I picked up a Galeo on the EE this weekend and would like to mount an RDS on it down the road. What are the options out there? I haven’t been able to find much

If you can find an extra top cover, remover rear sight, add a small section of rail then you can have a top cover option.

Sarco had old incomplete and unassembled top covers cheap for like $10 but now out of stock, these were easy to modify.  You may be able to find others as the kits and parts are somewhat plentiful.

I bought a used Golani that has a an AK scope rail added to it, It works very well.

FAB defense (cheap) and B&T (expensive and rare), for example, make railed hand guards.  I have the fab defense. They seem solid.

Spend 15 years searching for a Elbit Falcon MK I with a Galil mount from 1982.

Thanks fellas. I love the idea of modding a top cover if I can find one... just can’t find one in stock.

I have the FAB defense hand guard. I also have a side rail scope mount. I still need to tweak my build a bit and paint it, but it fires.

You can send your gas tube to Matt at Northwest guns and he can weld his low profile rail to it.

Holy Crap!  Wishing him the best that he can get back up and running.  Hopefully no one was hurt.

I am in the same position ,and need a red dot mount  . I have been trying to figure out weather to mig weld a small rail on the top cover or the gas tube . I wonder what would be the better set up , and neither a used top cover or gas tube is readily available or inexpensive.

So now I will have 2 handguards. I just snagged a UTG aluminum railed hand guard on gun broker for $69.99 on gunbroker . I will install both and see witch on I like better and then sell the one I didn't like as much.

UTG rail worked great ,had to cut off about 4 inch's of the rail so it wasn't so close to the charging handle when you cock it .
