This is NOT a SKS - What is it?
This video identifies a firearm as the Rasheed carbine, an Egyptian Cold War rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm. It highlights key differences from the SKS, such as its direct gas impingement operating system and non-reciprocating charging handle. The Rasheed's lineage is traced from the Hakim rifle, which itself was derived from the Mauser Gewehr 1898.
