Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Following WWII, Egypt was left with massive numbers of weapons left behind. Stockpiles of 8mm Mauser ammunition was collected by the Egyptian government, so they reengineered the Swedish Ag m/42 to be used as their service rifle up until 1961. During this time, the Soviet Union had taken an interest in Egypt and decided to offer military aid in the form of standardized and effective weaponry.
The Soviet Union trained Egyptians in the proper manufacture of the AKM and imported materials to assist the Egyptian government. Build in Factory 54 in Cairo, the Maadi Company for Engineering Industries used genuine AKM components, paired with laminated wood furniture, to the exact specifications of the stamped AKMs built in the Soviet Union. Nearly every component was a perfect match, down to the placement of steel rivets and the palm swells in the front handguards. The official designation of the rifle was the ARM, or Automatic Rifle MISR.
When the Soviet Union decided to back away from Egypt, they took their assistance of the Maadi rifle with them. They did, however, leave behind their tools and some very skilled Egyptian engineers who still had permission to continue production of the Maadi rifles. AKs built in Factory 54 are often considered to be among the best AKMs in the world and are well known for their quality barrels. Depending on the details of how and when your Maadi was imported, it may still hold most of that quality today.
