Egyptian State Rasheed Carbine Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The carbine resembles the Soviet SKS carbine, particularly in the permanently-attached pivoting blade bayonet which appears identical to its Russian counterpart. The 12 in. (305 mm) blade bayonet pivots from a mount under the barrel, back into a recessed groove in the forend stock. The carbine features a rear ladder sight, with a "battle" position for short-range fire as well as increments of 100 to 1000 metres, although the latter distance greatly exceeds the 300-metre effective range of the weapon. The semi-automatic mechanism is gas-operated through the direct impingement system.
