The Rasheed was designed by the Swedish engineer Erik Eklund, who based it on his previous Hakim Rifle (8 x 57 mm Mauser cartridge), which was itself a slightly modified version of the Swedish AG-42 Ljungman rifle (6.5 x 55 mm Swedish cartridge).
so other than the round it's a Ljungman/Hakim action with a proper charging handle remaove the bayonet and it resembles a Gewehr 43 more than an SKS
i've seen one up close (a nice treat as only ~8000 were ever made) and it's internals are completely different from an SKS
I've shot the hakim before. Do not like it too much, it's better off as a club and that bloody dust cover and bolt is liable to take a piece of your thumb with it. Forget about M1 thumb. The FN49 chambered in 8mm Mauser, that is a nice 8mm semi auto.
I am loving this thread. The guns and rifles that some of the members are posting in this thread are stunning. I don't have a rifle of my own but i intend on getting a 308 and a .22 for spot shooting...
I have to wait till 2011 before i can legally purchase a rifle and ammo . Dam australian laws Got my rifle permit sitting by my side. I do sport shooting at my school with the 22's mainly Also open eyepiece sights not like the proper commando ones which are perfecto and require no skill...
My best score >< 90/100
Keep it up guys
PS Do you have any suggestions on what ear muffs and gloves i should get for my sport shooting. I'm currently lying down while shooting and using a strap to support the rifles but the rifle is slipping in the old school gloves.... Ideas?

Use a sling and cuff and hopefully a rifle with a hand stop. If you have the hand stop and a sling, you shouldn't really need to worry about slipping with the gloves. The gloves I started with were just there for padding, they did not have any rubber to prevent slippage. It's about getting your bones and equipment to support the rifle. If you can relax your muscles, clothes your eyes, take a few breaths, and keep the rifle on target then you've got yourself a good position. Also, get some US NRA targets, they'll help boost your ego compared to the international targets .
Heres a little something I did while at a range with a Marlin .22LR.
I don't own any guns (I'm only 14), and I only get the chance to shoot once or twice a year. Having VERY anti-gun parents, that is pretty much all I can do. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait another four years .
Here are "Before and After" pics.
