    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    The installation instructional video. Total about 3 hours of labor for myself for installation, obviously spread out over several activities.

    WTB IMI GALATZ SCOPE MOUNT

    In SA our LM rifles never had the cutout for the scope mount. So ours are installed directly onto the gas tube and dust cover. They sell those parts here locally as well, so we can have a set made for you and no export restrictions. Going jackal hunting with mine in a few weeks.

    Building a .308 Galil on an ORF receiver

    It's the overriding factor of logistics that created this scenario. Why create a different part if you can use an existing one? Production lines are expensive to tool up for. But to answer the questions I can: Do the springs really not have to be changed out? 223 to 308? Nope. Uses the same...

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    After completing a larger order last week, I thought it appropriate to give a bit more detail on the installation process. I'm going to post a video in the near future, but here's a few pictures explaining the process. First we drill holes into the gas tube rail. This is so all welds are in the...

    My 9MM SAR

    Ah, my bad. Only now spotted the commentary making references to the Tavor. A 9mm Galil would be pretty cool though right?

    My 9MM SAR

    Hold up - there's a 9mm conversion kit for the Galil SAR? Or are you referring to another rifle? I'm guessing it's the latter due to the barrel size not being changeable, but if there's any 9mm Galil out there, please send the info.

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    Reapplied the parkerizing on a few clients' sets before shipping them back. Will post a few pictures as soon as the rails have been fitted. PS - The carrier with the oversized charging handle; that was as received from a client. I did not make that modification. A little big for my taste.

    Size of rear night sight pin?

    For future reference - I found out that it is a 1.5mm pin.

    Size of rear night sight pin?

    Good evening, I'm trying to remove the rear night sight on a dust cover to prepare for parkerizing. The flip sight I carefully removed, but I have no idea what the pin size is for the rear night sight. I need to obviously purchase the correct one, so if anyone knows the size and type required...

    If anyone's purchasing multiple sets at a time, I'm happy to discuss it offline.

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    And here's a client's set that's been installed. The front rail's been cut at an angle and the welds made internally as per his request. Admittedly this looks much cooler than I expected, so I'll recommend this for other installations going forward:

    5.45 Galil build

    I'm sure anyone here would recommend Jeff Miller for this project. Option B would be to use an AK74 receiver stamping with my trunnion design, but that would be quite a bit more expensive.

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    Here's the video as promised: I've made arrangements with a local entity, so I'm able to ship it at $80 a unit. The shipping is still $35 a unit via DHL, as I don't have a contract as an exporter with them yet. More than happy to make use of another courier company if you'd like to arrange...

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    Ok, so I went shooting last weekend and everything went well. Only problem I experienced was zeroing a Nikko Sterling scope that was fitted to an FX airgun previously, using a faulty bore sight. I also need to add that I only realized I left my magazine bag in the safe when I started unpacking...

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    Apologies for the lack of feedback - my gunsmith's been on leave and until he returns I've had to use a non-gunsmith workshop to install the components. I had to center the rail myself, hot glue it into place, put the bracket into a vise, lock it into place with a large drill bit and took it to...

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    Guys, if you wish to buy a set, please DM me. I can accept payment via Paypal and will do it under G&S, so you have that added protection. Shipment only via DHL, as they are the fastest.

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    My personal set is currently being fitted to a replacement gas tube - below is the old prototype set, showing what the brackets look like fitted to the rifle: Below is a side view of the rail fitment to the gas tube. Here you see the centering tool in action. Very simply it just places the...

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    Sure - the front rail is the critical part, so you can leave out the dust cover rail for the time being. I would just suggest you place a small grub screw in the gas tube rail, to protect the threads, for in case you change your mind in the future.

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    I bent the handle on my rifle at the time when we fitted the prototype set. It wasn't done properly and it very quickly snapped off. I had it fixed afterwards. It is a solution, but fitting an off the shelf bolt carrier is vastly better than risking breaking a modified one in the field...

    Full length picatinny rail for Galil/R

    Here is a different angle that shows how the rail fits into the brackets. The angled washers are also clear. This should also be an indication to not run the kit with the standard Galil bolt carrier, as it will likely strike one of the washers.
