Misr 7.62 mm assault rifle (Egypt)

Development
The 7.62 mm Misr assault rifle, a direct copy of the Soviet AKM, is manufactured at Factory 54 in Egypt for the Egyptian armed forces. It is also offered for export sales and has reportedly been sold in significant numbers. Also produced is a self-loading-only version, known as the ARM, which has been sold on the sporting-arms market but which would be suitable for many police and paramilitary applications.

Description
The 7.62 mm Misr assault rifle is virtually identical to the Soviet AKM in all respects, so reference can be made to the AKM entry under Russian Federation for operating and other details. The standard Misr rifle has a wood forward handguard and butt-stock, while the pistol grip and the upper handguard are plastic. A version with a side-folding butt has a rudimentary but light single-strut metal stock. Night sights can be fitted to the Misr.
