Description
This is a extremely rare and in excellent condition Egyptian AK from the Maadi factory or otherwise known as factory 54. This is an exact copy of the Russian AKM built with Russian Equipment and gunsmiths trained by Russian Engineers. Russia built the factory and taught the Egyptians how to make the AKM in the 1950s and stayed until President Nasser died and President Anwar Sadat took power in 1972 siding with the Americans. The American market will likely never see these imports ever again and with the exception of buying a Russian AKM this is the closest one will ever get to the Russian masterpiece. When first introduced to the American market these were considered the the Rolls-Royce of AKs and often tripled the price of the venerable Norinco type 56. The only difference in this model and the Russian AKM is the beautiful wooden thumbhole stock that you see in the pictures installed due to importation laws of the time.
Egyptian Maadi AK 7.62×39 Mfg. Maadi Company, Egypt With laminated wood thumbhole stock and 5rd magazine, no bayonet lug, no flash hider.
