I love my Ljungman!
My first rifle of all. Bought it at a local auction using my Dad's FAC. No one knew what it was (Neither did I at 14), so it went cheap. I carried it for deer my first few seasons, and still have it.
Possibly the most accurate semi 'surp made. Can be loaded (to a legal 5) very quickly with strippers.
As suggested, brass in mangled and flung far. Almost no recoil, but seriously LOUD. If you're not cautious a finger or thumb could get a surprise. That's not happened to me in almost 30 years of owning mine. The Bayonet is standard between the Ljungmans and the 96.
"I don't want to hijack guy's but I need some help. I was looking at a Ljungmann ag 42 online, it seem in great shape , non sporterize but what stomp me is that its advertise as a 8mm mauser. It doesn't seem to be a Hakim as it does not have a post front sight muzzle brake. Are there people who could have changed thr caliber of that gun or would it be a misprint? Thank you very much. "
The tooling for the Ljungman was sold to Egypt, and they churned out the Hakim with it. The Hakim is very similar except it was chambered in 8mm MAuser and has an adjustable gas port (a fine thing).
I also owned a Rashid for a short while. Another variation but chambered in 7.62x39, and an attached folding bayonet (mine was missing it's bayo), and an actual charging handle.
