The only way I'd buy one of those [and this is exactly what I did] would be if I could check headspacing, & shoot 50 rounds through the gun before I laid out a dime. I eventually found a good one, & my smith gave it his nod of approval. It was a keeper. Otherwise, you're rolling the dice on what will probably be a POS. GARY

In december, a golani was $500 |

CNC Warrior has kits right now. Buy a kit and get one of their receivers, contact Tenngalil and get on the list for him to build it.

Last time I had a hand on one was a public auction over a year ago. Went for gun-show price, close to $500; add BGC and 10% for buyer's premium. Pretty bad deal since the mag was stuck in the receiver and would not release! I didn't think it proper to bang it on the table to dislodge it during the preview session. Way to go, CAI!

GARY LOL --- like to know how you could do this unless it was a buddy's (except for checking headspace ) |

I just acquired a golani, which shoots great, just the other day. I had no idea how expensive they had become until I checked the current market value. Good luck on your search. Im sure you'll love it when you get it... I sure do

An original MR import .308 Galil was on my 'grail' list for nearly 20 years. You all are right. GB is not where to get one unless price and risk are not relevant. I finally found mine (an AR version) at local pawn shop in rough shape for $1700. I think it went through a fire based on some of the cosmetic issues it has/had, but shoots great and now has been upgraded to an ARM. I guess my point is, if you must have one, you must keep looking, and never give up. My find was very unexpected, but I never would have found her had I thrown in the towel. In a sickening display of luck, another one in .223 arrived at a local gun store, unfired, 1983 import...bought that one too for $1800...they clearly didn't know what they had on their hands. Keep searching, and be ready to leap when you do find one!
Here's my .308 http://imageshack.us/a/img440/3148/6gge.jpg |

Traded mine for an AR. It was a ton of fun and honestly I want another one, but I don't regret the trade at all.

I found a couple new ones (century builds) for $800 and still could not do it. If they had a warranty and I really, really, really wanted it, I could maybe see spending that. In .223 and all the issues the CAI builds had, I can't do it.

The guy at the shop ran 5 rounds throw it and let me run 5 rounds it and it worked so I picked it up and a saiga in 7.62 x39 yesterday.
If the shop keeper let you run it and it works get it.

Had two Century ARMS variant, one was awful, the other was meh at best. The problem with these guns is that the base kits are just worn out, then add Century know how and its a recipe for disaster.
If I ever own another it will be an original Israeli, but honestly its not an awesome design. If you want an odd AK variant, the FNC and Valmets are just flat out better guns. |

Had one for a couple years and had an Israeli barrel installed. Without a scope, I couldn't hit much over 50 yds so I sold it. I have more fun with a semiauto Vector Uzi.
