The Maadi rifle was produced in Egypt under license from the USSR during the Cold War. Manufactured using Russian machinery and under the supervision of Soviet technicians as part of a military aid package to Egypt. The Maadi was the primary battle rifle of Egyptian forces during the Middle Eastern wars of the 1960s and 1970s. When civilian versions called the ARM or MISR were imported into the U.S. during the 1980s by Steyr, they were and still are the closest collectors could get to a Soviet AKM in a factory-built rifle. Maadi rifles were subsequently used in many films of this period such as Red Dawn, to stand in for Soviet AKM's. This Maadi is Post Ban MISR, imported by "C.A.I. ST ALB VT", Century Arms operated at that location up to 1995 for reference of when this rifle was imported. We were unable to find a datestamp or SN codex for the manufacture date of the item. Like other imported AKs from this period, the ATF required more and more "neutering" of the banned features such as many requiring thumbhole stocks, removal of the bayonet lug, and muzzle threading until importation was stopped altogether.
