Yes. I replaced the long-dead flip-up night sights with meprolight’s. (Of course, I kept the originals). Pretty easy installation as I recall.

I picked up an almost mint SADF cotton sling, the 1.5" wide variety. I had picked up an original, wider one, but it did not suit my needs. I also swapped out my front hood and post to a much larger SADF version. Much improved...

Jeff is a great guy. Unfortunately, I've been waiting 10 months for him to add a picatinny rail to the surplus AR gas tube I sent him, or if he gets a new aluminum one CNC'd from scratch. In both cases, supply chain issues have been the roadblock from day 1.

Agreed on the KNS adjustable gas piston. I added and adjusted one for my AA Galil and it now throws reusuable brass like 6-10' instead of sometimes mangled brasss 30-40'.

This. I have one (which I got almost new for an almost-steal) on my Sig M400 and folks are amazed at the quality of the glass and how easy it is to get hits at 100+ yards.

Mine is an Action Arms IMI import, so it is labeled .223 REM and definitely has 1:12 twist rate.

Thanks for all the responses. These boards usually are pretty quiet. My AA is clearly marked .223 REM. At this point, I've got about 1800 rounds of 223 and 1600 5.56 (for my Sig M400), so I'm good to go either way. I'll check the chamber sizing per gekishibu86.

I've have received equally strong YES and HELL NO to shooting 5.56 out of a Galil. My new to me Galil is an Action Arms pre-ban import circa 1986 or so with a 1-in-12 twist and stamped .223. Jeff Miller of Tenngalil fame says, GO FOR IT, others also knowledgeable say NOPE, could be risky given...

I snagged two more new in bag 35-round Orlite mags for a decent price. That makes 4 that I have. I'm set, perhaps if I ever see some reasonably priced SADF mags or the highly illusive steel 20-rounders, I'll pick up. But I'm pretty much set with 7 steel 35-rounders (4 Orlite) and 4 of the steel...

Sort of.

Very nice looking Galil Bret...and I'm jealous of your 20-round steel mag!

Here you go. This is before I swapped out the sight hood and night sights and installed the KNS adjustable gas piston.

Hmnn. Not too bad. I took my time and it took maybe 2 hours total. I could do it all over again in 60 minutes. Figuring out how to replace the back flip up night sights was puzzling as I had nothing to go on. Hint, depress the front of the plunger carefully with a broad-tipped screw driver and...

Nope. It is an early Action Arms import. Non-sporterized.

More upgrades. Replaced the standard IMI sight hood and thick front post with a South African R4 enlarged hood and dropped in a KNS Precision front post. While I was there I replaced the long-dead front and back flip-up night sights with new ones from Meprolight. Pretty pleased with how it came...

Somebody on GB is selling 7 new in bag Orlite mags for $250 (so about $40 each with shipping back to folks). Oh, and that's presuming the min bid wins in 6+ days. Otherwise, no deal. Anyone want to get in on this? I could purchase the group, but I do not need 7. I'd like say 2-3 more tops. If...

I don't *need* them, but you never know, they might show up someday. Took like 6 weeks of looking for the Orlites to show up on GB... Thanks

Ding! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Excellent-looking 20-round Galil steel magazine. If you or anyone knows where to find a few, please let me know...

You are killing me Ugh! Dang, I might need to get 2. UPDATE: they are now out of stock, which is fine as I really don't need more 35-round magazine (delivered from temptation)... I like the 35-rounders, but for bench shooting (which I do a lot of), the 35-rounders just take up a lot of space. I...

Thanks boscoman. I just loaded one up to 34 rounds with zero issues. I did not want to force the last bullet given polymer feed lips. But it was a piece of cake. I can get two more, but given the cost, and given I've not yet shot with them, I'll hold off. I've got 7 metal 35-rounders and 4 11-...
