CARL GUSTAF SWEDEN SWEDISH LJUNGMAN AG-42B AG42B AG42 AG 42 1945 SIMILAR TO EGYPTIAN HAKIM HAKEEM

Seller Description For This Firearm

In our opinion the bore is very good condition with strong rifling. Many military and C&R eligible weapons have bores that will show erosion. This is not only due to age but to the fact that corrosive primers were commonly used in ammunition worldwide. For example, the U.S. used corrosive ammunition throughout WWII. The U.S. military did not begin to phase out corrosive-primed ammunition until the 1950s.

Included: 10 Round Magazine

The following Swedish Ljungman AG-42B information is from the Forgotten Weapons web page at forgottenweapons.com/rifles/ljungman/. The site also has detailed videos on the rifle: “The AG-42 (Halvautomatiskt Gevaer 42) Ljungman was Sweden’s first standard issue self-loading rifle...It is a direct gas impingement design, with a gas tube that feeds pressurized gas directly against the bolt carrier...In 1953 the AG42 was upgraded to the AG42B model, which involved a number of small changes. The most distinctive one is the change from serrated patches on the receiver cover to round protrusions, to allow shooters a better grip. In addition, a rubber ejection buffer was added to prevent brass damage, the gas tube was strengthened, the magazine was given a more secure front hook, and a few other minor internal improvements were made. In the early 1950s, Sweden licensed production of a Ljungman variant in Egypt, where it was known as the Hakim. These rifles have a few differences from the Swedish guns, including use of an adjustable gas port and being chambered in 8mm Mauser. Egypt also produced a Ljungman-based carbine in 7.62x39mm, called the Rasheed (or Rashid)”.
