FWIW, that pic the camo appears to be the Vietnam coast guard camo: http://camopedia.org/index.php?title=Vietnam

Here is a Veitnamese training video with a Galatz

Good video, thanks for sharing.

In the picture of the troops on the range photo. Does it look like the Galil Sniper has a small rail mounted to the rear left side of the hand guard?




adipose, I've sent you a PM.

Here's the scope in that pic:

And first I've seen that furniture combo as well...

EDIT: From 1:30 has action footage of similar galil sniper, but sans that scope. Not sure of that camo either. Reminds me of the Italian Vegetato, Desert version...

looking for a little info.

can anybody give me a measurement for the length of a Hadar or modern Galatz snipers charging handle? I'm turning one up on the lathe and have no reference other than pictures.
THANKS!

Would love to get my hands on that scope. I have to wonder if it will ever be released here in the States & if so what the price would be.

Not trying to steal the thread, just had to say.

The measurement from my IMI Hadar is 1.184 in total length and a diameter of the straight barrel portion of .476

Adipose,

Thanks for the info.


This project is still alive just been very busy with other stuff.

Still looking for the gas block/front end and the offset scope mount.

Also looking for the current newer models dust cover that has the low profile flip up sight and the round tab left safety lever.

Any help is appreciated.

Stealth2, Question for you? Are you using a inverse safety selector for your sniper build( is that what the original Galil Sniper and SR-99 come with)? I purchased a CNCW .308 receiver and it has the smaller hole for the left side thumb selector. The thumb selector I have is for the larger hole on the receiver. Thanks Lou

The sniper rifles use the inverse thumb safety and single lug selector lever. It pivots on a pin that passes through a hole in the top of the nut that secures the pistol grip screw.

Wolfmanreid, thanks for the info. Do you know if the Sniper uses a single hook or double hook trigger and hammer assembly?

Hi Lou

I'm using the CNC REC. for my builds.

I don't have a factory rifle for reference, I will be using the inverse style safety.

I'm looking for the left side round tab style lever like the one seen on the rifle shown in post #50.
If anyone has one they could spare please contact me. I'm not sure but I think this style may have been used in the micro rifle.

Stealth 2 that is the one in same used on the Micro Galil. Should fit right up. They went with that style on the newer SR-99 Sniper. I will see if I have a Micro Inverse selector with the larger button. Maybe you will trade it for your standard reverse selector thumb safety. I will pm you with my results. Lou

Stealth 2 one more thing what FCG are you using for your build? Double or single hook trigger and hammer?

 

[stealth 2]

The receiver is cut for double hook. I have the tapco G2 on hand so will try that.

I've had interest In the ALG triggers, Has anyone tried these in a Galil?

 

[wolfmanreid]

I would recommend picking up a copy of the either the newer or older model Galil Sniper manuals. Both have detailed parts blowout diagrams. I couldn't have gotten everything for my build without them.
