CNC Warrior Galil Gas Blocks possibility

[Mr Folgers]

He got the stock pin, and said it was within .0040" of the pin they already sell, which I thought was weird, as the only stock pins I see on their site, which they call the Micro Galil Buttstock Axle Pin, and is only 1.350" long. They are very different from the regular stock pins I have for the Galil AR/ARM. I guess the Micro Galil uses a different stock pivot pin.

There is something wrong here.
I sent a brand new AR/ARM/SAR stock knuckle pin as requested, and they measure roughly 2" in length. It is as you describe with the notch for the C-clip. I've sold hundreds of them over the years as well as all the other pins, so believe me I know I sent the correct one and it is not 1.250" as is the case with the Micro pin.

You'd best get some clarification from them.

Hello friends
I've received notice from CNC-warrior concerning the reproduction of Stock-Knuckle pins;
The sample that was sent (by me) was found to be dimensionally similar to another stock-pin that has already been produced by Denny. This reproduced pin is not listed on the website, however a sample was sent to me in the return of my original pin. They were noted by Denny as being slightly longer, and comparing them I have found this to be true; the shaft of the pin is about 1mm longer than the original Galil pin. However, the shoulder on both pins are identical as are the grooves for the C-clip.

This pin was test-fitted into an SA knuckle and compared to an original. My findings are that the reproduced pin sits slightly higher where the C-clip protrudes, but should have no effect on function of the stock mechanism in either position, and as such this pin should be fully suitable for any Galil stock assembly.

I will be contacting CNC-warrior with my findings, at which point I would expect them to list the pins on their website.
For reference, the pin in part # 24572.

Thanks so very much Mr Folgers!!
That's going to be a great help for a lot of us who'd rather have a new pin, than one of the worn pins currently available elsewhere.
That's a real relief, that "new" stock pins are now going to be available!!!

I'm also working on getting CNC-Warrior to start producing some Galil bullet guides. I don't suppose you might have a "new" example, that you'd be willing to send in for CAD modeling, do you!
The only one's I'm seeing, are in "good" condition, with significant wear, not nearly "new".

Just wondering if there's any updates on the gas blocks? Thanks Joe

 

[AresShrike]

Nothing yet. I hate to be a pain in the butt, but, I'll give them a call Monday, if I remember.
I don't yet see those folding stock pivot pins on their site either.
When I last spoke to them, on 9/11, they suggested that the gas blocks would be in production, probably within a few months, maybe by December.
I'm personally, really looking forward to it, as those gas blocks seem to be the single hardest to find "major", new condition, part.

 

[RSR]

With CNCW, as busy as they are, I'd add an add'l quarter (3 months) on to every ideal timeline just to be safe...

 

[Mr Folgers]

Regarding the pins;

I sent them a confirmation letter that they are within spec (they asked that I check fitting before they list) approximately 2 weeks ago, so the pins should be listed soon.

You can also email them... the part number is # 24572. I'm sure they could provide some for those needing them.

 

[stealth 2]

Just wondering are you guys (CNC/W) going to take a shot at these?

Please say yes.

Any progress on the sniper blocks or other ?

 

[AresShrike]

The last I spoke to them, they said they were going ahead with production in a few months.
I'll call again in December some time.
I'm not sure if they're going to do the sniper blocks.
I'm pretty sure they were sent one, and had CAD modeled it, but I think they'll do the AR/ARM blocks first.

There is some concern as to whether or not they are going to continue to produce the Galil receivers.
I'm pretty sure they will, but if you ask them, it's pretty uncertain.

(I just double checked, and they did receive all three AR/ARM/Sniper gas blocks, and modeled all three)

stealth 2,
Brother, as for the Galil Sniper gas block, that may or may not ever come from CNC-W.
I think you'd be better off having Jeff, or someone else who's capable, cut the barrel section off a regular gas block, and reweld a tube steel section back on, in the diameter you choose for your heavy barrel build.
That truly is a good solution, and if every you get a Sniper block, you could replace it, though with the modified block, you could choose any barrel diameter (within reason), and Jeff would do an excellent job on the custom gas block, you probably would never want to replace it.
Personally, I don't think CNC-W will ever do the Sniper blocks, though I really hope I'm wrong.

 

[stealth 2]

Yes I hope you are wrong.

I am capable of doing my own grafted gas block,but prefer to have the original or good reproduction.

I do believe there is a market for these items. I'm sure it would be appreciated should they manufacture them.

 

[AresShrike]

I think there's a good market for them too.
I'll have to push them a little harder.
You should too, we all should.
As I said, as for that CNC-W produced Sniper gas block, I hope I'm wrong too.
We are trying though, brother, we are trying.

 

[AresShrike]

Just spoke with CNC Warrior.
They were waiting on a new CNC machine, and now they just got it, so they will now start on the Galil gas blocks.

I was also fortunate to get two new Galil 5.56 rifle receivers, without the scope cutouts, so Jeff could do lightening cuts on these too!
I asked if I could inform Uzi Talk about how many are available, but they want to contact everyone on their list first.
I think there will be a few left over from this run.
I don't know for sure if they'll do any more batches, but I'm pretty darn sure they will, considering how many good, to excellent kits there are available right now.
Happy New Year, and many more, to all my Galil tote'n brothers out there!
God Bless Ya'll!!!

 

[RSR]

Great news. Thanks Ares.

 

[stealth 2]

Good news indeed.

Happy New year to all!!

Will these gas blocks have the sling rings on them?

 

[AresShrike]

Denny was a bit apprehensive about having to weld on the sling loops after the machining was done, as their "not welders over there".
So I'm not too sure about that. I'd say I don't think so.

 

[stealth 2]

Sniper blocks please!

 

[tat2steve]

Any current news ?

 

[AresShrike]

I just called for an update on the gas blocks (and to do a Galil 5.56 receiver pre-order)
As for the gas blocks - They've been "unable to start them" right now, and will "let me know" when they do.
The Galil receivers (5.56) are not yet available for pre-order, probably in a few more days, they'll do the pre-order, online, from their website.

stealth 2, They do have the CNC model, of the sniper block, but, I sure wouldn't "hold my breath" on those sniper blocks to actually materialize, as the regular AR/ARM blocks are still probably a few months off, and they'll see how those sell first, before doing a run of Sniper blocks. They never seemed to me, to be too "Gung Ho!", about doing the Sniper blocks, when I spoke to them, though they did "model" it, just in case.
Personally, I don't think they'll ever do the Sniper blocks, and I'm having Jeff make me up a heavy barreled .308 gas block for a Galil "quasi" Sniper build, because I personally don't see any Sniper blocks ever becoming available.
That "Jeff Miller" heavy barreled gas block won't be a Sniper clone. It'll probably be a regular gas block, cut off at the barrel tube, and having a bigger steel tube welded to the upper section, maybe with ARM lugs welded in place.

 

[stealth 2]

Thanks for the update!

I had shared my pictures and thoughts with Jeff months ago about the grafting solution. I had done one already but have been hopeful l would find an original sometime soon. A CnC block would be welcomed and I'm sure they would sell , pre order could be an option.

I'll post a few pictures of a grafted block when I find the time.

I'm still looking for the offset scope mount and Galatz gas block.
Cash or trade.
