DESIRABLE EGYPTIAN RASHEED 7.62X39 BATTLE RIFLE.

Cal. 7.62x39. S# 2848. Bbl. 20 1/2". The Rasheed rifle was the answer to the UAR search for an intermediary sized cartridge & because of the popularity of the Soviet 7.62x39 rd. it made perfect sense. A heavy, machined service rifle w/ a unique locking detachable mag. system. Full length hardwood stock & bayonet extremely similar to the then common SKS. Hooded front sight. Rear tangent sight marked in Arabic. Mechanism safety located at rear of receiver. Sling swivel placement on left side of rifle. Factory threaded muzzle w/ thread protector still present. While the vast majority of markings are Arabic, the left side of the receiver adjacent to the ejection port is engraved “RASHEED 762 MADE IN UAR” in English. MAGS: 1-10 rd. CONDITION: this particular example is as nice as any this consultant has encountered to date. The stock is remarkably free of any major blemishing & the metal finish is complete & consistent. The action is extremely tight & the mag. locks in positively. Bayonet locks tight both in open & closed position. Bore is clean w/ decent rifling. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly when cycled by hand. (21-2505/JZ). MODERN. $400-600.
