I’ve seen both M4 and Tavors and once Galil SARs.

Not even close to the real ones since fitting one is so problematic.

How can that be an NFA item when it only have two pins?

I haven’t seen the knuckle part get sloppy but where the stock meets the stock knuckle is where I see movement. The stock is made of aluminum tubing which is a lot softer than steel and that is where wear usually occurs. If you need to replace the spring, Mullicrk made a simple device that I...

I haven’t done any business with them, just found it when I googled “Tapco Galil mag”. As much as I want to check grab some tapco mags myself, I’m behind enemy lines.

I’ve been shooting 5.56 on my AA372 since acquiring it in 1987 with no issues whatsoever. From what I remember, the receivers were marked 223 to meet export regulations as the firearms were supposed to be used for “sporting” purposes. So all export Galil chambers are actually cut for the 556...

I went through my saved pics from the R series pic thread and also found your posting with Ruski’s pic on a shooting competition in SA, and it’s on page 46. I noticed this R4 with wood handguard and I believe it was a very early batch R4 made by IMI. It has a scope mount cut on the left side...

Thank you all, I think I found the answer!

One more question Seth, those first batch with the long wood handguards, did the receiver have lightening cuts on both sides or lightening cut on one side and scope mount cut on the other?

Thank you Seth for the clarification, I know you would come through with the info I need! Those initial deliveries, how were they mark? Israeli markings or SA?

I’m in the process of putting together the parts for an early R4 clone and wanted my parts to be as correct as possible. I tried to research as when was the long wood handguard was incorporated but could not find any info. As I understand it, when SA adopted the R4 in 1975, IMI delivered it...

I believe yours is considered as an IMI receiver import.
