Buyer beware! $1500 first off should tell you it is not a IMI Galil.
I know there are many unknowing innocent trusting soles out there, but I wish I had a dollar (OK- maybe it would only amount to 2 or 3 dollars) for every time at a gun show I heard someone behind the table say "yes- that's a semi M16A2, just like they used in Vietnam!". Almost caused a scene once when I confronted the guy in front of the "customer". None of my business?? or, "community service"? The guy KNEW he was full of crap!
I have a Century Cetme, it is NOT a MARS Cetme (nor even in the same class), and I would NEVER insult the real deal by trying to pass it off or calling it so. A parts guns is a parts gun no matter who puts it together-unless ALL the parts are assembled at the factory .Some can do a really excellent job, BUTT, the gun will NEVER be an real IMI Galil.
