Galil Anyone?

[MrSmitty]

I've been looking at a Galil in a gun store here locally, do any of you fellow INGO'ers have some info about them? They are based on the AK, but from what I understand, they are an improvement of the AK, anybody have one , and do you like(love)it?

I have a friend that has an old one, He loves touching, looking & cleaning it, but he doesn't shoot it much, I know that it used a mag that only fits the GALIL

The Israelis took the Valmet, which is itself an improvement on the original, and added their own touch. They are a bit heavy, but otherwise great rifles.

The question is, is it an original pre-ban Galil or a later made from parts, or still later made by Century??? Original Galils can go over $2000. Current production Century are at or under $700.

Galil

They are great rifles. You looking for 223/308? My buddy has some NIB
223 mags left from when he had his. He is sorry he sold it.

IMO, one of if not the best AK variant... I had a .223 years ago and have always wanted one in .308.

I've shot the Galil/Golani Clone. Very Accurate, Smooth Shooting Rifle

 

[MrSmitty]

It's a.223 post ban, with a bubba paint job, found them on J&G sales for $569, I like what I've read about them. The Israeli's always take something good, and make it great!

I had one and totally regret selling it. Great shooting gun, the cocking knob is a great touch too, allows for right or left hand cocking of the weapon. Its tough to beat a gun that was made by bad ass Hebrews.

The other rifle I really regret selling is an AR180B.

Great gun very good shooter had mine about three years no problems, a little on the heavy side though

The cammo one at Keislers? If it is, the only info I can offer is that the receiver cover is a mofo to get back on. I called looking for an AK buffer (long story) and they said they had one in stock. They didn't, but the guy a spoke to searched in back, then looked for one in several used AK and the Galil.... no luck on the buffer, but +1 for the effort. Anyways, the cover would not go back on after 15 minutes or so of trying.

I have a Golani, it's a great rifle. As others have said, it's a smooth shooter, but on the heavy side. I've got mine equipped with a quad rail, vertical grip, and a red dot. The dust cover is very tight, but you've got to remember that your rear sights are there, so you don't want it as loose as it is on an AK. I did end up taking some sand paper to the front end of mine to make it a little easier to get back together. MSA (Magnolia State Armory) makes a magazine adapter to accept AR-15 mags too!

For that matter Mrsmitty, If you'd like to shoot mine sometime before you buy one, you're more then welcome to. I live in New Albany.

 

[Poser]

A Very simplistic rifle but, I love assualt rifles...

Thanks I appreciate that!, I'm thinking of running up to Henryville later with my son, just got some Mosin food,and there's some dirt up there that needs a killin'

i've read the century Golanis have had trouble with feed ramps/lack there of, its been a while since i read about it, but its probably worth looking into before buying one. That and the fact its a century. i had bad luck with a wasr-2, and my century fal had problems too which required sending it to a gun smith. I considered selling my AR for a golani but after reading about them enough i opted out, i would suggest doing more research and know what to look out for before buying.

My Century Golani works fine. Zero problems. Very solid feeling for a folder.
