I filed a form 1 by mail just before the 41P law took effect. TooK 9 months. GARY

Someone I know recently took some radio equipment from Canada to the USA. Some of it was encryption loaders. Again perfectly legal to go back & forth between the USA, & Canada, although I wouldn't be sending this stuff to the middle east. But because he blabbed about it on the internet before he...

If that were mine, I wouldn't be posting photos of it on the internet. The ATF can do anything they want. We can all speculate that it's OK, but who really knows. To the OP, good luck. GARY

While I don't know how to post the pics here, I can e-mail them, or text them to your phone, & you could print them here.

I have a Century Galil [no word Golani on the gun] that has no writing on the sides of the receiver except for some Hebrew characters. The only writing with the ser # is on the bottom of the receiver between the mag opening, & the barrel. When I purchased the gun at the LGS, they had to remove...

Had an early Orf/Century gun. Did not say Golani. It shot great, but the left lug did not contact the bolt. This was the problem with that receiver. My gunsmith told me eventually the headspace would disappear quickly because the right lug was taking a beating. I sold the gun while it still...

This is a known problem with these guns, as the ORF receiver was made incorrectly. GARY

The receivers were incorrectly made. Unless the bolt is corrected [ground] only the right lug makes contact with the receiver. This puts twice the stress on the right lug, as the left lug does nothing, instead of both lugs sharing the load. By grinding the right lug on the bolt, both lugs on the...

Century didn't screw up the Golani. ORF did with their out of spec receiver. I had an early one, & while it was trouble free, it was rapidly losing head space, & eventually would have required major work. This was all due to the lug problem described above. I sold it, but bought another Orf...

Mak's are nice. I own 1 stamped, & 2 milled. Enjoy. GARY

Right here at gun shows in South Florida where I work for a licensed FFL. We do 2-3 shows a month. Remember, new Yugo AK's are retailing for $450. GARY

Funny, I just read this post & said to myself $900 for a MAK is WAY too high. But I looked at the date, & realized it was a year ago when people were paying INSANE prices for anything they could get. Now that prices have dropped back to normal, people are coming to the gunshows to try & sell us...

Not in my book. I had an early Galil marked gun. It shot fine, but was rapidly losing headspace because the left lug on the bolt was not contacting the left lug on the receiver. It was also very fussy about only accepting real Israeli mags. SA mags would not fit. I sold it for a good price, &...

I've had 2 Golani's since they came out. Both ORF receiver guns. The 1st one was slightly difficult to install the cover, but after a few times, it was no more difficult than an AK. I sold that gun because of the vanishing head space due to the left lug not making contact. My 2nd Golani which...

While this not a direct answer to your question, I installed an AK gas piston on a Galil carrier, & have used it on several of my AK's w/o a problem. GARY

Either an ORF assembled, or an early Century assembled Galil clone both use the out of spec ORF receiver, & $400 is the most I'd pay, as you'll need another $500-$600 to spend to make the gun right. There are plenty of threads in the Galil forum here going back years describing the problems...

A few years ago, before Sons of Guns was on tv, I bought a bolt from Will @ Red Jacket. He even threw in an original FCG. Turns out I didn't need the bolt, so I sold it a year ago. GARY

From what I gather, Todd had the best intentions with all the projects he undertook. Sadly, he had too many irons in the fire at the same time, so nothing was ever perfect. But it seems, the last batch of receivers were the best, while not perfect. The major problem was the lugs on the receiver...

I had an early version. While it worked well, it was rapidly losing headspace due to the lug problem in the ORF receivers. I sold it while still able to get good money. I later bought a newer version. I had a smith check out the gun, including the lug problem. This gun had no problems, & has...

That's my thinking. The bolts must be surplus as they look too nice to have had Century actually modify them. GARY
