I recently picked one up at my LGS. Anyone here have one of these? Anyone missing fingers?

I have 2 that I have owned for 30+ years and still have all my fingers. Yes the are worse than the M1 thumb if your fingers get caught.

Have had a couple, but only retain the first one. It's sort of a high polish version, apparently done before the serial number was applied. Can only guess it was for the palace guard or something.

Pictures?

I have the Swedish 6.5 Ag42. no problems. Then I found the Egyptian Hakim in 8 Mauser. Same rifle, but with a very efficient muzzle brake. These rifles use the French tilting bolt and direct impingement gas system. Very well made. LOW recoil. gary.

Have a few of them, Very well engineered and they are very much under appreciated.

Easy to use once you know how!
