I own a 8mm Hakem that was taken from an Egyptian soldier in the 6 Day War by an Israeli. The Egyptian didn’t need it anymore.

In most cases it wasn't so much that the Egyptian didn't *need* it anymore, but rather that he didn't *have* it anymore. I'm sure it was probably Never Fired and Only Dropped Once. The Hakim was a Swedish design, the AG42B Ljungman, rechambered from 6.5 Swedish to 8 mm Mauser. Later they built a scaleld down version, the Rasheed, for 7.62x39. As you can see the result was superficially similar to an SKS. They didn't make all that many of them before switching to the AK type.
