even at that price they seem to be rare as hen's teeth. I've never seen a spare Hakim magazine in the real world. Having to stop and reload the magazine does put a crimp in your shooting.

cr107 · 10-17-2009, 10:40 PM

If the shop wasnt 30 miles from my house i would try that. but ill hold out for now, im only 19

it was just nice to be able to hold one and actually see it. it is a lot lighter than i expected.

The ammo issue is just understanding the adj gas system. i use '50s Yugo with no problems.

and mags can be had at Hakim 10 Round 8mm (7.92mm) Magazine*|*e-GunParts.com yes its a repro and im going to order one to see how it works eventually, to keep the original in good shape.

and, it can be reloaded with clips from the top, just be sure to put it on safe. more info Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle (2006) - Surplusrifle.com
