Just purchased an Egyptian Rasheed Carbine... need info

[Miami_JBT]

I just snagged a Egyptian Rasheed Carbine for $462 out the door. I need some info on how to take it apart and clean. It's in the 62XX range of serial number. I believe only 8k-10k were made and only 5k were imported into the USA by Century Arms.

Pics when I can take and post them.

I have learned one thing in my brief exposure to Hakims and Rasheeds.

WATCH YOUR THUMBS.

That action is like a guillotine and it makes Garand thumb look like nothing.

Had a swed Ljugman awhile back and I can vouch for what SteryAug said about watching your thumb! Do it once and you'll never make that mistake again!

I used to have a Rasheed carbine. Make sure you get a mag with it, because they are next to impossible to find.

...Make sure you get a mag with it, because they are next to impossible to find.

And if you do find them it'll cost you about $100 per.

I watched a dude at the range get his thumb caught and boy it was a show stopper for him...I tried a Hakim about a year later, nice shooter, owner said same thing about mag as mentioned above
