About Factory 54 Rasheed
The Rasheed (or Rashid) is a semi-automatic, direct impingement, gas-operated carbine, derived from the Hakim Rifle and used by the Egyptian military. The Rasheed was designed by the Swedish engineer Erik Eklund, who based it on his previous Hakim Rifle (8×57mm Mauser cartridge), which was itself a slightly modified version of the Swedish Ag m/42 rifle. The carbine resembles the Soviet SKS carbine, particularly in the permanently attached pivoting-blade bayonet, which appears identical to its Russian counterpart. The 12-inch (305 mm) blade bayonet pivots from a mount under the barrel, back into a recessed groove in the forend stock. Only approximately 8000 were ever made and only 2000 were imported in the USA.
