Galil Caliber?

[jrc99]

So I know that an AK47 Galil that I found at J&G Sales is a .223 cal. Question does that mean I can't use 5.56? :huh:

Generally yes.

Generally yes.

I kinda figured. But I do find it easier to purchase .223 ammo anyway.

That Galil is derived from military arms and is very likely chambered in Nato spec 5.56. The vendor probably just misnamed it as .223, not remembering that there is a difference. I find lots of oversight errors on gun vendor websites---no knowledgeable editors...................elsullo

See that the thing that I figured that the NATO Spec 5.56 would have the same circumference in the casing as the NATO 5.56?

I'm plannig on getting one when I get my tax refund and I'm going to look for it at the Gun & Knife Show at the Expo and talk with the peeps I'll buy from about that.

The barons den in eugene has one in stock right now. Better buy it before I change my mind and go back and get it.

If the gun was built with an original military barrel, it will be 5.56.

If it was built with a new commercial barrel, it is more than likely .223.
