Andy, I've owned two Egyptian Hakim's in 8mm (7.92x57mm). I agree with your assessment. However, the Hakim (Egypt's AG42b Clone) had a muzzle brake that was deafening.
I kept one Hakim just to run people off the range. If another shooter was being inconsiderate (wanting to walk down range after every shot, etc). I'd get the Hakim out and would empty the 10rd mag. By the last round, the offender was usually packing his kit.
ETA: Egyptian Thumb is no fun either. It took a minute to figure out the safety lever situation. At first, I kept getting the bolt locked into the dust cover.
