Here is a Galil AR, moderized by the Estonian Army. Enjoy.

[Slingshot]

I'm getting a hernia just looking at that beast.

 

[Galily of the Valley]

No m203 grenade launcher or tactical laser??

((sigh))

 

[Stottman]

Actually didn't feel to bad, weight wise.


Book will be ready in about 3-4 weeks.

Can always use it as a club. Besides, I do like the idea of a combat rifle that can take a licking and keep on ticking.

 

[Mr Folgers]

Too many gizmos for me.

Iron sights or go home!

Galil Ultra is just the FAB/Mako Galil Ultra grip (their new rubberized one is better, same profile), the FAB/Mako polymer handguard, and an AR stock tube w/ a FAB/Mako Stock (possibly a command arms stock here instead).

The 90* right handle -- 24 hour tactical has a line on a clamp-on version/a manufacturer of them and has had them previously, but won't order until he's sure there's enough interest... So if there's interest, might be worth sending John an email...

Optics Planet has the horizontal charging handle, but it's kinda pricey.

The other charging handle solution is the AK bolt carrier.

Ha, well there you go!

 

[sniperdoc]

I still haven't figured out why the vertical charging handle was necessary (seen tons of lefties run AKs, with no problems! ).
However, I fail to see why anyone feels the need to change them. I run my Golani with&without optics, & have never had any reason to change it.
But all us "gun guys" are always looking for something new&cool.

 

[boscoman]

The need came when FAB made a top full rail for the weapon. With the standard cocking handle one would have a hard time getting to it, & when you did you would tear your knuckles up.

I have Yugo M70 bolt carriers in my two 5.56 Galils, including the full auto, and they are great.

Did you have to enlarge the retaining pin hole for the piston head?

PS - Boscoman, those really look amazing.

Forget the accessories; Is that an early MR .308 import?

 

[boscoman]

Yes it is. It was the first Galil I purchased. I also had the barrel shortened to 16".

Looks like a model 331?

 

[boscoman]

According to the serial number you would be correct.
