Quote History Quoted:
Shortcomings: The front handguard recess in the barrel is cut short so the lever will not lock fully into place. I have the tools to fix this. The next thing is the bolt handle knob is a bit messed up. Its pretty common on Galil kits so I cannot detract much for it.

Mine was the same as yours; fixed the handguard lever, and bought Apex's charging handle knob to replace the bent one some day. Mine also had a really loose front sight (the dovetails were loose). It took me a while to find a replacement on Gunbroker, but I did, and it's perfect now. Mine had a ruptured case during test fire, finally got a ruptured case extractor and got it out. Fired a few rounds since, but I need to shoot it a little more before SBRing.
I really wanted to love it, but it's just a big fat AK. I need to shoot it more, I guess.
