Me too!, In fact, It's on its WAY!! (See my topic on on-line layaways). As for you question, I bought them! Yes, I have another Hakim. I got about a year ago, at just over $200, but it was incomplete, and I have been busy all year trying to get missing parts. The guy in New Jersey, that was selling Hakims with missing parts, HAS RUN OUT. Actually, besides buying another Hakim that already has a converted 25 round magazine, I wanted a complete rifle to fabricate a new handguard. I tried converting one from a more readily available Ljungman handguard, but they are just too different. Besides the cheap 8mm, I think a Hakim is more robust than other 8mm semiautomatic rifles. An FN-49 would be even more of a headache to clean with corrosive ammunition, and is WAY more expensive.I'm thinking about a Hakim, because it a) will commemorate my "vacation" to the Middle East, and b) it's scary enough to make the libtards poop their pants.
PS, what the heck is up with Hakim prices now? Where did the $300 Hakims go? Oh, and Hakim means various things in Arabic, such as judge, arbiter, or wise man.
Anyway, before I unwittingly hijack the topic, my "next, next gun", will probably be a milled receiver MAK-90 I found. Not really on my list, but too cheap to pass up. I also have a Rasheed on on-line layaway, so it will be my next x 3, rifle. Even if Barry is elected, it will probably be possible to get a couple in between November and early spring when Barry would get his first chance to ban something. Consequently, I am also considering some "soon to be introduced" Saiga-12 receivers. With a receiver in hand, you would be immune to a shotgun reclassification, that would effectively end the sales of Saiga 12's.
