Galil's and bodies

A HNP agent can be seen with a Galil SAR at a crime scene where a body was found in a river.

Missing!

So as I was reading the online Honduran tabloids this week I ran across a article that mentioned that the blinged-out gold and diamond encrusted Versace AK-47 has gone MISSING from the evidence locker. This is no surprise to me that eventually this expensive rifle would find its way into the hands of a collector or another cartel leader. Among the weapons seized last year along with this AK-47 was a Israeli Corner-Shot rifle. Here are a couple of pictures of this AK-47

Check this video of a Soldier field stripping his weapon. Of note is when he examines the rear of the bolt and it's the firing pin design that was present on Century Golani's that so many people claim are an issue.

*NOT the design, the metallurgy of the Century firing pins is crap and they seem to fail in short order.

 

[recovering]

RSR, there was a design difference between the bolts on the Golani assembled Galil's and what is normally seen on the Israeli and SA variants.

The Golani was milled out to allow a fatter firing pin with spring in.

Here's a regular bolt as seen in my SAR kit:

Here's what is seen in the video and in Golani's:

Sorry for the crap photos, I've seen some better comparisons on the net. Just can't find them right now.

My IMI Galil has a factory Golani-style spring loaded firing pin. IMI did make those kind because I also bought an IMI spare which is good quality. Century made their own using a crappy design, poor metal, and bad machining.

Century made their own using a crappy design, poor metal, and bad machining.

I think that's a pre-requisite.

 

[RSR]

I understand what you're saying, but I think you're confused about the nature of the complaint.
The Century firing pin is similar to the IMI spring loaded. The firing pin as a whole is not fatter. It has a T area towards the rear of fp w/ a spring between the T and conclusion of where Century stopped milling. Purpose is to avoid chance of slamfire on domestic .223 loads with soft primers vs mil spec hard primers...

HOWEVER, my point was that people aren't saying the design is bad. The manufacture of the Century firing pin, and it breaking in extremely short order due to crappy metal (metallurgy) is the issue. There may be issues w/ how they machined the bolt to fit the FP, but it's secondary to the main issue of firing pins breaking...

Galil Smack Down

In this picture a Galil SAR appears in the picture. A man was taken into custody when he was caught smuggling a large amount of US dollars. They where all in $20's, you would think the guy would switch to $100.00 denominations

Tavor Smackdown

Just thought I would include a Tavor today in todays "Bust's" Catalog. The 2 suspects are being taken in on extortion charges.

Cool. Apparently they have gone from the Galil to the newer X95.

With the EU banning the 500 bill, the US is under pressure to ban the $100... War on cash continues as apparently only criminals have a need for non-digital currency per tptb.

IWI at Work in Honduras

In this picture you can see 2 distinct Israeli weapons at work in Honduras. The Galil ACE 21 with the PMOP (green uniform) and the Tavor TAR-21 (blue and khaki uniform) in service with the FSA (Honduran National Police anti extortion unit). The men being loaded off the truck are being taken in for extortion charges.

IWI at Work in Honduras

In this picture a lone Galil SAR can be seen in a sea of Bulgarian Krinks. Have no fear though IWI/IMI has a firm grip on weapons sales to Honduras. The Krink is only a small portion of weapons compared to the Israeli Galil SAR's, Tavor TAR-21 and Galil ACE 21's in circulation.

A leader of the 18th street gang is taken in by PMOP armed with Galil ACE 21.

You think the leader of a gang could afford to buy some jeans that fit right:silly

Killer Caught

Members of the Honduran National Police escort a man accused of murder to the police station. The HNP agent on left hand can be seen carrying a Galil SAR while performing his duties. There is also another Galil SAR being carried by another agent right behind the suspect (barrel can be seen).
