An ag42 is a ljungman. It is swedish, and shoots 6.5x55. They are quite nice. Your pics and link aren't working though. At least not for me.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: What is this?
Just reading about this thing. Quite the shooter apparently. I was looking at a 303 and mentioned my interest in Mosins. The guy thought this was a Mosin so long story short, I bought both guns. Anyone want a Sporterized 303?

I'll sell the Enfield for best offer plus shipping if you are from Canada. I'm not interested in the 303 as it is Sporterized.

Re: What is this?
Sweet Ljungman. They are like the Egyptian Hakim rifles. Pretty much the same design, but the Hakims were in 8mm.

You can send it to me labeled as "musical instrument." I am sure our two governments wouldn't mind just this once.

Re: What is this?
Hahaha got to flip this one quick. The wife's already mad about the SVT-40 and it is still in Shipping. I need to keep this purchase on the DL until the guy shows up at my door next week. Hopefully there's a ready market for the 303. It is nice in the pictures.
All this deal is done online so I hope everything is straight up. At least the guy works at the same site as me so I can go throw rocks at his truck if he screws me. Sent from my SM-N920W8 using Tapatalk

Re: What is this?
The Ljungman was developed in Sweden during the war but never put to any use other than target shooting. After the war Sweden sent the tooling to Egypt with technicians to set up a factory for Nasser's government, they modified the rifle into first the Hakim in 8mm and later the Rasheed in 7.62x39. The AG42B had some early corrosion problems with it's gas system, but the B modifications ironed that out for the most part. I find mine to be an accurate rifle, so is the Hakim for that matter, the Rasheed is another story. Mine is prone to breakage and has been retired from the range permanently.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: What is this?
Nice Ljungman. 
Just keep your fingers clear when the bolt snaps shut.

Re: What is this?
Yeah it looks like it would hurt!
As for ammo, what do i need to feed it? Is it true that the guns are very ammo sensitive? 6.5x55 boat tail but how many grains?

If it's like a Hakim, it would do more that hurt. You would be 9 fingered .miner49r wrote:Yeah it looks like it would hurt!

Re: What is this?
I shot a bunch of Prvi Partizan in mine and it shoots it great but she's a hungry girl. 
Re: What is this?
+1. I would try to find surplus to shoot in it, but the PRVI should be a good substitute. Here is a pretty good article on 6.5x55 http://www.shootingtimes.com/ammo/hunti ... sh-mauser/Sonny wrote:I shot a bunch of Prvi Partizan in mine and it shoots it great but she's a hungry girl.

Re: What is this?
Ljungman is a great rifle. I made mistake of selling my first one, but got lucky a couple months later and bought a nIcer one from Dennis Kroh of Empire Arms for less than I sold mine for. Hakim I like too, but Hakim thumb can make Garand Thumb look like a paper cut.

Re: What is this?
Stopped at the range when we got back home and tested out the new acquisitions.
The AG42B runs awesome with 156 grain S&B ammo. The only issue is finding the brass in the snow - she throws it 20 feet at 2 o'clock!
Accuracy at about 75 yards seems to be very good considering this is the first time I fired her using only a sandbag under the forestock. Aimed for the center of the target but I was a wee bit high. Vertical movement is me and my old eyes...
