8MM Hakim at the Range Today

Guy at the range was shooting a Hakim with 1941 Turk ammo. That thing was LOUD! We were talking about the charging process and the dust cover and bolt interaction....Looks like it could take a finger if it wanted to. Neat old gun though.

Never had garand thumb but I think I’d pick it over the hakim. It slams with authority. But awesome to shoot
 
It's one of those rifles I will never sell. They are just to cool and fun to shoot. Plus like you said they are loud and a real head Turner just sitting on the table at the range.
 
@Nonliberal had one at DD1.0 that I always wanted. Never really knew why...just wanted it.

But anyways, I only came in this thread to say "Did you come back with your thumb?"

Well, I mean, I guess I came in here to say two things...so yeah.

:rapture:
