Hakim 8mm Mauser came with modifications

I am thinking that the dealer knew something more about the Hakim than I did. He literally jumped on the Hakim without even a question! So I was then, like heck, I screwed up there but the No4 T is a really nice one too.

Did these come out of Egypt or Israel? I know a pile were captured.

I was told or read somewhere years ago that almost all Hakims imported were Israeli captures.

Traded it off today for a 1944 BSA Shirley No.4 Mk1T! I think I made one hell of a trade and the Enfield will be much easier on brass.

You traded a $500 rifle for a $4000 one? "One hell of a trade", indeed.

The T was minus the original scope sadly but everything else seems to be exact. Hey by the way since this is the Mauser forum this guy I traded the Hakim to, has large collection of original WWII German sniper scopes.
