Just like any AK, it should have a pin retainer spring/plate

The AK Master Mount doubles as an optics rail and trigger / hammer pin retainer.

Both mine have c-clips on each end. Not sure if that's the usual spec.

RSA retaining plate
Tapco retaining plate Use a mix of these in my AKs; RSA was first on the scene, Tapco has a little wider variety of fit without modifications. Some folks swear by the c-clips but the plates make it easier to swap the trigger group out. My Galil is still a receiver and a parts kit in a box, but I have an RSA plate thrown in there for when it gets built. |

I would say no. I carefully tried modifying one, but no luck. It runs into problems due to the addition of the left side safety lever. The top of the that lever gets in the way. Unless you come across a Galil kit out there that is built with significantly different parts, just use a spring retainer. They can be a pain in the arse to figure out, but they work. Once you get the hang of how it's supposed to fit, they're really not that complicated, either. https://www.apexgunparts.com/galil-ar-arm-sar-semi-auto-pin-retainer-spring-new-us-made.html

No problem, my friend. I really did try to make a retainer plate work, but it quickly became apparent that this type of device really had no place to attach itself at the top of the thumb safety lever. Either that, or I'm just too feeble-minded to figure it out.

Any idea if these work for the galil? You need to go to Home Depot and get the smallest hitch pin in the drawer (I can't think of the size).

Ace hardware or similer stores typically stock hairpin type clips. Just take the pin in with you to get the correct size.
The rounded groove in a AK pin works better with the round hairpin clips than e-clip's squared off profile. AJ |

E-Cips of the right diameter work great....you need a small, flat bladed screw driver that is lightly magnetic to get them in there and then you have to hold your tongue jusssst right to pop them on with another flat bladed driver.
I like this little guy right here: 
You slide it in along the mag-well. The very front bent end goes UNDER the trigger group pin. You used a flat bladed driver or a brass punch to push the bent end down and then slide it under the trigger group pin by pushing from the loop end. The hump goes OVER the hammer pivot. The loop sits flush along the back of the mag well. The one in this pic has the loop bent to the left for some reason...probably for the photo so it would sit right on the table. They are flat in reality. All features sit upon the same plane. |
