The Galil weapon system is awesome in my book, and I consider it the "cadillac" of AKs. But some of the more knowledgeable members of this board have commented on its overall weight with a milled receiver as being too heavy....
We all know their is a *MAJOR* shortage of Galil Receivers...in fact, lots of luck finding one of the Postban IMI Receivers from two years ago. The HeXXe "HEGAL" Receiver is questionable at best. I've talked to a few gunsmiths who stated "it's junk, I won't touch it..."
Now we see a stamped OOW receiver being modified to work with the over abundance of Galil Kits on the market. This seems to solve the weight problem and provide people with a solution for the missing Galil Receiver. Now the question is "does the action cycle as smoothly as the original milled receiver?"
I'm interested. I want to see it up close and handle for inspection. Looking at this photo...yes, it needs a new front handguard. Other than that, it looks like another great Rapid Fire cloned weapon.
