The Rasheed is a copy of the SwedishAG42 LJUNGMAN rifle, in 8mm Mauser caliber. Egypt started producing them as the "Hakim" rifle, also in 8mm Mauser (7.92x57). Later they adapted it to the 7.62x39 cartridge (naming it the "Rasheed") to use the same ammo as their foreign bought AK and SKS rifles. I think they even use SKS type stripper clips.
