Was the South African R4 a licensed clone of the Galil? One of my supervisors was a SA police superintendent and he spoke very highly of them.

Buy a torch cut receiver from APEX for all of $15, google TurboThis, send him a kit with the receiver, he will weld up the receiver and assemble the kit and do an awesome job and you will have a factory IMI Galil for under $1000. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I don't know if it's possible, but I'd sure like one. I realize it won't do anything for you that an AR piston gun in 556 won't likely do better...but fuck it, I'd buy one.

He's on theakforum.net and don't waste your money. They are torch cut through the front lugs and cannot be safely welded back together. I bought one several years back from Apex and emailed him with pics. He explained this problem to me and that it was a no-go. Unless something has changed since then. ETA: If it has please let me know, I would love to have an "almost" real galil ETA #2: Those have been instock at apex for years, likely because of this very problem. They have had usable torch cut receivers for Ak pattern guns in the past, which sell out VERY quickly |
