It is looking more and more like I am going to have to modify a DSA Para stock for my build. Its really just the receiver side knuckle that has to be changed.. http://www.dsarms.com/FAL-PARA-Trooper-Folding-Stock---090PSTK-A/productinfo/090PSTK-A/

I believe all it takes is to put in a regular follower ? I got several 12 rounders to convert to 5 rounders to be "hunting legal". Mine already came with the right follower.

I am sure that special forces in several countries had 7.62x39 versions of weapons made that could use AK mags and soviet bloc ammo. They confuse the enemy, because they sound like their own guns and the ammo is not traceable. It is also easy to "acquire" ammo when behind enemy lines.

It was Townsend Whelen who said: "Only accurate rifles are interesting". Today, many people buy rifles that are not very accurate, but the more accurate the weapons you own, the more you might actually use them. My Golani was not very accurate, particularly with me as the operator and iron...

I have owned an AR-15 and I don't like the ergonomics. The SCAR rifles solve most of the issues but are really expensive. Since this is probably the last Galil I will ever own, I'm going to "improve" it a little in the accuracy dept. I am turning in the paperwork today to register it as a...

Here is someone else's take on the subject So the thought is as follow: Make a 1/4" plate that conforms to the receiver profile bottom, sides and the gas tube profile on top. Bore to allow bolt carrier to pass through. Weld/braze the gas tube to the plate to provide the correct interface...

Deleted since there are better ideas out there. Using an AR-15 piston kit would really require changes to the bolt carrier that are pretty unacceptable. The Red Jacket approach with a shortened gas piston/gas tube connected with a small piece of tubing seems the better way to go. Looking...

Thank you for that picture. Sad that they are probably very rare. I'm skipping conventional iron sights altogether in favor of optics, since I can't see jack without them. So the gas block I am after will be more AK like. A smoother front end will be less likely to snag on things. I...

Actually, I think I know the answer to the centerline distance Galil to AK, since the bolt carrier works in both, so it must be the same. And I was going to use an AK bolt carrier anyhow so I have a right side (not bent up) charging handle. So that would mean that the AK gas block must have...

If my memory serves me correctly, the SADF also had spring loaded firing pins. I distinctly recall the enlarged head on the firing pin, and the pin most certainly didn't float, although we never took down any of our bolts because they never needed it.

Free float barrel/handguard on a Galil Can anyone provide info about the difference between a 308 gas block and the 223 gas block ? Is the barrel diameter larger on the 308 ? Anyone know any sources for 308 Gas blocks ? I am sticking to 223 with my build, but my intention is to make the...

Dee, of course they could do that, but it would not be a "run", it would just be a regular custom order which might have a longer lead time. An ordinary custom barrel could take several months to get to the end of the line that is waiting on being turned. Some are popular calibers like the 223...

If you guys had any idea how much theft there is in the postal service in ZA you would never even consider sending anything via that route. There were continuous scandals being published where postal employees who were supposed to deliver mail would in fact go to a collective area, dump out...

It looks like they have multiples of the stocks. I bought a stock and knuckle and it seems there are more stocks left over. I wouldn't know where else I would be finding one at this point. Last one I bought new was $125 complete, should have bought a couple of spares at that time, but who...

Thanks for the tip guys...
