There is one at a pawn shop in Dennison Texas on 91 right now. Forgot the name of the shop but it's a small one on the N bound side of 91. They wanted $900 for it.

I picked up one a few years back for 190$ at a local shop. I feel bad for the dude that sold it to them!
It is fun to shoot - not that I have shot it a bunch. These Garrand thumb has nothing on the Hakim Hack! Watch yourself! |

"Robust" (Read: heavy) Tames 8mm recoil well.
Accurate. Pain in the ass to reload from stripper clips. Obnoxious, both in recoil to the side and noise. I like mine. It's a damn fun rifle to shoot. |

While I don't own one, I have shot several, and they always seemed too short on the length of pull to suit me comfortably.... Like 2 inches too short, and I am an average guy myself at 5' 10". Like was said already, be aware of the loading sequence or you will have no thumb, let alone a Garand thumb...That being said, they are pretty accurate and have very little recoil for an 8mm mauser. VERY soft shooting, but man, the muzzle blast is unreal. need 2x the hearing pro of any other rifle I ever shot.

Thing is a freakin club , but fun to shoot. The adjustable gas system is nice also , but yes it is loud and destroys brass.

I have one. It isn't the easiest to get thoroughly clean, and I'm used to mostly running milsurp ammo through my Mausers. For the Hakim I run reloaded commercial ammo.

To help mitigate brass damage you can slip a piece of silicone hose over the charge bar.
The original rubber buffer is looooooong gone on most all of them. |

You can modify some old german MG 25 round mag to fit in them. I should try that for mine.

i owned one and sold it.
by far one of the most difficult rifles to clean if you shoot corrosive ammo. do not shoot surplus through it. if you do it will be a nightmare to clean if you shoot normal non berdan/ non corrosive ammo it will be so much easier. you need a special tool to adjust the gas system. watch your thumb/fingers. it will clip the end of your fingers off. be very very careful super great gun to shoot. no recoil at all. sounds like a cannon going off. bolt is super easy to clean. it will dent your brass. you can get an extended mg25 magazine if you want. it is a waste in my opinion and i had one. make sure it has the rear sight elevator for the iron sight. they can be found online if missing, and a ton of them are missing it. make sure to clean it very well, and use grease on the rails for the bolt, not oil. if you want a super nice 8mm auto loader, they are superb. |

They're enormous. Like 4 feet long, and "tall" too.
They have a muzzle brake on the end and they aren't light. It honestly recoils about like an SKS....that is to say not much at all. They're quite loud due to said muzzle brake. They're remarkably accurate. It will blow gas in your face. It will dent brass, but this can be minimized by putting something on the brass deflector (they originally had something - leather or rubber - around them). The manual of arms is awful and convoluted. They're durable guns and due to the gas system adjustment they'll get along with most ammo just fine. Buy a gas adjustment tool. When you get it, take the gas plug apart and clean it out, and examine it so you understand its function (it's VERY simple and ingenious). Reassemble it with the gas on the LOWEST setting. It probably will never need the gas turned up. All-in-all, a strange an interesting as well as very pleasant to shoot rifle. I really enjoy mine. |

They are surprisingly accurate, soft shooting, and very loud. I think someone here said that they have the ergonomics of a telephone pole - they are right!
