That great info on the paint colors thanks It sucks that pictures are gone on MRF2’s R-Series thread. I know I personally uploaded a lot of pictures back in the day. When I got into R-Series there was not any information about Galil’s or R rifles. That thread is a great resource.

Yes 3 months😳 I placed an order with member Adipose and we both thought we got ripped off. We just did not take into account that our parts made it on a shipping container on the slow boat to the USA. Then one day it showed up. Very surprised. Ahh you recognize the oval P mark. You studied the...

AK files is a good place to source parts. SA sales can be tricky and expensive. My first order from SA took 3 months to reach me and SA charges a VAT tax which is almost as much as the part. I don’t know what the green paint code was on my R5 gas tube, but it definitely looks like it did duty...

Are you buying your parts directly from SA? I know that the later made parts are made with a painted finish looks like dull metallic black which could be the magnese parkerizing. Most of the parts I collected had been worn and was hard to tell what finish it was. My R5 gas tube was painted green...

Hagar thanks for sharing your picture. I enjoy old pictures like that. Hard to find a good barber in Rhodesia 😁

Ady Howsit man! Long time

Good job! You certainly have the original R5 gas tube! Those are really hard to find. Also correct rear handguard retainer. Besides receiver , trigger set and handguard you look like you are almost there👍

Looks like homemade paratrooper ARM! Or a SAR that has a trusty beer cap opener handy :giggle:

Nice pair of rifles! I was curious about the stock on your 332, is that a notch or cut out on the upper cheek bar that I see? More pictures(y)

Thanks ADi! Jeff Miller actually has the code because he Cerakoted a few for Adipose.

The select fire on .308 Galil’s is different than .556. It does not require a 3rd pin. Crazy Huh! I believe there is a schematic that shows a detailed view of the select fire .308 Galil.

That is correct.

Head separation usually occurs when brass is stuck in chamber. When you clear brass check to see if chamber is not fouled up. A lot of the old Century Arms Golani’s needed a chamber polishing to put them on the right track. Century did not provide chrome or nitride barrels they did the basic...

My apologies, let me clarify. I was referring to R Series rifles that entered into service in SADF, those did not have any scope cuts. The LM series is understood to be a civilian version of the R-Series rifle so I do see where Lytletton Engineering produced scope cut receivers to market for...

Dugabel i would love to see those pictures.

Yes the early R4's being imported from Israel could have very well have a scope cut out, but Vektor/Lytletton never produced a R's with scope cuts for SADF. I could be wrong though, there are many things that I have unanswered in my search for history on R-Series rifle. Keep digging that's...

What did you decide to go with for your solution?

I feel safe answering this one. The R-Series rifles did not come with side scope mount cut. Just with lightning cuts on both side. To this day SADF is having to add handguard rails to accommodate scopes.

I can confirm(Remington owned) TAPCO is no longer in business as Remington Arms shut them down along with Bushmaster. Could not find any Tapco mags at last gun show 2 weeks ago (and that's AR mags not to mention Galil mags which are less out there) . IF you can get them keep them. Tapco made...
