To the seller (you know who you are) if you're seeing this, Thank you once again for this beauty.

These weren't taken by me but since it's raining out I can't take pics by the woodpile to keep the theme going. Just excited to show it off so here's some of the rifle that were given to me.

Thats a purdy one, congrats!!!!!

Remember to adjust the gas exhaust valve properly too. Check it before you shoot it. Remember the valve exhausts the extra gas away from the system so the more its open the better.

BTW; The hakim, rasheed and svt40 tokarev all have the gas port adjustment, it also
adjusts how much gas the system gets to operate it so the more closed it is the better. (opposite)

Many years ago there were lots of accidents involing these semi auto's and i think it was due to not having the gas valve adjusted properly. Its more about knowing your gun and how the gas system operates and how to adjust it. Besafe do it right.
