Any other OG Galil Peeps here?

[Del-Tonic]

Here's my Galil ARM bulit by Hillbilly firearms on a tort tort receiver via an Apex gun parts kit. highly recommend you snag an ARM kit now while they are cheap (sub $600 which is what I paid for mine).

I know these aren't as popular but hey I just think its neat

Here's photos from last years Red Oktober and just some general pictures some buds grabbed.

5.56 variant with bottle opener… cute.



My OG Israeli imported (AR variant) Hebrew Hammer in .7.62 NATO that I took in partial trade back in the 90's for an '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5 pickup.

Those .308 Galils are so cool, talk about coming out on top in a trade. Well done!

Very nice Galils gentlemen. I have a hillbilly built Galil MAR. Any SAR owners?

 

[Porter]

Unfortunately for myself I have never acquired a og Galil, I do have a few Aces but not the same.

I have a Century Arms build, before they were garbage. They call it a Golani Galil.

Sadly, I've had bad luck with Galil builds. Century builds have always been garbage so those have never worked. JRA stuff has been hot garbage as well, and even a reputable local builder was unable to produce a reliable SAR.

Hillbilly Firearms is who you want, he is incredible

He may be good, but charging $1200+ for a build is a tad... ridiculous. His engraving on Tortort receivers is also really bad for the $200+ extra they charge.

Waffled about having Hillbilly build one up, since I have four or so kits/receivers sitting in storage. Then I saw one of the Atlantic Galeo versions at a good price, went that route. Opened up the receiver a bit so it takes stock mags, thing runs like a top.

I had one of those - picked it up for $700. It would tear the rim off the cartridge about every 10 shots. I figured it was over-gassed. I should have got one of those adjustable pistons. I read that "Hillbilly" worked on these to make them work, but that he isn't doing that anymore.

The nice thing about the 5.56 Galils is that while the mags are different from other AKs, they are cheap and easy to come by.

That's a good reminder to stock up on mags while they're cheap. I should buy a couple more cases.

Also had mine built by Jeff as well several years ago. Awesome rifle.

I bought a repro steel carry handle retainer and a nicer wood HG, but having some fitment issues so gotta get it looked at.

Also rocking a gen 1 SAR in 7.62x39.

It turns out there are competent Galil builders other than Hillbilly.. here's my Galil ARM build, finished to mimic 1980s IMI models. And it only cost $400 to have built vs $1200

Tortort receiver with lightening cuts and engravings, surplus CZ contract CHF/CL barrel, early stock, M7 bayonet, repro handguard and repro carry handle assembly.

That's a steal for a build price! Nice handguard. Is that original or a new production?

My original was in great shape but sadly it was irreparably damaged during shipping. I sent the harness to an AKFiles member that makes reproductions and he made me one for a few hundred dollars.

And yeah, I won't disclose who built it publicly but I will say it took a few trips back to the builder to get it where I wanted it. Hillbilly is the best and I'd gladly pay his prices if he was taking current orders. Sadly he's booked in perpetuity it seems.

A legit import. That's a nice flex

An Action Arms Uzi is still on my list.

Jeff at hillbilly do my Sar build. There were a few complications with the serial number engraving, but Jeff did a nice job on the build. I'm not super excited about the gray park finish, but there is always paint....or not. I had custom HG and grip made from purple heart.

Would Velzey be able to fix an overgassed Golani? Thinking about getting an adjustable op rod first though.
