1 of only approximately 8,000 Rasheed carbines manufactured by the Egyptian Ministry of Military Production in 1960. The left side of the receiver bears Farsi markings with "RASHEED 762 MADE IN U A R". Underside of the barrel bears a Century Arms International import stamp. Metal components are blued, while the stock and handguard are comprised of solid wood. CONDITION: Very good overall, with metal components retaining the vast majority of their arsenal blue finish, exhibiting some spots of mild wear showing through to brown patina, and a few minor spots of light surface oxidation that are both mainly concentrated on the trigger guard and buttplate. Mirror bore, exhibiting sharp and well-defined rifling throughout. The stock exhibits some scattered dings, marks, and impressions from storage and handling but is otherwise fine. A nice example of a desirable Egyptian Rasheed carbine.
