This real heavyweight was built by Egypt using
tooling originally producing the Swedish Ljungman
and only saw active service it is believed in the
Egyptian army around the time of the Suez crisis.
It utilizes the Mauser 8mm round (8x57) with 192
grain bullet.
Care must be taken with ammo choice as hot Turk
ammo can be too much for it, even with the gas port
orifice kept well small.
A limited quantity of carbine sized versions were
made and christened the Rashid - using 7.62x39 ammo. |
